Video of Almora's HR from yesterday just left of straight away center. He got all of it.

Glimpse of a cool bat flip by Flete at about :41.

Nice to see Pierce Johnson both back pitching, and pitching seemingly very well. 11K/1run/8IP thus far, that's encouraging. 6K/1BB nights are always good.

 

Haven't been getting a lot of "wow" pitching nights, but have been some variably decent ones from a variety of guys. Hopefully we'll see some good work with increasing or sustainable consistency from Clifton and Steele and Sands and Kellogg and Alzolay etc..

 

Disappointed to have my guy McNeil have a lousy game last night. Too bad. Consistency is always a hard thing, of course, and in April we only have a couple of pitching samples to comprise the composite.

Underwood should be back soon. He pitched 4-5 innings his last two times out in ExST and pitched well. Cease and Hudson we'll have to wait for...
