Myrtle Beach PPD. Doubleheader tomorrow.

Other tweets have Assad throwing fastball (90-92, one saying mid-90's), a hard slider (88,90) and a curve (77).

A hard 88-90 slider with control could be pretty effective. Nice to see him get off to a good start.

 

Hatch's 6K in 4 innings seems appealing, although 2 walks and a HBP don't at all. Will be interesting to see if his control gets better this year; his stuff last year seemed good, maybe better than I expected; but his control/command was worse.

The baserunner at second to start every half inning in extras is dumb.

Yes. I’d let them play the 10th the normal way and that’s it.
