Nola apparently is/was only hitting 91 tonight. He’s given up 16 runs, 21 hits and 11 walks in 19 innings this year.

 

It’s April, cold and windy, and he’s been 91-92 t95 on the SNY broadcast

Got it, wasn’t watching. Just saw a tweet he was sitting there. Twitter was wrong, shocking.

Yelich homered again against the Cards so he’s at 8 through 6 games. The record against one team in a season is 14. Yelich has 13 games left against the Cards to do it.

I went to the Rays/Orioles game the other night at the Trop. What a dump that place is.

Went there a few years back while I was on vacation in Clearwater. It truly is a dump. The only thing going for it is getting tickets for 10 bucks and sitting anywhere you want to.

3-run jack by Kiké Hernandez off Hader in the 8th. Dodgers up 5-2 on the Crew.

 

Hader probably got distracted and thought the PA announcer was reading his old tweets when the batter was announced

La Stella with 2 more dongs. Wish we had La Stella and Vogelbach over Rizzo and Bryant.

Man, is that depressing... Sealboy hitting for this much power makes no sense.

Honestly not sure I agree. He has the bat speed and pitch recognition; all he needed was to raise his launch angle. It's easier said than done but with a guy with his hitting aptitude, it should be doable.

 

Moving forward I would rather put the eggs in the basket of contact hitters and help them develop loft, rather than take 'power (it's a bit of a misnomer to me) hitters' with whiff issues and hope they can correct those. Look all around the league and 'slap hitters' are finding they have more power in store than previously suspected. With teams no longer pigeonholing every player based on prototype and tooling their swings to maximize loft. You will see more guys pop out of the woodwork showing more power than they were projected for, IMO.

I’m glad that it’s looking possible that the brewers suck but a tad concerned the cardinals may be good

 

The Cards are definitely good, but I'm not super worried about them being so good that they have what it takes to run away with the division.

 

Their offense has been firing on all cylinders, but I think on the whole they've had more go wrong with their pitching than right with their offense. Carlos Martinez looks like he can no longer hold up as a starter. Alex Reyes is making Tyler Chatwood look like Greg Maddux. Andrew Miller seems broken. These things are going to hold them back from being some 95 win behemoth.

Agree, they’re not bad but they have flaws/injuries. I think they’re closer to a 85-88 win team than mid 90s. Wacha is already hurt too, the bullpen is shaky, if Wainwright ends up getting 20-25 starts that probably won’t end well, Mikolas is regressing a bit last I checked too.

Exactly. They could absolutely win 88-90 games and the division, but we're not going to see a repeat of 2015 where the Cubs and Pirates (or Brewers) are both awesome but the Cards are so good they still comfortably win the division by like 3 games.
