Kilian is listed as the game 1 starter for Tennessee on MiLB during warmups. Hopefully that’s the case.

[muntjack]

Very nice. I was wondering if he might go tonight.

[texascub]

Kilian started with a 3 pitch K, and a ground out. Then he gave up a walk, a single, and we’re currently in a rain delay.

Steele went five, struck out eight, walked two and gave up one run.

 

It's really time to get Arrieta out of the rotation

Jake is important for tank purposes, just got to a 6-man/put Adbert on extra days rest with the impending innings limit. But yeah, Steele needs to be up and starting to see if he actually may be a potential starter moving forward or just a nice pen arm.

Rivas in game two so far: BB, BB, BB, 2B (scoring two)

I think ultimately he won't be able to be a first division 1B with his lack of power. I do think he's going to be our favorite bat off the bench though (e.g. La Stella back in the day).

I'm guessing the only reason he's still down is that they're trying to get him more time in the OF.
