Brendon Little back in box scores! 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 WP

 

Cristian Hernández continues to struggle with Ks:

 

Cristian Hernandez struck out three more times today (all three swinging), so he has struck out twelve times in 23 PA over the course of the six Cactus League Extended Spring Training games in which he has played so far.

[Bertz]

Amazing news hopefully he's at Iowa within a few weeks. Honestly I'd love to have him, Hudson, and Hughes all hanging out at there, hopefully then at least one would be ready to see Wrigley in the second half.

[Bertz]

Nelly with another dong. Also running a 17% groundball rate now, which is *insanely* low. Only a few guys a year run groundball rates under 30% each year.

[Rex Buckingham]

 

Pretty bad route by the CF, no?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Ed Howard has this triple and a BB:

 

[Bertz]

Chris Clarke with 5 innings of one-run ball, and given the pitch count he might not be done.

 

His numbers aren't as eye popping as Wicks and Herz, but might also be ready for Tenn sooner rather than later too.

Pretty bad route by the CF, no?

 

That’s the territory with the minors (also bad fields leading to IF hits). Take the good contact and know that BABIP is higher in the minors for all hitters.

Nwogu’s first HR of 2022:

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Canario started the year 2 for 17 with 9 K's, since then: 63 PA, .327/.413/.636, 4 HR, 21/7 K/BB

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Howard raised his OPS by .095 today
