[Bertz]

The bar is on the floor for him, but Kohl Franklin was kind of good tonight? 2 walks and a HBP in 4 innings is not great, but when it comes with 6 Ks and a bunch of groundballs...kind of good.

4 straight outings with < 2 ER is at least progress, I'll take nitpicking the peripherals over being completely uncompetitive. Speaking of, Luke Little was legitimately good today, not walking anyone for just the 2nd time all year.

[Bertz]

Canario with a dong. He was AWFUL his first few weeks at Tenn, but he's been pretty solid since the start of June

 

Roederer and Mervis each on base twice already

Great to see Koen not walk anyone in 3 innings today.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Caissie looked like Corey Seager going down to get that pitch.

That is not at all what I expected that dude to look like.

With a name like that, he's exactly what I expected him to look like the first time I saw him. He's kind of shaped like a bowling pin. Wide hips, narrow shoulders.
