Uhhhhh Pedro Ramirez came out of the game today and there's not obvious context for why based on GameDay

Him leaving (the clubhouse is thru the LF wall), and without a trainer is odd. Maybe ill, or is Breslow still in the mood for big changes?

Zac Leigh pitched an immaculate inning.

I think 12-2 might have something to do with it. Maybe just took him out🤷

FWIW a few years ago Longenhagen was glazing Leigh and said his slider was super legit.  And he's throwing about 2 MPH harder than he was at his last go-around with Iowa in late '24.

I wonder if this is a Roberts/Little situation where he spent this offseason in a time machine and rediscovered some lost velocity.

Hope Conrad is getting close.

The ACL starts next Saturday. Hopefully he gets into some rehab games soon after.
