    A lot of speculation that he never fully recovered from the oblique injury. I'd bet he's been compensating for that all season and a healthy offseason gets him back to good, but he probably never sees last season's heights again.

    It's actually not in bad shape. I was watching the game yesterday and the Padres broadcast team said all their main guys were down on Monday from pitching over the weekend, then they got blown out Tuesday, so everyone was available yesterday. Megill was the only guy who went more than an inning, but he only threw 15 pitches. Ashby might be down today because he threw 24, but they're probably mostly okay. Hopefully the Dodgers can beat them up some more over the weekend.

    Based on what?

    Yeah, that's a relief pitcher number and much like PCA, he needs a fast guy number.

    His ground ball rate has ticked back up the last few starts and as long as he keeps doing that with this defense behind him, he'll be fine. He's not going to be Cy Young caliber, but giving them innings, keeping them close, and not taxing the pen is enough at this point.

    Well, it's the Uehleins, so it likely would have gone directly to making sure brown people and the gays are as persecuted as possible, so let's just be thankful it was diverted from much worse causes. That family is absolutely awful and I wish people would stop buying stuff from U-Line, which is their company.

    Cubs seem to be up against TBD pretty frequently lately. Post TDL is so weird for a few weeks.

    Is that like one boob out or.......?

    I wonder if he's having a little dead arm after coming back from the injury. He seemed to have the same issue when he was fatigued last year (specifically the short rest start against the Brewers in the playoffs) where he just wasn't his usual level of fine with the location on the edges. Definitely worth keeping an eye on.

    Because there weren't any catchers left on the bench.

    And this doesn't even factor in how short most of the Rea/Assad starts have been, further taxing an already shaky bullpen. You're much more likely to get 6 or 7 innings from Holmes or Gausman than either of those 2.

    Fortunately the Royals won't be throwing the leading Cy Young candidate out there at all this weekend, so I like the chances the offense is pretty productive.
  13. mul21
    Man, that's just a damn good pitch to PCA for strike 3.
  14. mul21
    Nothing? Kirk hit one at 105 and the rocket that Happ almost caught was over 100 as well. His command has been trash today, hence the walks and the high pitch count through 5 innings. Now, depending on what Cabrera looks when he comes back, there's room for discussion, but nothing Peterson is doing today is locking up his rotation spot.
  15. mul21
    He's not locating well but there was only one ball hit remotely hard that inning. Kirk absolutely smoked it though.

    I'm getting the "sign in with Marquee" message on my laptop at work but no issue getting the game on my phone 12" from my laptop. Weird.
  17. mul21
    Hopefully this one is a laugher because that pen availability is pretty ugly today.
  18. mul21
    Absolutely terrifying off the bat.
  19. mul21
    Yeah, 30 pitches Sunday, traveling across the country, then throwing last night. Adrenaline can only carry you so far.
  20. mul21
    I wonder what they're using for defensive value.
  21. mul21
    Just ignoring Skubal eh?
  22. mul21
    Hot Nico is way more fun than cold Nico.
  23. mul21
    Are you saying the 2016 defense graded out better by the metrics? If so, that's wild. Also, there's almost 2 months left so this team could conceivably get close to 35 fWAR.
  24. mul21
    I'd bet Kelly, Thornton and Ferguson are at the top of the list. Rea will go to the pen, Assad to Iowa, and then it'll be interesting to see what happens when Cabrera is healthy, not to mention what happens when Palencia, Brown and Harvey are back with Steele and maybe even Shelby Miller waiting in the wings.
  25. mul21
    I've had the exact same thought. Patience and hard ground balls are the hallmarks of their current strategy and it makes me wonder how sustainable it is.
