    Have a game, James Triantos! 4 for 4 with 2 2Bs and 2 BBs.

    I'm also much more intrigued by Bain since he came back from the lab. I saw a report somewhere that the curve looked a lot better, and the stats seem to indicate that there was indeed some improvement somewhere. BB rate of 10.1% since coming back, with a K rate of 29.5%. Still room for improvement, but those are much, much better than where he was before.

    It was mentioned a few days ago, but he was part of the COVID outbreak in Tennessee. Still dealing with all that goes with it, I suppose.

    That’s good, right?

    Davis hit a bomb in his first AAA at bat. Nico hit a 2B as he ramps the rehab back up. This pleases me.
  6. Hrubes20
    He’s a bit banged up, yeah. I don’t believe it’s anything serious, but that’s the reason. Thanks! I assumed, but it's nice to know.

    Preciado out again tonight and hasn’t played in September. Did we get any blurbs about health?

    Doesn't Hodge belong to the "Mid-90's fastball but everything else is developing" club? I admittedly haven't seen anything about his development since coming aboard.
  9. Hrubes20
    I love it. Let him face some of the "crafty" AAAA players and see how he responds.
  10. Hrubes20
    Nice! Just a reminder to everyone that over the past 2 months and over 200 PAs, he's hitting .300/.403/.489 with a 13.7% BB rate and 24.6% K rate.

    He last pitched on the 28th. Bain is supposedly going today. A reasonable bet says he starts tomorrow and then again 5 days after that.

    Good stuff on Herz!

    Hit a 2nd bomb and has taken 2 BBs as well. He's really turned it up this month. His August, before the 2 HR, 2 BB, 0 K day today, was: .283/.391/.509 These were his first pro homers not against the Cubs. Always a plus. Final August numbers: .298/.414/.614

    Tennessee postponed again today and tomorrow due to COVID.

    Interesting that Made has been getting the starts at SS over Howard lately.

    Triantos bomb #2

    Pinango up to SB? That's a really aggressive promotion. I think I like it.
  19. Hrubes20
    Goodness. Canario does not hit cheapies.

    Struck out swinging 1st AB Against a rehabbing Luke Weaver. Rough draw for a pro debut for the 18 year old.
  21. Hrubes20
    Howard is probably the best defensive SS in the system, but that bat just has so far to go. People were talking about him "starting to figure it out", but he's still hitting at a disastrous .181/.238/.245 clip over the past month (101 PAs). With that said, it's not like Made has been tearing the cover off the ball, either. He needs to have much more than an empty .293 average over the past month with a 29.5% K rate to get near Howard for me.

    Please be a blister or something. [tweet] [/tweet]

    The return is looking promising, but I'm still pissed that the FO had their hand forced into trading Yu simply because the Ricketts wanted to shed payroll. The circumstances definitely suck, but it's starting to look like a really strong return and with Darvish starting to trend down I don't think we'd get as much value anymore. I didn't anticipate that Yu would have been so affected by the sticky stuff ban. His spin rates are way down across the board and he's giving up a bunch of HRs. I would love to say that the FO knew the ban was coming and that they deftly traded Yu before he was impacted, but I really can't place any other reason for the Yu trade other than the Ricketts cutting off the funds.
