His does Mattingly not understand L/R splits (didn’t bring in a LOOGY to face Shaw, bunted guys over so Hader could face lefty Dietrich)? Dusty would out-manage him.

Here is Kris Bryant’s Ding Dong Johnson in his fourth PA:

This was my understanding as well.

Kris’ rehab so far: Reached on an error in the first: Then, in the 2nd, he hit an RBI single to left on an 0-2 pitch.

Yeah, start another thread! We had a small discussion the other day but it would be nice to have a full thread.

4 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 2 HBP, 69-38 pitches-strikes aka his best start of the year. Baby steps I guess. Under 50% strikes again though Nah, that's 38 strikes, 31 balls.

Justin Steele with his second rehab start in the AZL.

Before his injury, he was on a nice little run. Good to see him get back on track.

Norwood is the third Cub from the 2014 draft to make it to the bigs (Schwarber, Zagunis). First pitcher called up in a draft that included Jake Stinnett, Carson Sands (cut), Justin Steele, Dylan Cease (traded for Q), Tommy Thorpe, James Farris (traded for Butler) and Ryan Williams all picked in the top 10 rounds.

Ohh, upper 90s on a slow gun. Very intriguing. He was 94-96 last year.

Huh...were there only 39 on the 40 man? Or...who got knocked off? Gimenez. We were speculating they’d add Mekkes with the vacant 40-man spot but I guess Norwood gets the first crack.

Surprised Norwood got 40-manned over Mekkes.

Because the small sample size of Happ at third was kind of a disaster I thought Happ looked pretty good at 3B from the eye test the few games he’s played I ageee. And Javy is clearly at second to try to steal an out with his tagging abilities since Lester is pitching and Billy Hamilton continues to be a thorn in our side.

Why do you think Báez at third and Happ at second is optimal?

And since toonster mentioned some Virginia prospects for 2019, I should mention that 2B Chase Strumpf and 3B/1B Michael Toglia of UCLA look like potential first rounders. Also, I really like Cal 1B Andrew Vaughn.

I like it. It was an oppo shot:

The Orioles’ reputation suggests they won’t trade him in-division or to the Nationals.

It seems pretty obvious he’s getting a phantom DL visit before his next start. dang the 120 pitches really gave him shoulder fatigue what a shame looks like he needs *squints at calendar* three months on the DL Really frustrated Alzolay got hurt.
