I told you Hatch wasn't being rushed to high-A!

Well, everyone wanted him demoted to Iowa. #-o

A Maddux, at that.

Well, everyone wanted him demoted to Iowa.

Plz be good, Koji.

Schwarber at bats are so depressing, right?

The pop up slide is such a dumb side effect of replay. They really need to get rid of that.

Cool cool cool

Yeah... Zobrist was doing his part when he was leading off on the road trip. Not sure why they've stopped that.

It's only 62 PAs but love seeing this out of Eloy:

Kershaw gave up a solo HR to Domingo Santana and ended up with only 14 Ks in 7. Dodgers working on being shut out for the second straight game against a team ahead of the Cubs in the NL Central.

12 through 6 after only getting 1 strikeout in the 6th. He's also at 80 pitches, so 20 Ks seems safe.

Kershaw has 9 Ks through 4. Wish the Dodgers could score on the Brewers.

Perhaps he was referring to Hayden Simpson, 1st guy that jumped to mind when I read his quote. Simpson and Stinnett were the ones I was mostly thinking of. I think there's a difference in velo jumps for HS kids (and IFAs) who frequently see velocity increases in their teen years vs college kids who are already physically more mature. Obviously there are HS kids who can't maintain their recent velocity upticks in pro ball (Blackburn and Pawelek come to mind) but I think you get what I'm trying to say.

That feels so good.

No, because they only had Baez left on the bench. That was the direct result of burning Contreras, Almora and Jay to PH for Montero and Schwarber the previous inning.

Joe over-managed the horsefeathers out of that and emptied the bench.

Up to a 36% K rate.
