    It's a heck of a lot better than during the season like the London series IMO

    Yamamoto was pretty nasty. Especially that first inning those splitters were coming in at 93-94. There's a real chance the bottom half of this lineup ends up being a problem, but I feel comfortable chalking this up as getting the meat of the Dodgers' pitching staff.

    I'd presume since it's mid March the Dodgers aren't going to throw any relievers back to back. So between that and the Betts/Freeman situation tomorrow should be a winnable game if the team can get anything off of Sasaki. Speaking of relievers not going back to back, I'm wondering if Morgan/Brasier going while the team was down is an indication as to where they are in Counsell's pecking order. Morgan does have a MiLB options so if the whole pitching staff is still healthy next week will he be the guy going to Iowa to make room for Keller?

    I mean this in the best way possible but during the spring breakout game Mathis looked like a 30 year old. He was calm and he was spitting on pitches pretty much right out of the hitters hand. It was impressive stuff, I wouldn't be surprised to see him spend much of the year at Tenn. Hernandez is the guy who has opened my eyes most this spring. The at bats look good, he has big boy power, and the defense has never been in question. If there was a way to bet on this stuff I'd be hammering the over on himright now.

    They just showed a group of Japanese Cincinnati Reds fans. I am....intrigued.

    Brown is RATTLED, ugh

    Ben Brown getting loose. If Shota and Brown can get us into the 7th you feel pretty good.

    Batting immediately after Tucker makes Busch look really short.

    Curious how deep the starters go today. 4 probably?

    MIGGY!

    He had a game in ST with it tied up in a top knot. I believe that's what's going on here too
  14. Bertz
    BTW something to keep an eye on these next two games
  15. Bertz
    Yeah Yamamoto is similarly up. He's having more trouble locating with the extra juice though

    It's not hard to see this offense being bad. PCA and Amaya were trash in the first half last year, Matt Shaw's a rookie, and both of our middle infielders had surgery this winter. Kyle Tucker continuing to hit .033 is not a rational worry though.

    Dansby Swanson has a big offensive year, but WAR-wise it's a bit of a wash as big cracks start showing on defense Matt Boyd ends up being a Steele/Shota caliber starter One of the kids opening the year at Iowa ends up being a star caliber contributor in the 2nd half a la PCA last year The team is multiple games under .500 on May 1st and vibes are rancid, but they go 5+ games over by June 1st and it's smooth-ish sailing from there
  18. Bertz
    This would be huge

    Are we thinking that the usual pre-season topics (bold predictions, win totals, etc) make more sense to do ahead of Tuesday or to do ahead of the Arizona series?
  20. Bertz
    Do we think Lumpuy starts at Myrtle? And that Wiggons inning, wowza
  21. Bertz
    Caden Dana is one of the tippy top pitching prospects in baseball and the Cubs' minor leaguers didn't let him get out of the 1st inning.
  22. Bertz
    That's 3 Brewers SPs injured this spring. And Brandon Woodruff is apparently topping out at 94. It's the Brewers so they'll somehow find a way but jeesh.
  23. Bertz
    The Cubs have not had a lot of white guys with that type of build who hit righty. Matt Szczur is a good guess. If not him I'd expect another guy from the Dale Sveum era like Joe Mather or Chris Denorfia.
  24. Bertz
    I know he gave up a run but I thought Miller looked a lot better. I wonder if he's a guy whose stuff flattens out in the dry Arizona air?
  25. Bertz
    Seiya's lineouts tonight had xBA's of .850 and .970
