  1. https://twitter.com/drivelinebases/status/1528939104808775681?t=yZ27mtVudvyas98HmKeFBA&s=19
  2. Guess that's why Smyly has barely been sniffing the third time through the order
  3. Ortega really should survive the roster crunch when dudes start getting healthy
  4. It's starting to become safer and safer to assume Wisdom is who he is at the plate. That's a legit starter if he plays defense like he did last year. I am hopeful there's a bit more left in the tank. His contact rate is up significantly this year. It's still bad, but it's at a level where you'd expect more like a 35% strikeout rate rather than his current 40%
  5. Credit where it's due, that was a really nifty play by Simmons
  6. I was like 95% sure I wanted the pitch clock and then I saw a couple Wade Miley starts and now I'm 200% sure
  7. Feels like Caissie starting to pull the ball in the air is his "Uh oh, Happy learned how to putt" moment
  8. And that's after this yesterday could just be confirmation bias but it seems like we've had several close games where the umpire has decided it based on this twitter account. Yeah I've seen at least two one-run losses where this says the ump favored the other team by more than a run It feels like some guys just routinely get screwed. Schwarber back in the day, and Wisdom and Seiya from the current crew. I'm not sure what it is. Like Aaron Judge gets a lot of bad calls because he's a giant, but Sieya and Wisdom are normal human sized.
  9. Another clunker for Kohl Franklin He might need to go down to MB. I worry that he'll just be able to bully guys with his fastball, but at least he can stretch out and get some innings
  10. And that's after this yesterday
  11. Bryce Ball has his OPS over .900 and his walk rate over 10%
  12. Yeah it's just the Dbacks, but damn two great outings in a row. The velo was still down at the end of this outing, but he was still sitting around 91 instead of dropping all the way down to 89 like he was earlier in the year.
  13. Hopefully precautionary. Looks fine on these replays, so fingers crossed for just a cramp.
  14. Caissie 2/3 with a walk. Season line up to .228/.291/.366. Another big game or two away from getting his season numbers up to a solid place.
  15. Schwindel and Wisdom back to back dongs. Schwindel's was a cheapy but Wisdom's was an absolute dong
  16. Justin Steele showing us that dong problems are usually a flukey thing. He was nearly as snakebitten as Adbert last year, and this year he's been very fortunate. Loving how much more aggressive he's been the last 3-4 starts though. 5 Ks and no walks through 2 will play
  17. His slump didn't even last two weeks. I assume he's gotta be in line for a callup now right? The team likes to see to see guys struggle and bounce back, and now that's happened.
  18. Bryan Smith brought up the great point that we have a few doubleheadera coming up that he'd be perfect for
  19. Two airballs in the fourth and only one strikeout, he's a bust
