    You'd have preferred he given up more home runs? His xERA and xFIP were fine last year too. It's completely unsustainable. His xFIP WAS 3.69, nearly double his era. His Siera was 3.58. Yeah its not awful, but coming off two awful years prior, I'm not aching to give a guy like that a roster spot. Those are very good numbers. Lucky does not automatically mean bad. You can be good AND have luck make you look great, and that's exactly what happened for Chavez last year.

    LOL

    We're presumably getting Cousins-Williams-Hader some would be nice to get to Suter this inning

    I know it became clear very quickly that Palencia was the primary piece in the Chafin trade, but what the horsefeathers happened to Greg Deichman? Riley Thompson had a rough first but settled in really well for innings 2 and 3. Haven't seen a velo read yet but he was a guy we heard some buzz about being way up in the spring

    Yikes

    Yeah I'd like to use Madrigal to break up a couple of low contact guys. Something like Happ-Madrigal-Wisdom

    Stroman didn't really seem to have it at all that inning, good to get out with just one run Wonder about guys getting gassed faster early on this year, and Stroman came out of the gate with bigtime velocity today

    I knew it was night and day but horsefeathering christ

    111 MPH

    Didn't actually pitch that well unfortunately

    Peralta is an extreme flyball pitcher who gets lots of swing and miss. Might be one of the worst hit and run candidates you can draw up?

    Including the big league club, the org struck out 69 opposing batters today. Every club had double digit K's. And this isn't some non-prospects bullying kids several years younger than them. Luke Little was the least prospect-Y starter, and he's a lefty up to 99 MPH

    Obligatory

    It's going to (fairly) get lost in the shuffle but, presumably done for the day, Ryan Jensen with: 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4K and 50% groundballs

    :flythew: This shutout brought to you entirely by homegrown pitching

    It is *extremely* early obviously, but Patrick Wisdom's made contact with more than 75% of his swings so far. It takes a lot more than two games, but this is something where changes become meaningful pretty quickly. If he's still north of 70% a week from now it might be a story.

    I'd like to see Keegan get 2, and then Rucker and Roberts each to get an inning. Get guys into the action sooner rather than later.

    Herz definitely looks like a reliever, but then again so do Madison Bumgarner and Chris Sale

    They're up 7 runs, Steele was under 70 pitches, and 7-8-9 is due up, I think we can be okay with him going out there Yeah I wanted to pull him after 4 because he seemed to be getting wonbly, but after those insurance runs leaving him in was a no brainer to leave him in

    Hiura swung through a 92 MPH fastball right down the middle. He is NOT fixed Btw let's pull Steele after Taylor regardless. Job well done but no need to push our luck
  25. Bertz
    Hoerner's groundout last inning was 108 MPH, which based on a cursory Fangraphs look is the hardest hit ball of his career Him leveling up a bit power wise would do a ton for this lineup
