    The bullpen is a bit thin, you can tell they're still trying to avoid back-to-backs, but I feel like Rucker should have taken yesterday to the house after Chavez came out. Then they'd have all three of Wick/Givens/Robertson today

    *sigh*

    Don't know if I love Rucker coming into a game that's still vaguely close. Should have used him last night

    Smyly the last three years threw his 4 seamer 47% of the time. His first start and so far today he's at like 25-30%. I'm really curious to see if that's where he lives moving forward or just a small sample "it just worked out that way" kind of deal.

    Considering how little they work together JD has really good rapport with Beth. I feel like it only took them 2-3 games last year to get there.

    Abbott AND Deichmann. St. John presumably coming up in the next few days to be the second lefty in the pen.

    The first three guys on base stole 2nd against him too. Sorta wonder if the track meet got into his head.

    Two of those pitches to Willson we're technically strikes, but none of them are generally called that way

    Effross now has 23 strikeouts and 1 walk for his career (3 HBPs too)

    Mitch Garver, the next batter, then drove in a run. Really looking forward to Joe steadfastly refusing to admit this was a bad idea after the game.

    Yeah looking at the 40 man Deichmann or Abbott seem like the easiest cuts? Most likely is that one of the minor injuries has escalated and we just haven't heard. Probably Simmons? Because we got positive reports on both Mills and Miley in the last 48 hours, while it's been quiet on Simmons.

    Someone would need to be 60 Day IL'd or cut to make this happen

    Pinango up to .294/.400/.471, though still too many balls on the ground in the early going here. Oh, and he's the fifth youngest hitter in the Midwest League, so that's fun.

    Roberts can't love that Boog keeps calling him "the little right-hander"
  20. Bertz
    Finally a TOOTBLAN in our favor

    Seiya is not having his best night

    I'm trying to not get too ahead of myself, since he really only had one good start last year, but he looks like a legit starter. Not a front end guy, but a guy you're happy to run out there every five days. Command is just so much better than it was at the tail end of last year.

    Against a lefty too Wicks shoving early with 4 Ks through 2 IP

    I was wondering this as well, so I checked on a bunch of other good hitting prospects around the league. Crazy small sample size of course, but the vast majority of them came out of the gates hitting much better than the Cubs' guys. K rates look to be pretty high across the board though. That's disappointing to hear. That said just about all of the guys of consequence are well in the black for ARL. Even the Tennessee guys who I was annoyed with repeating the level are (except for Strumpf) among the 25 youngest in the Southern League. I'm not going to get beyond a little annoyed unless we get more than a month in without guys being able to pull themselves off the mat.
