    Ethan Roberts has his pre-Tommy John velocity back, I think he's going to resume being a DUDE this year.

    I'm sorry, I have to wait how long before I can see Hartshorn hit again?
  4. Bertz
    I'd plan to have Brown take one of these games to the finish line, and assume the other game you use the pen like normal Also another pitcher is going to come up and join Martin for the DH. Curious who.

    He's another guy repeating, and unlike someone like Southisene isn't still young for the level regardless, but there's a noticeable drop in swing and miss from Lumpuy so far. Great to see.

    This was the one nice thing about the COVID season is with no in person fans they could be nimble with this stuff

    Re: LMG it probably doesn't hurt that Tenn's roster mostly sucks and the opportunity cost for letting him start is low
  9. Bertz
    With 5 walks to 1 strikeout to boot

    The difference is mainly name value at this point

    Curious what the roster move for Horton is. Obviously one of Rea/Brown is going to slide into the rotation and leaving an opening in the pen. Do you bring up Assad so you can continue doing the two long relievers thing? Do you bring up one of the vets to preempt their opt-out, even though none has really been amazing over the last month? Maybe Ethan Roberts, whose stuff appears all the way back and in tiny sample has been the best reliever at Iowa so far?

    Cole Mathis clutch go ahead 9th inning dong, obviously following another Hartshorn walk
  14. Bertz
    Also I know he gave up two dongs tonight but one of them looks like it was very much a product of the elements

    GOOD LORD

    “I had some tightness in my wrist. And then, you know, as the game went on, it started to move into my forearm. And so, I just wanted to err on the cautious side and really not try to hurt anything else….I just wanted to be smart about it. I’ve been in this spot before, and I’ve taken the other route where kept going and it ends up being worse. And so, I just tried to make a mature decision and end it there.” No promises on how it turns out but short of a hot day where you could buy a cramp this as good of an answer as you could ask for.

    105 on a line. His one last night 101 with some loft. Dude is red hot right now.

    Taking care not to overreact too aggressively to anything in the first week, but a Will Sanders whos sits 94 feels like he's clearly a top 10 guy in the system?
  19. Bertz
    The wrist thing has me hopeful this is legitimately a forearm injury and not an elbow injury in disguise. 🤞

    The MiLB app says this game got banged
  22. Bertz
    If you want some copium, Wicks has had at least three IL stints for his forearm since he entered the org but his elbow hasn't popped yet. There is significant correlation on these things, but it's not 1:1.
  23. Bertz
    Even if we dodge this bullet It's probably a conversation worth having that we do broadly need to get more comfortable with this stuff. More velo in the rotation is going to lead to more elbows popping. We all want to get more juice in the rotation but this is the price.
  24. Bertz
    Hopefully this is an "abundance of caution" deal from a guy who's blown out his elbow before. But yeah we're on heighted TJ alert for the next few months regardless.
  25. Bertz
    Despite being on the road and Cleveland being a playoff team this feels like a series you should take 2/3? Their offense sucks, we're getting the back half of their rotation, and they're not seeing Taillon.
