    Jefferson Rojas walked with the bases loaded. It's a little thing that I really like seeing out of a young hitter. Speaks to a mature approach at the plate.

    I'm sure Iowa's just a bullpen game that Pearson happens to be starting, but given everything going on I'd stretch him out for real like they've done with Keegan Thompson. Like what could you lose at this point?

    Uh oh, avoid that Jewel on Addison and Broadway for a while I guess

    Uh oh, Wicks is hurt

    29 Ks and 6 BBs across 18 IP his last three starts. That's a 45% K rate

    SB is not great about consistent velo readings but I saw a 95 get popped in the 4th. And no idea how they grade out objectively but visually the slider and curve are pretty. I think he might be a thing.

    Ask yourself what it would take for you to deal PCA, discount it ~20% because of pitcher attrition, and that's what Skenes would cost. You're talking something insane like Busch, Shaw, and Horton.

    You should never expect *this*, but this is the benefit to giving jobs to talented sub-25 year olds.

    Really interested to see what Ryan Gallagher does for an encore. 20 strikeouts over his last two starts. If he has another big K game that starts really setting off alarm bells, in a good way. Like is he a breakout, or is he bullying children with some plus secondary pitch a la Nico Zeglin last year?

    Oh BTW Dansby Swanson's on pace for another 5 WAR season

    Will Sanders got hit around a bit but I'll take 5 Ks and no BBs on a bad day. Now sitting at 44 and 8 respectively on the season.
  12. Bertz
    Not the top story with the offensive fireworks but Luke Little with 5 Ks in two scoreless innings is a lot of fun In 13.1 IP since getting back to Iowa, he has 17 Ks and has only given up 8 baserunners

    This is Greene's first start off the IL, and he didn't do a rehab. You should expect a fairly short day from him, something like 70 pitches? So this game should be a little easier than it looks on paper.

    I would imagine this is because Alcantara's hit in the 5th should have been more than a single (an actual example of a batter loafing it)

    A 4 second home to first is elite, you're just mad over eyewash

    I think with any long time Rockie there's some possibility for quick player development wins, as by acquiring them you're essentially time traveling them 10 years into the future. But if he just is who he is, hard hard hard hard pass. Money is way too tight next season to burn that much on him.

    I'm excited. The ceiling is probably not super high unless he can really level up at 3B, but the bat is legit. Maybe the most likely guy at Iowa to be an above average player?

    I'll say if xFIP and xERA both agree on a guy it takes a *lot* to make me think there's something they're both missing. Like we're a couple hundred innings into Assad doing this and I still don't feel confident in it being sustainable moving forward.
  21. Bertz
    Just checked and it was a sub 4 second home to first time lol
  22. Bertz
    I just went back and watched the play because I was curious and the complaint is even more silly than I realized. He absolutely ran it out.
  23. Bertz
    I'd be pretty surprised if Wiggins were moved. Both for the lack of other high velo SP arms on the farm and for his 40 man status.
  24. Bertz
    Same, pretty similar to Brown on Monday. Ugly box score but ultimately a lot more good than bad IMO.
  25. Bertz
    Not super shocked that the folks at Undertone don't know how to set a frequency cap
