Whew, good play Michael Busch
-
Aside from the bad defense causing him to have his pitch count elevated, The ump behind the plate wasn’t giving the low strike to either team, Hendericks needs that to be effective. Consequently, the ball was elevated and the Dodgers did Dodger things against elevated high 80s fastballs.
-
That was a snag by Hoerner.
-
That’s grown man power there, Michael Bush,
-
Nicki no power has been playing really good D.
-
Man, our defense has been dogshit this year, but these dudes can hit.
-
Hope Happ makes up for it. Hendericks should have been out of the inning with no runs.
-
W!
-
Cody’s bomb was fun. Crowd was amazing.
-
Shota is hella fun to watch. Looks like the Cubs struck gold out of Japan these last couple of years. Time to get Sasaki next.
-
Brown looked fantastic during ST. So did Killian for that matter. Hope both of them keep it up when they get their chances.
-
Nice to see Keegan throwing strikes even if he gave up the homer,
-
Brown looks so good. If Assad or Wicks struggle early on, he’s got to be in consideration for a call up.
-
Reds' CF TJ Friedl will be out for a while after breaking his wrist in a ST game. NL Central getting a bit weaker.
-
Announcers said he topped out at 95
-
Shota looks good. He has more velo than I was expecting. Nice to see.
-
Good news. Taillon’s injury for not getting the start yesterday was just lower back tightness.
-
Morel showing why he shouldn’t be playing 3rd today.
-
Not good. Respect to Hudson though. He saw it right away and immediately signaled the dugout to get him out. He might have prevented it from getting any worse.
-
Yeah, they have some tough decisions to make. That was a really cool in game interview of PCA. Seems like a thoughtful and good kid, regardless of some of his antics lol.
-
Ben Brown. He was filthy. Dude looks MLB ready already. Matt Shaw can play some excellent defense at third. The future is bright.
-
Yeah, that was weird. Hudson immediately saw something and was signaling the dugout and they got him out in a hurry. Hope it’s nothing major. He’s looked good.
-
So far, so good. If Killian’s almost 100 mph heater suddenly becomes an out pitch, he’s suddenly a lot more interesting than he was last year. Too early to tell though. Wesneski looked super sharp last year during ST, and then he disappeared during the regular season,
-
In addition, Bote is a reverse split guy too based on his numbers in the majors (86 RC LHP vs 94 RC RHP - Wisdom is 119 RC LHP). The main idea on keeping Wisdom (or Cooper) is using him as a platoon option to keep the pressure off Busch and others. I’d trade Bote for just about anything to get his salary off the books.
