    Rocker is still more “high-upside young arm” than established frontline starter, but the talent is real. He throws hard, has a wipeout slider when it’s working, and was one of the most dominant college pitchers in years. The issue has been consistency, command, and health. He had Tommy John surgery in 2023 and struggled at times in his first extended MLB action in 2025, posting a 5.74 ERA. This season has been mixed so far. There are signs of improvement — especially with composure and expanding his pitch mix — but he’s still prone to hard contact and short outings. For the today, the expectation should be: They’ll probably see good velocity early. If Rocker’s slider is sharp, he can dominate for stretches. But he can lose the zone and run up pitch counts. Left-handed hitters and patient at-bats are usually the recipe against him. The Cubs should have opportunities by the middle innings if they avoid chasing. He’s the kind of pitcher who can either strike out 8 in six innings or be out by the fourth inning after a couple crooked numbers. Right now, he’s more volatile than reliable.

    I'm still perturbed we had to use Palencia yesterday.

    How are we winning so much with so many pitching injuries? It's unbelievable, and unsustainable.
  4. BKHoo
    Brown 3 innings and then Assad 6 would be perfect.

    Somehow the NL central is 29 games over 500. It’s unbelievable that all teams are > 500 and it’s by far the best division in baseball so far.

    7 pitches. It should NEVER have come to that.
  7. BKHoo
    Wow is this a save opportunity?
  8. BKHoo
    They have out homored us this series. That’s weird given the results.

    Shota has hung a few today. He has been pretty lucky.
  10. BKHoo

    The Reds defense looks terrible.
  13. BKHoo
    A lot of hits with low VO. But Hoerner’s hit was smoked.

    Keep. It. Going.

    I think all fans tend to like players who play well more than players who don’t.
  16. BKHoo
    Well that makes sense. Geeez. This is ridiculous.
  17. BKHoo
    How is Wiggins pitching? Why not him?
  18. BKHoo

  20. BKHoo
    What is wrong with Palencia?
  21. BKHoo
    Is Nico in a cold streak?
  22. BKHoo
    Webb looked good that inning. Quick work.
  23. BKHoo
    What I don’t like is the way he moves, he looks older than his age out there.
  24. BKHoo
    Geeez Kelly. Get the ball in the air. That was weak.
  25. BKHoo
    Break. This. Open.
