Ponce De Leon...

 

Now where have i heard that name before?

 

Was he mentioned in the Dozier rumors back when, and ended up being traded for the not quite Dozier player they ended up getting over that off season?

 

That was Jose de Leon.

 

You may be thinking of Juan Ponce de Leon, the first European sailor to round the Cape of Good Hope the explorer of Florida and first Spanish governor of Puerto Rico. They're quite similar, so it's an easy mistake to make.

 

Edit: dammit, that was Vasco da Gama. My bad.

Seventh grade social studies, searching for the fountain of youth?

If Hill can stay healthy he might be an absolute steal. Now, him staying healthy is a major if. Dude has been in the league for 15 years and has pitched less than 1000 innings.

While watching Hill it doesn't seem like he's dominating, but then you realize he's pitched 5 innings with the opposing team never even having a guy in scoring position.

And throwing less than 70 pitches.

I actually thought JD was swinging the bat well there.  He looks more powerful/confident at the plate now. I think that HR last night helped him a lot.

Wait, what is it about an 89 mph fastball that doesn't suggest dominant to you?

Duffy chucking some nice curves...I did notice his velocity seems down from last year. I remember a few games last year he was throwing the FB 97+.

Hopefully we can see Hill go 7 in games like this in the future when he's stretched out. In the meanwhile, everyone in the bullpen outside of Littell and Smeltzer have looked really good.

The quartet of Maeda, Bailey, Hill, and Clippard has 11 hits and 5 walks in 17 innings (0.941 WHIP), with 13 strikeouts and 4 earned runs (2.12 ERA), against a couple of good lineups.

 

So far, so good.

By my California maths, that's one good game for Blyleven.
