Bell played last night so I get it, but Urshela did too. Cue the walkup tunes!

Everyone else seems to be following his lead. Still just the 3 baserunners in the game.

Once the starters left the defense really fell apart. Things to file away.

More errors than hits if that tells you anything about the game.

I was going to comment on Bradley and he did just give up a gopher to Baldwin. It looks like his pitches flattened out at the end of his outing, but overall he looked pretty good.

He's going to be solid middle of lineup arm. Would be a fourth SP but will be asked to be a third now. Watch right after the HR a blip in concentration.. another hit. Caratini is watching too and he's a smart guy. Taj would benefit from having a regular catcher..   

 

Rojas... Good inning.

I hope we never see this OF configuration in the regular season

[Patzky]

Interesting the Outman fifth inning AB, called strike three looked decidedly low on the graphic, the ABS challenge was successful. Someone was paying attention.

[AceWrigley]

James "Bonehead" Outman.

Bats are waking up a little here.
