    Richards' back foot breaking ball on lefties is getting some stupid swings.

    That's unfortunate. Hoping for a full recovery for him. Injuries really test the patience of young athletes. Having watched my daughter come back from a displaced elbow fracture the past several months, I can imagine the disappointment and frustration that he will have to get through the rest of the year. Good luck to him.

    It's fair to be disappointed with Stewart's slow road to develop, but it was the Twins who made him the #4 overall pick and gave him the money to lure him away from his Texas A&M commitment. They knew the risk of drafting a football first athlete for baseball who had projectable "stuff" but little refinement. I don't get into the guts of the MLB draft and tend to pay more attention to the players after they are drafted, so I can't remember what the general feeling about taking him that high really was around here. It's obvious that he wasn't at the top of the assumed prospects list that Falvine took on, and they showed that by not protecting him. However, the Rule 5 draft with all its roster rules can hardly be the sounding board for actual value on prospects. Many players just don't fit the stash and hide model. What I can say is that using his past start and the 10 hits surrendered as a data point for arguing that he continues to disappoint is very weak once you look at the other numbers, the outcome and circumstances surrounding those 10 hits.

    Not sure the fans are classier ... It's just SB Nation doesn't really moderate and allows for a lot more than TD

    Well, he didn't walk anyone and only one of those hits went for extra bases. It looks like several of the "hits" never left the infield. The defense was poor making four errors that game (two behind Stewart), although they did turn a double-play that Stewart coaxed and threw a runner out at home. My take is that he stopped the bleeding and worked out of jams early in a game where his BABIP luck was against him. Six innings, K per inning, no walks, no homers, two earned runs, .500 BABIP against (including 7/14 on ground balls) .... Sounds like a quality start to me It may be that your expectations are perverted.

    Need some more insurance runs for Hughes.
  8. slash129
    So Rodney will come in for a 1-3 out save ...
  9. slash129
    Hughes should be able to pitch the 8th, then Rodney can come in for the save in the 9th.

    I just checked into this game ... Wtf is Morrison doing in the leadoff spot ... Monitor must have accidentally written "1B" in permanent marker on his lineup card

    Before yesterday's start, I was looking at how the turns would stack up for Romero. @ St. Louis and @ Anaheim looked pretty daunting, especially when you could back Romero up a day and still have Odorizzi pitch on regular rest @ Anaheim on Sunday. I thought to just push Romero into Monday and let him be @ Home vs. Seattle. The way he seemed to just take the whole first road start in stride against a first place team on the road made me change my mind. Let's see what he's made of in Anaheim vs. Trout and Co. Ohtani may even be on the bump for the Angels, so that could be a really good pressure cooker test for the young Romero. The hitters seeing 97 on the edge may have the tougher assignment.

    Romero sure looked the part with the road test ... Exciting to watch
  13. slash129
    If only we had a pitcher named Poppen McWilliams .....
  14. slash129
    Romero needs to win the battle of the rookies today, because the odds tomorrow against Martinez will be much worse.
  15. slash129
    Definitely not getting excited about winning a series against Chicago ... Winning more than 1-2 games against the Cardinals and Angels collectively would be an actual step.

    Dobnak was even better than his line. The runs he gave up we're assisted by less then stellar defense. A passed ball, a steal of third where the catcher couldn't get the ball out of his glove and a poor throw from RF by Kirilloff all lead to the runs he gave up.

    I was at the Kernels game tonight. Graterol was quite impressive. Nothing was squared up. He gave up some little bleeder singles, but the White Caps looked basically lost. That all changed once the relief came in. Bechtold has an absolute gun at 3B. It was fun to watch, even though the bats never really got going.
  18. slash129
    Did anyone else see the interview with Odorizzi after the game? I laughed pretty hard when he said the big mistake was "that home run to Whatever in the 4th inning". Palka should put "Whatever" on the back of his jersey for players weekend.
  19. slash129
    Kirilloff is producing big in that CR lineup. Hope they can make a run for first place this weekend
  20. slash129
    Rock bottom ... Any win at this point is a surprise ... At least every game has some highlights ... Morrison seems to be getting into the zone ... Pressly was sick
  21. slash129
    I can only laugh
  22. slash129
    Well, Dozier's about as cold as he's been in recent memory
  23. slash129
    Robbie Grossman: Worst outfielder in the history of the game. Please DFA.
  24. slash129

    Kerrigan?

    Polanco beat that with a promotion from Ft. Myers all the way to the bigs a couple years ago. Of course, it only lasted about a week or so.

    Thanks, rain. Tonight's game is the one from this series that I know I can watch. Oh, you're going to dump on Cedar Rapids tonight too. Thanks again. I have seats behind home plate for Friday at Cedar Rapids. It was supposed to be Graterol. Now it will probably be Ober getting pushed into Friday (nothing against Ober, but I was looking forward to the 100mph glove pop).
