I guess my point is that there's such a thing as extended spring training to do what you're saying he was doing today (build up to where everyone else was to star the season). There's such a thing as rehab (or, again, extended spring training) to help him get "dialed in." Do I give him a little more slack because of his surgery? Maybe, and maybe I do need to give him more, but today still counts the same in the standings as any of the other 161 games. Why waste it on a guy if your sole objective is to do what you could do in a risk-free Spring Training environment?

Shhhhh. You're ruining the site for us.

(I'm partial to Seibu. Grew up rooting for them as a kid)

Just going to any NPB game is an interesting experience. Completely different environment from US baseball. If you're in Tokyo, Seibu might also be a good one to check out. Sterile stadium (most modern Japanese stadiums are), but if you're just looking to catch a game, it's as good a place as any... and it's tucked away in an amusement park.

While I appreciate the optimism... Kopech's final ST start should have been in ST. Today should probably have been treated as his first regular season start.

The turning point was exactly when I started to type "Kopech looks like he's added more movement to his fastball. Looks awesome." That's when he gave up his first homer to Pederson. I think next time, the key to his success is that I just need to STFU and resist any urge to comment on his positive performance.

Hanser Alberto has already outproduced 2022 Leury.

Hanser Alberto to the rescue.

Not gonna lie - was thinking Yaz was gonna blow a knee out on that play.

Old habits die hard....

Questions I never would have thought would be asked for $2,000....

At least a wet fart produces something.

looks like Diekman has a clear strategy for avoiding the longball.
-
Plenty of game left to disappoint.
-
Not sure I'm happy that Diekman is warming up. I guess it can't be any worse.
-
Seems bad.
-
"Ouch." -the ball
-
Yeah, based on 1st inning his change up was at 90~91. Looks like now his fastball is at 93~94, dipping down to 91~92.
-
Seems like Kopech needs to learn a thing or two from Cease
-
I think pitchtrax is mislabeling his 91mph changeup as fastballs.

Maybe. Fastball looks like he's got a good amount of run to it when he wants. Nice tight slider there.
-
Just as I was about to post about how lively Kopech's pitches look....
-
Yeah the way I see it, we're still trying to figure out the bullpen pieces - who can pitch in what conditions, when can we jettison Diekman, etc. Houston has a "set" bullpen at this point. They're going to have an advantage this time of year. Yes, Houston is playing shorthanded, but all things considered, I'm happy with a split. Hell - the team was in all 4 games, which is more than we can say about the 2021 Division Series matchup when the Sox were clearly overmatched.

Can someone start a Moncada Thread Thread so we can keep track of the Moncada Threads? I can never remember if I'm supposed to love him or hate him.

Nice to see bats finally coming through at the end of the game. Outhitting the opposition and losing would have been so on-brand for 2022.
