Read the article in the Athletic by Fegan on how the new pitchers up are having to adjust on the different seams on the MLB ball. Very interesting and a good read. Several almost can't control a breaking pitch or have some that slip.

It makes sense. First couple starts almost all fastballs first time thru the lineup. With Tigers seeing him recently he has had to go breaking ball earlier.

Medeiros wild 2.3ip 5 walks 3 er

They still have the playoffs!

Stephens doing well. Madrigal .306

Fatigue? 91 innings last year due to injuries 140 now. AA LHP Medeiros been looking good. rookie Pilkington only going 1-2 innings since signing but hasn't shown much.

If we are fortunate to have guys pan out like Lillian illustrates, these guys will have come up together and you may get some extensions etc from non Boras clients at a bit of a discount. Those guys on the A+ team are probably having a ball and like each other. Winning makes you attractive to other players as well.

Get drunk, let him drive home. Ok on second thought maybe not the best idea. LOL I got stuck in a plane on a runway in Houston with no air-conditioning 100 plus degrees with my 1 and 2 year old.....and my wife not with me!

He was ineligible for this years rule 5 draft. Putting him on 40 man now means someone who could be protected this Dec won't be. I agree if you were going to promote him this year they could have done this weeks ago.

Very interesting article and a real difference in his approach. Wonder if the pitches felt good in the pen which is probably not the reason. Coop? Looked like Smith catching him. Has Smith caught him a lot? Wish some one (Fegan) would ask.

I don't get bringing up Hamilton. Is he deserving yes but in a lost year adding him to the 40 means you may lose someone else. I get we have a lot of deadwood available to cut but to screw with Eloy while bringing up other guys seems counter productive.

Well AFL participant Tanner Banks starting for AA today. I have mentioned him at 26 old for level but is left handed. Looks like they want to see him vs better competition and decide re 40 man. No reason to protect him has been thought by many but I doubt you send a non prospect to AFL.

This is what he did at Oklahoma and he got fixed temporarily. The fact his fix lasted a whole year gives me hope. None of us no if it is physical, mental or both. My joke earlier was my guess/hope it is not a serious physical issue but either can be tough to overcome. I sure hope he gets it back and keeps it as he was looking like a huge steal and big part of the rebuild.

I was able to watch the last two games. He was very good in the field. Monday the play deep in the hole was highlight film worthy. The hustle on the base paths, taking second, stealing third, coming home was great. Hope it isn't serious. He had called for the ball and I didn't see Delmonico call him off demonstrably. What I am trying to say, he looked very much like a major league shortstop.

think he had one bad start and since has been quite good.

Medieros now 5 ip, 2 hits 1 run, 7k , 1w but they are being no hit.

They haven't mastered brain transplants.

A injury saving advantage is pitchers pitch. You may be less apt to have a guy warm up three times in a game,for two days before going in. Their appearances are somewhat more scheduled

Guerrero starting for AAA. Sheets HR!
