Mason Miller gonna Mason Miller

Quero very easy to pitch to for Miller because Miller very consistently hits the spot right above the strike zone and Quero is completely unable to touch pitches in that area

30 pitches last night from Grant likely means he's out of commission for a couple days.

They have pitched Mune masterfully today. Only one pitch even close to the meat of the zone and that was a wicked changeup from Canning on the first pitch of the game. If you consistently place pitches exactly on the absolute edges of the zone like this, you'll definitely beat him. His whole deal is just assuming that pitchers won't be able to do that very consistently.

Sheets's ability to make contact on higher than high fastballs is incredible. Perhaps not advisable, but still amazing.

I think that may have already happened this season to Hill lol

Gimme one of those GMs smart enough to give a two-way contract or whatever the hell it's called to Derek Hill

That was a fantastic inning by Morejon. Pounded the edges of the zone and never made a mistake. And did it with incredible stuff.

That's true but his arsenal is completely different now. He didn't throw sinker or cutter when he was last in MLB. Used to throw lots of slow curves. Shape of the four-seamer and slider is different now. And he's gained velo. Might just be different lipstick on the same pig in the end but I wouldn't assume that everything translates exactly the same way.

The cost of a starter who is highly likely to be good is...a lot higher than what the Sox paid Anthony Kay. I don't see the potential failure of Kay as some important sign of Getz's competence.

This wasn't the case for Kay in his previous MLB stints, but in this season's small sample he has very pronounced lefty/righty splits. Might bode well for how a transition to the bullpen would go.

He's not throwing his changeup and I think the fact the Padres are realizing that is resulting in these great swings on pitches on the inside edge of the zone.

Threw that pitch right where you would want to as a lefty vs. a righty but Andujar pounded it anyway

You know Cannon was not always this bad. Not that obvious to me what changed.

No-stress third inning for Hagen but velo took another dive. His first fastball of the inning was 90.7mph.

Have there been any updates on the recoveries of Thorpe, Bush, and Mason Adams? I don't remember even hearing about Adams in spring training.
