I think they can get 5 innings in.

The way he's able to flip his hands and clear his hips is Frank 2.0. He has a very similar swing despite starting it completely differently than Frank. Frank obviously had one of the best batter's eyes ever but as far as hit tool they are similar. I can see Robert putting up some 300 and higher average seasons, which in today's game is pretty special.

Huh, what's wrong on the North Side? Not tatas and beer season yet in the bleachers?

Sounds like they are being very cautious with the injuries. Let's hope it pays off this fall. Really sounds like Pollock could have DH'd this weekend reading between the lines but they want to just shut him down for a week and a half and go from there, which hey I can't argue with right now.

Currently rocking an xwOBA of .602. 2nd behind Kwan at .616, what a bum.

Last year he really had zero command for half his starts. Hard to be a soft tosser that is also throwing it down the middle on the regular. We'll see if he can rediscover his release point and I do think it's possible he "bounces back" at least in part because it would hard to be worse. He had a WHIP of almost 1.6 FFS and walked over 3.5 guys per 9.

I for one am glad that forecast was wrong. Now, if someone could do something about this dreadful PNW "spring"...

Nice amateur schedule makers out in force with the meteorologists.

VV benefited from the wind and relatively cool temps compared to summer but at the same time I will always appreciate a fill in guy that goes out there and makes the other team (especially when it's as mediocre of a lineup as he faced today) beat him. He did a decent job hitting the corners and we'll take all we can get from his spot in the rotation. Lopez looked great. Live arm, had two different breaking balls working. It's frustrating to see Eloy completely off balance time and time again. I hope it's not late early for him as anything more than a 800 OPS DH. Also, the new guy Reese hitting some balls hard: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed?date=2022-04-12&chartType=pitch&legendType=pitchName&playerType=pitcher&inning=&count=&pitchHand=&batSide=&descFilter=&ptFilter=&resultFilter=&hf=exitVelocity#661538

There we go, one of the better ones he's ever thrown.

JFC we must have the most stressful good relievers in history.

does he have a breaking ball today? will he ever?

he's fast in a straight line. he's slow AF side to side. we've known this for years now.

got the job done but this guy does not look dangerous.

he is flying open.

Does Eloy have any clue up there?

some bad PA from Yasmani today.

Robert is absurd.

ump is ready to go home.

terrible call but we'll take it.

jesus he is just barely hanging on.

he's so slow.

god damnit.

noodle arm kelenic.

I can't fucking believe Leury is going to get 400 PA this year.
