Mighty Mouse 2B. Definitely a strong little dude.
Listened to the 1st inn on the radio but from what I heard, he was leaving a bunch of pitches up. Probably got lucky there, too.
Yep, but we got some as well yesterday and today, on offense and defense. Lyles gave up some hard hits tonight that turned into outs. Got some...
Didn't notice the velocity... good sign potentially.
This is where you worry about Lyles long-term. Gonna have to miss more bats or learn to pitch better to contact. Numbers in the minors pointed to...
Meh... flood gates opening. They weren't gonna slump forever. Flipside.
1 hit away from this being a tight game again. I'll be happy if we get out of the inning at 7-4.
Getting dangerous... these guys can put up runs by the bushel. Let's get a nice DP ball here and go back on the offense.
Zona has some real high-end pitching talent in the pipeline, right? I imagine they envision those low-cost talents filling out their rotation...
Probably not at all. Were they ever going to pick up that much salary and/or give up as much? What were the rumors there?
Way to keep the door closed.
Hopefully Lyles stays sharp. All it takes for a team like Zona is a few hits and the gates open up.
If Sanchez had even above average speed/athleticism, I think he'd be able to stick around at this level, even on a good team, as a utility player...
Totally agree with that, bcast. Didn't realize your point the first ime. Totally agree. Wish they started sooner.
Moar runz!
lol... now the runs come in. I didn't see the ruling but I'm assuming that Altuve reached on an error.
2 nights in a row JD makes em pay for a SS making an error. No runs yet but more pitches for Marquis.
Like I said, just tempering expectations when I see overreaction. So who will hit a HR first - Norris or Lyles?
For 1.5 games! ;) There will be much more of the flip side of it over the next few years... just tryin to keep it real. Probably better to be...
If you dig through the books, you'll find tons of examples of young call-ups going off for a relatively brief time and then fading away.......
