Anderson's ERA is good but his peripherals aren't great. Not super scared by that ERA. Detmers has been good though. Be nice to get some payback on him if we can.

I said earlier in the thread that 2 of 3 would be a great result, and certainly stand by that. Glad to be done with both them and MIL for the year.

It's semantics obviously. I agree that questioning if he's ready is fair. I think saying anything definitively after 32 PA is not. He did hit one yesterday right on the screws in a big spot. If that ball goes 2-3 feet in either direction the conversation today is probably a little different. He looked bad against the lefty reliever, but I expect him to look bad against pretty much all lefty relievers at this point in his career.

If he hit that ball 3 feet to the left or right it's a base hit. That was a good AB, just unlucky. And he had zero chance to make that play on the bunt single.

Better ABs today. Hit a rocket right to 2nd in his 2nd AB. I expect him to struggle against lefty relievers. Keep sending him up.

Did we watch the same interview? He didn't laugh. I will say I couldn't tell if he was being serious or deadpan but either way I thought it was all a bit much.

Not mad. I said I thought it was weird. Still do. And it didn't sound tongue in cheek at all to me. He sounded legit mad at Cowser for it.

Ok, I guess. I just don't really get it. I mean if he at the all time record or something, sure. But because he moved into 4th or 5th place or whatever? Gonna throw one of your young players under the bus like that for that? Not the approach ib would take for sure.

I thought that was weird. Is it Cowsers job to know that he tied some number? And even if he did, is it common to save a ball because you moved into like 6th place or something? Just seemed to me like coming down on a rookie for no reason.

Agree whole-heartedly on Gunnar and Burnes. Holliday vs. Adley is a tough call. Adley loses a fair amount due to being a catcher but I still think there's a level that he hasn't unlocked yet. Right now I think I'd take him over Holliday, but ask me again at the end of this year.

After his Cy Young performance against us, Marsh was very pedestrian in his next 2 starts. Be nice to take tonight's game with Ragans pitching tomorrow. 2 out of 3 would be a great result.

DocJJ must be the guy the surgeons send out to talk to the family when the operation didn't go well.

I had asked about Wagner in the Bowie thread and got no response. He was listed on their break camp roster. EDIT - Ack, should have read the whole thread.

Like many players Westburg was very streaky in the minors. He would go on some pretty insane hot streaks but then also some lengthy cold spells. We hadn't seen him go on a heater yet at the MLB level so nice to see he has that in him.

Thanks a lot Rubenstein!
