The results are great, but is anyone else concerned that Gausman is sitting in the low 90's with his fastball?

No.

he's lulling the Yankees into a false sense of security.

By the time that the 7th inning comes around he'll be hitting 101 MPH, and they won't know what hit them.

Gausman is on. 96 MPH.

Like I said, he's gradually working his way up to 101.

Fantastic pitching from our starters the last two games. Yesterday Wilson with the proper Quality Start (would've been less runs surrendered if he'd not made a throwing error), and tonight Gausman has a near-effortless 5 IP.

Unfortunately, our bats are silent. AND the Pen has been leaky.

Whose twitter account is that? That's the coolest thing I've ever seen. Where do they get the pitch location and data from? I've always wished MASN showed the box thing for every single pitch. This pitch against Kim wasn't even close and Palmer called it perfect.

Does a similar twitter exist for every MLB team? Who is behind it?

    • Since April 23. 7 for 28 including 2 doubles, 1 triple, and 1 homer.   5 walks.  3 strikeouts.  
    • I’d be very surprised too but it’s all about talent and where you draft.  At 22 it’s tough to get high ceiling talent.  I’d guess Brecht is a reliever at the next level but he’s got dominant reliever upside.  His stuff, reportedly, is as good as any pitcher in the draft.  95 strikeouts in 55 innings as a starter.  
    • He's already a HOF.  It's just that his injuries have killed his chances of being an Inner Circle HOF.
    • With three more hits today, Etzel is at .360/.992. He has 171 MiLB at bats, so a third of a season. Which projects to a full season with:  513 AB 111 R 39 2B 12 3B 12 HR 114 RBI 93 BB 123 SO 90 SB 21 CS .339 AVG .445 OBP .532 SLG Not too shabby!    
    • I would love for someone to explain or justify to me how in the world Mullins catch on 4/15 is listed at 65% catch probability. There are a couple of guys in the league that make that catch but it’s a very short list. Maybe I just don’t understand the stat.
    • Not sure a pitcher technically can get “squeezed” by the automated strike zone but Povich had a number of borderline pitches tonight that could go the other way.  Handley was visibility perturbed by a few of the calls on walks and Povich doubled over in disbelief on a couple of walk calls. He reminds me a little of Tom Glavine how he throws, his wind up, how he hides the ball and how it explodes out his hand….sort of effortless. I heard the announcer for the Sound say Povich’s curveball hasn’t had a hit against it all year long and every other pitch is around .100 batting avg against.  In person, his fastball has a lot more giddy up than the radar shows.  98 pitches tonight and looks like he has a rubber arm.  
    • a game you'd hope Mullins, Mountcastle or Santander would step up and were let down.
