You're a wizard with these, Steve!

Here we go!  Monday afternoon baseball, this doesn't happen too often.

I know Wells is focused on not giving up walks, but that might have been too good of a 0-2 pitch to throw Bobby Witt.

WItt and Mountcastle today both Bottom 10 among 172 qualified batters at Chase Rate.   No one should throw Ryan Mountcastle 0-2 pitches like that.

That's what speed do.

Trey's 5-years of Sprint Speed percentiles: 64-51-48-xx-40-23.

Man - Hays is dialed in.

Haven't had a lot of opportunities to score, need to cash in here

Stolen bases make things happen.

Today is MJ Melendez's 5th big league game - not sure if that was his first CS chance.

It is also fun a catcher is wearing #1.

Mancini rescues Mullins, 3-1 O's.

A Bradish-like long wait for Tyler Wells as he is about to face Third Time Through the Order for first time in four years.

I wish someone were up behind him...he should be gone if even one guy gets on.

[SteveA]

We gonna try to get more than 5 out of Wells?

Anybody up?

No one throwing in bullpen, at least not that MASN has shown yet.
