Under 50 pitches. Would be great if we could get 7 out of Dean.

Gameday is saying Hicks has an injured leg.  No more details than that.

We dont know much more than that.

MASN just said it was a cramp.

The more of them you bring up, the higher chance one of them will prove they're worthy by the playoffs. And I would really like one of them to prove that by then so that we aren't defaulting to Frazier/Mateo/Hicks in meaningful games because they're the "reliable" veterans.

Sure, it might hurt us a bit now, but this team is in a very good position to make it either way. Plus is helps to bring them up now for next season and beyond.

Look, I've said it a million times, I don't care about the record, I'd let them all play, but they are going to struggle and it will be reflected in the record of the team.

McKenna would be serviceable until the trade deadline and they can look at doing something if they feel the need. He'd probably hit as well as Hicks of late.

Pass. I've had my fill of the McKenna experience...lol

They said hamstring cramp for Hicks on the broadcast.

Jesus Christ. That second pitch to Cowser was at his ankles

It wasn't even close. What the heck is wrong with the hp ump?

Kremer got a strike 9 inches off the plate in the bottom half of the last inning. Apparently, humans are bad at calling balls and strikes, true.

I’d say Daz deserves a chance if they need a centerfielder.

If you’re talking about the pitch Im thinking about, the low pitch was a solid 3-4 further off the plate than the Kremer pitch.

Well they are saying it's a cramp. So I think we're good.

The point is they were both obvious balls.
