Did Armbruester face any major league batters?  3 innings, 4 Ks seems quite impressive, and according to one source he only needed 19 pitches for that?

Forget the 19 pitches part.  In spring box scores, they usually count strikeouts as 3 pitches, walks as 4 pitches, and all other at bats as 1 pitch.  No relation to reality.

No video sucks.  Would like to have seen Armbruester, Krook, and Ort, etc.

Sounds like Westburg was hitter of the day (homer, triple, lineout to right) and Mayo continues to make an early statement.

Interesting that they brought Leandro Arias over from minor league camp.  He made an error and struck out but quite an honor for him.

According to the box score, he faced Nick Meyer, Curtis Mead, Junior Caminero, Jose Siri, Richie Palacios, Carson Williams, Kenny Piper, CJ Hinojosa, Ruben Cardenas, & Tanner Murray. So not many major league hitters, although Caminero is apparently their top prospect.

Gameday is especially wonky for games at Ed Smith Stadium. It seems to work better at other ST ballparks.

Yeah, Siri is a legit big leaguer and Palacios is sort of a fringy AAAA guy (McKenna type maybe).

But Caminero is their Holliday, Mead is kind of their Westburg, and Carson Williams is sort of poor man’s 20-year-old Gunnar — so there was a lot of talent in the batter’s box, just not many seasoned pros.

Siri is their starting CF and Palacios homered and killed us in the Drew Rom game last year in StL.

I'm surprised at how well Tyler Nevin has been playing this early in Spring Training. It's like he's telling everyone not to write him off and he's demanding more opportunities.

If he keeps it up maybe someone will claim him when he’s put on waivers at the end of ST.   His only chance is a Mountcastle injury as a platoon mate with O’Hearn.

Sure, but it's been like 6 ABs or whatever.

      Grayson Rodriguez 2024

      By orioles22 · Posted

      I still care about wins. I remember following Palmer and others to get to 20 in the 70s. That's one of the things I miss about baseball from those years when all the starting pitchers would have these big win-loss totals in July and beyond. Fingers was talking yesterday about having an 8-man staff in the playoffs one year. I hope Rodriguez can get to 20.

      Re-visiting Luzardo

      Though there are a lot of outfielders right now I am not sure there will be that many next year.   Santander, Hays and maybe even Mullins may not be on the team.   That leaves Kjerstad probably RF,   Cowser CF depending on if he hits.     Norby, Stowers are probably traded.    Beavers and Fabian are not hitting that well at AA.   They could spend all season next year at AAA.   I could see Mayo at 3B and Westburg in LF.  Not because Westburg isn't a good 3B but because of Mayo, Holliday and Westburg,  I think Westburg would be the best LFer. So I don't really see Kjerstad as expendable.

      2024 MLB Draft Chat

      By OsFanInOhio · Posted

      I don’t expect it to happen, but I still always holD out hope for some of the high upside hs bats (Gillen specifically at 22, almost any of them at 32). We really don’t do it, but have really hit when we do (Jackson, Gunnar, Mayo).    id be a bit surprised if Benge is still there, and Honeycutt.

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      While those three SP are pretty good. The Cubs problem is their bullpen but even more so (like much of MLB) their offense. I'm very confident that we will handle them like we do everyone else.

      I agree trading Kjerstad is borderline.  I suggested a Kjerstad led deal for Crochet.   Two problems.  Some people don’t think that’s enough and I’m still not confident Elias would do it even if it was enough.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I understand the sentiment, IMO it's just the wrong situation. Teams that are this good, young, and inexpensive should not cast their lot on "cash considerations" kinds of players. We are arguably the best team in baseball with a very legit shot at a title (first in over 40 years). The waiver wire/players who are DFA's is not the way to go this year. Even if an opportunity arises where a useful player like Aaron Hicks becomes available (like he did last year), it is doubtful that we would be high enough in the peaking order to claim such a player (given how good our record is). I don't think you should ever shut yourself off from any avenue of talent acquisition. But I'm curious why you think "the waiver wire"/"bargain bin"/"cash considerations" is the best way to improve the team?

      Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, I was just shy of my 24th birthday and I remember it very well.  😀
