All of a sudden, the OPs is almost 700.  May start rolling now.

.716 after tonight’s action.  He’s coming on strong.

I see he caught his first game of the year too. So what does everyone think about the slow start?  Anyone with the milb package or that goes to games?  Elbow injury?  The cold weather?  Being 19 in AA?  Or just an ordinary slow start?

Combination of all of the above probably.  And also, it's only a few games, so not going to say he's fully out of it yet.  

Just the ebbs and flows of baseball as far as I'm concerned, but I'm guessing the injury probably didn't help.

Playing baseball in the mid-Atlantic in March/April is not that fun.

Not enough games to lose any sleep over it.  I’d go with ordinary slow start.

Gotta love the power to CF and RF. Through 98 AA PA his OPS is .742.  .661 this season.  

He's letting the ball travel more now and looks more balanced. That's the guy we saw last year. I think his lack of offseason due to the bone chips hurt his start and then he pressed a bit. 

Now the confidence is back, he's catching, and all is right in the world!

Yikes. Hope this is just a bruise and nothing broken.

Did you read that somewhere or just speculating?

Sorry, just speculating. That looked bad. What a tough break (no pun intended) if it’s as bad as it looked.

I just saw it this is good news it would have hurt for Basallo to get hurt again.

Nothing wrong with Basallo's arm after getting HBP last night. Basallo with the Earl Weaver special.
