Maybe that’s why he is average?

I’d say so.

Yikes. That coulda been a rough inning. Kremer needs to get his shtuff together. 

He got his stuff together well enough to get Judge out.  Way to go Dean!

Agreed. He kept Soto in the ballpark and got Judge out on a groundball for the second time.

I'm encouraged to see Cowser hit it to the warning track off of a good lefty like Cortes.

For the life of me I cannot understand why our guys cannot make good contact against this Super Mario looking gasbag

So, if Mullins is 1 for 19 against Cortes, why start him instead of someone else, like Heston?

Is it really that bad to throw a LH hitter against a LH pitcher?

Well Mullins is left handed too.  I thought they'd go with McKenna today, and go with Heston vs a righty in the bullpen or a starter later in the week.  I'm thinking they didn't like something they saw in Heston when he played last -- either at the plate or in the field.

Thanks for spelling it out Jim.

I guess would you prefer the in depth explanation or Kevin Brown’s emphasis and pause for applause. That could have been a KB joke for sure.

Because he plays exceptional defense and it looks like it will be needed.

He may not have the same build, but he reminds me a lot of Sid Fernandez. His fastball sneaks up on you

2-0 was a good count to look for one to rip like Adley just did.

[Emory Eagle]

Nestor looks like he should naturally be surrounded by dust and squiggly lines like pigpen from Peanuts.  Looks like a guy that eats tuna straight out of the can at work.

Gunnar can run

Other than that...

Lol, CB Bucknor stared at Gunnar's head like he was contemplating a super late strike call, then figured, "eh, too late." It was clearly a ball, but it was a Bucknor Strike and he let Gunnar get away with it for a walk.

Adley gets a hit!

Jorge Mateo has been a good influence on Gunnar Henderson
