  1. Bad timing for the under-8 TO lol. Good energy cooking!
  2. Big to get a 3rd foul on chinyelu this early! Great ball movement and attack by dailyn
  3. A lot to like from this weekend! Took care of business. Ruger, Dylan, and the bullpen looked dominant again against a step up in offensive opponent. Jonah was back and got some ABs under the belt. Borba hit a HR in the midst of a slow start. Robbins had that "star" quality of carrying us yesterday. Temo continues to shine at the hot corner. Now on to another step up in competition on Tuesday and seeing how Flores responds (and hopefully some looks for Cozart and Higgins) and then a fun Friday night game against Coastal! Great stuff so far!
  4. Yeah. At this point, it's clear that Volantis is better than Harrison. It's just a matter of when/where Jim wants to use Volantis in the strategy of a weekend series.
  5. Great to see from Crossland. No drama, kept us in control both "objectively" and with the "vibes"... gave them no reason for hope even after Dylan's exit.
  6. Yes!!! So excited Pendergrass finally gets an appearance. I want to see him in LF and getting ABs too. At this point it seems we spent a roster spot on a transfer without development upside (R-SR)... just to be the second string pinch runner and seventh string outfielder behind Gumbo. Hoping Jim gives him at least a chance to succeed.
  7. Well that should be it for Dylan. Great work. Very few barrels, kept his composure amid the infield hits, worked out of those jams with clutch pitches, hit his stride and cruised, kept his pitch count down relatively low, showed the changeup more as a third pitch. Maybe we see a move to Saturday next week...👀
  8. Good progress from Jonah there. Weak groundball, but a better AB and let the ball travel. And he was running closer to 100% down the line. We're playing the long game here, and it was always going to be a gradual acclimation; good to see it's progressing even from a couple games ago.
  9. Yeah, he's up in the 70s already, it's early season, and they shouldn't let him face the top of the order a third time.
  10. Man, that's not what they said. I should probably just leave this alone. But if you're gonna be snarky forum police, at least understand the argument first.
  11. He's been great! But (1) to reach our ceiling, we need to get Livingston going and (2) Jim only likes Larson against RHPs
  12. Thank God they're going to the pen. Great performance from that guy.
  13. A missile! Scouts gotta be loving this. If he can stick behind the plate at the next level, watch out!
  14. Ehh, Jim and Max had to decide how to rebuild a hollowed out roster. They started with pitching, and our freshmen arms are insane. The position player group is great at the top, but as Jim has repeatedly said, the position player depth is not where he wants it to be. He'll get it there.
  15. That's the consensus about this team. Staff can compete with anybody, the ceiling will be determined by the offense. It's a long season, we've looked good in all games before this one, Jonah needs to get up to game speed, etc... but still. Outside of Robbins, we've been totally non-competitive against a #2 starter from the Big 10. Not a great day!
  16. And somehow still this michigan st pitcher has only 75 pitches through 6 innings. If you're gonna take meatballs... at least stay consistent and drive his pitch count up. Frustrating offense today. There seems to be no plan.
