Thank God. After Bernardino, this was the 2nd most logical move to make on the pitching staff.

Wait… I don’t follow this that closely… why are we thanking god for a 31-year old who was in the Indy league 2 years ago and had almost a 5 ERA last year? Not being snarky… I see he throws hard. Is something different?

Well, he's struck out 15 out of 25 batters he's faced this year. That's a pretty good resume by itself. He changed his arsenal, he's no longer bothering with his 98 mph heater too much. He's also stopped walking people, for how long we will see.

Last thought for the day - we are 3-7 at home. Or, we are 4-8 since Story went down and our defense went to shit. see my problem with the front office and manager is thinking you can put Story at SS depend on him the whole season. after the last 3 years. I was not hoping for him to get hurt but come on. the real prospects are a little away. I have no problem bringing a guy like Abreu down to get his head together. He has been bothering me all spring training. He gets picked off. He head is not in the game. something is up maybe personal i dont know. When u get picked off or do things mental you are not into the game. I'm sorry to pick on him. In a way Im glad we didnt dump payroll on the 4th and 5th option. I'm just bad enough to have a full time dh who was your big signing last year. Try to stay within striking distance of the wild card. Maybe later this year well be pleasantly surprised who can help us from the system. I mean this team improved to me they did.

Well so far this has been a pretty brutal performance. The fantastic pitching is the only thing that is keeping the team watchable and at .500. The defense is brutal and the on field mistakes are unacceptable for a Major League team. I am to the point that they need a Dick Williams, Earl Weaver or Billy Martin type that will crucify these mistakes in public. I am all for not roasting guys in public, but at some point there needs to be consequences and repercussions or bad behavior will continue. The look on Cora's face when Casas tried to steal third was of disbelief and I am screaming at the TV to just pull his ass out of the game. I don't care how good a hitter he is, just bench his a$$ maybe just maybe that would send a message to everyone. This teams baseball IQ is pitiful. Fingers crossed that Grissom is the answer at 2nd and that we get a Major League caliber SS so that this team has a shot.

The announcer was talking I think one game I guess Story really calmed everyone down. I can picture Petey back in the day. It shows that voice to take charge

O'Neill on the IL and Refsnyder has been activated.

I was not hoping for him to get hurt but come on. No one could have predicted his left shoulder would explode - but at the same time, if that injury had magically merely been a 15 IL stint he still wouldn’t be back for a few more days. The middle infield defense couldn’t even handle that haha Obviously the injuries to a bunch of other guys are complicating things because Rafaela was poised to play more SS when O’Neill went down - but during the off-season it wasn’t even clear if Ceddanne would even make the team or not. So who did they imagine being the “back-up SS in case like Trevor pulls a hammy in April” during the winter?

2) Tanner Houck tossed one of the best games of the season, as he recorded a CGSO allowing just 3 hits
His slider was solid last season and is now more of a sweeper, complete with a great 40.3 Whiff%
2023 vs 2024: SL -2.4" ➡️ -0.2" iVB -11.0" ➡️ -15.9" HB 105 ➡️ 112 tjStuff+
