Harold's Leg Lift

Mize is nasty, Hard to imagine some think Manning is better.

It's a good thing Mendick can hit because he sure as hell can't dance.

Hahaha he sure is. I LOVED him in college. He was part of an absolutely stacked Florida staff so they used him as a reliever but he always showed starter qualities. When the trade was made I thought he would be the best pitcher of the bunch. I'm told his stuff isn't quite back to his pre-injury level so I'm tempering my expectations a little but this is about as excited as I can get for a game.

3 plus pitches for strikes. Those guys are dominant starters not relievers.

Very good AB from Mendick. He's stacking them up.

The Ninja is gonna have a field day with that change.

Burdi could have been one hell of a starting pitcher.

The juries out until we get his carry numbers.

I can't possibly stress enough how god damn sick I am of hearing about Tim Anderson and walks. Let it the fuck go.

That something is called deception.

Mendick can pick it.

Nothing to see here. Just a third baseman catching a flyball in the right field corner.

He's good. He's really really good.

Outs are outs but yeesh.....

Got his steroid filled titties lit up today.

You're fighting a losing battle, Ruben. Those words are meaningless today.

Exactly. It's not little league baseball it's Major League Baseball. The players want their game played a certain way because it's the best league in the world and they love the game more than you do. I will never understand when fans get mad at the players for wanting their game to be played at the highest level.

He's got 3 plus pitches and is a very good athlete. He could have been developed as a starter. Worst case he goes back to the bullpen.

Yep and while they kept him in the minors they should have stretched him out to be a starter.

I'm told it will be Dunning on Wed. Also hearing there could be a surprise call up soon. ?

Madrigal makes more contact but Mendick makes more quality contact. Running and defense is a wash.

Not much of a separator other than 19 rounds.

Someone missed a sign.

Advertising on the mound. Good lord this year is a joke.

Two sinker ballers going today both pretty darn good. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. If it works it works.
