    I guess my point is that there's such a thing as extended spring training to do what you're saying he was doing today (build up to where everyone else was to star the season). There's such a thing as rehab (or, again, extended spring training) to help him get "dialed in." Do I give him a little more slack because of his surgery? Maybe, and maybe I do need to give him more, but today still counts the same in the standings as any of the other 161 games. Why waste it on a guy if your sole objective is to do what you could do in a risk-free Spring Training environment?

    Shhhhh. You're ruining the site for us.

    (I'm partial to Seibu. Grew up rooting for them as a kid)

    Just going to any NPB game is an interesting experience. Completely different environment from US baseball. If you're in Tokyo, Seibu might also be a good one to check out. Sterile stadium (most modern Japanese stadiums are), but if you're just looking to catch a game, it's as good a place as any... and it's tucked away in an amusement park.

    While I appreciate the optimism... Kopech's final ST start should have been in ST. Today should probably have been treated as his first regular season start.

    The turning point was exactly when I started to type "Kopech looks like he's added more movement to his fastball. Looks awesome." That's when he gave up his first homer to Pederson. I think next time, the key to his success is that I just need to STFU and resist any urge to comment on his positive performance.

    Hanser Alberto has already outproduced 2022 Leury.

    Hanser Alberto to the rescue.

    Not gonna lie - was thinking Yaz was gonna blow a knee out on that play.

    Questions I never would have thought would be asked for $2,000....

    At least a wet fart produces something.

    looks like Diekman has a clear strategy for avoiding the longball.
  15. JoeC
    Plenty of game left to disappoint.
  16. JoeC
    Not sure I'm happy that Diekman is warming up. I guess it can't be any worse.
  17. JoeC
    Seems bad.

    "Ouch." -the ball
  19. JoeC
    Yeah, based on 1st inning his change up was at 90~91. Looks like now his fastball is at 93~94, dipping down to 91~92.
  20. JoeC
    Seems like Kopech needs to learn a thing or two from Cease
  21. JoeC
    I think pitchtrax is mislabeling his 91mph changeup as fastballs.
  22. JoeC
    Maybe. Fastball looks like he's got a good amount of run to it when he wants. Nice tight slider there.

    Just as I was about to post about how lively Kopech's pitches look....
  24. JoeC
    Yeah the way I see it, we're still trying to figure out the bullpen pieces - who can pitch in what conditions, when can we jettison Diekman, etc. Houston has a "set" bullpen at this point. They're going to have an advantage this time of year. Yes, Houston is playing shorthanded, but all things considered, I'm happy with a split. Hell - the team was in all 4 games, which is more than we can say about the 2021 Division Series matchup when the Sox were clearly overmatched.

    Can someone start a Moncada Thread Thread so we can keep track of the Moncada Threads? I can never remember if I'm supposed to love him or hate him.
