Watch him be a fast riser and make it to the Majors (for more than a cup of coffee) before Leiter.

Yeah, I think him and Teodo could both make it before Leiter. I mean come up to stay before Leiter.

 

[saddles]

Evan Grant did have this to say about Leiter in a recent column

"Over the last two months, at Triple-A Round Rock, he’s been as consistent as he’s ever been, compiling a 2.76 ERA over seven starts and allowing just two homers. The walks (16 in his last 32 innings) are still high, but he is trending in the right direction."

Grant Anderson is the 27th man

an almost useless body

From Evan Grant:

Jacob deGrom's live BP session on Thursday went "really well," according to reports Bruce Bochy received. He will throw again in Boston

Should have been DFA’d along with Hernandez. Has a 8.53 era.

Burke too. His ERA is 8.78.

Eovaldi has struggled since the break. I wonder if age is catching up to him.

Good thought. We may not keep him. Try some younger pitching and an add a cheap arm.
If all goes well make a trade at the break for. Quality SP

Eovaldi has struggled since the break. I wonder if age is catching up to him.

He’s still got a 95-97 fastball and all the other pitches. It’s location. He’s getting too many foul offs which ups his pitch count too but ya he’s been struggling lately.

 

[Duane1952]

Eovaldi has struggled since the break. I wonder if age is catching up to him.

His era is 6.58 since the All-Star break.

RHP Anthony Susac assigned to Down East Wood Ducks.

OF Casey Cook assigned to Down East Wood Ducks from ACL Rangers.

That seemed like the perfect time for Leody to lay down a sacrifice bunt. Instead, he strikes out.

Not the greatest bunt history but it does seem he for one down last time

 

[saddles]

Eovaldi left the first game with right side tightness. He wanted to keep pitching. He felt it before the game.

Bradford keeps moving back closer to what he was in April. At least, through 5 innings he has. I imagine his day is done after 92 pitches.

 

[saddles]

Bases loaded for Kelly.

 

[saddles]

Great offensive inning.

 

[saddles]

Bradford is in line for the win. Let's go bullpen.
