    97 mph sinker gives me a lot of hope. He was throwing 95 mph fastballs during ST, and was getting hammered. Nook mentioned that they have lowered his arm slot to make his fastballs a little more funky. I can see him be a long reliever when he gets called up.

    I haven't given up on any of our pitchers. Valdez and Javier look pretty strong. Urquidy had a great last game. Hunter Brown looks like he could be dealing consistently by the end of the season. Only Garcia is having issues with his command. I think he will figure it out because his pitches are still filthy when they go where he wants them to go.

    McCormick is still out because of his vision? That's weird AF.

    Scary. Concussion maybe? Too early for macular degeneration to kick in (it’s not that). Looks
    Like he is feeling better….

    Terrible defense. Especially Dubon. They couldn’t replay the dubon error or talk about it because of the julia fluff piece that was going on.

    Problem was Abreu went for the grounder too and Dubon had to wait for no-hitting Abreu to get back to first. Horrible throw though.
