@Capnsparrow @nudibranch No, I wish, just going off his line as usual.
In non-depressing news, Lindsey Caughel struck out 9 and walked none in 6 IP for the Quakes tonight. He seems to be getting the hang of the California League.
@flamingoKid Don't worry, we just have to score at least 4 runs.
Qualified PCL pitchers ranked by FIP. Note Angel Castro at #4, Blake Johnson at #10, and Mike Kickham down at #16.
@DBrim @dodgersdan One of the multiple inaccuracies in this clip is that not all the dinosaurs died out. Birds are dinosaurs, and they still survive.
By whichever ERA estimator one wishes to use, this was a poor outing for Greinke. His FIP/xFIP/SIERA was 4.78/8.03/7.12. Let's hope this can be written down to his imperfectly-healed clavicle.
@Purple Drank Segura has a wOBA of .419 this season, and Braun's is .402. Clayton isn't worried.
@Purple Drank Anch'io (me too). At least he had the day off on Thursday.
@Purple Drank @Tony Fernandez (SVS Afficionado) Maybe he'll be willing to play for us as a volunteer, for the benefit of humanity.
@Mike Petriello @nudibranch Yeah, 29 K's before this game including his 6 K's with the Lookouts before being promoted.
Kelvin De La Cruz struck out 3 more in a scoreless 8th for the Topes today. He now has 32 K's and 4 BB's in 20.2 IP this season.
@Cecil Terwilliger I wasn't paying much attention to him in spring. I know that he's struggled with his walk rate in previous seasons, but so far this season he's been completely dominant, and given the state of our bullpen, I would be willing to give him a shot.
Kelvin De La Cruz picked up his 29th K in a perfect 9th inning for the Topes.
@Capnsparrow As an instructor of micro I find this a bit disconcerting.
@Dodgerjay @EephusBlue I met Magic one time at the airport in Atlanta.
@Purple DrankAt the risk of being crude, there must be 50 ways to DFA Cruz.
