great job by detwiler tonight. didnt realize he wasn't stretched out for more than 2 innings and I would have tried to get him for a 3rd inning but campbells roids have been great for him and bleier.

[fish16]

holloway is a legit weapon moving forward. no idea where it came from but we're 8 innings in now and 1 walk is just a complete change for him.

[Erick]

did we officially call him up?? i missed that. i love this shit. Excited to see holloway see if he can keep it controlled again for another 2-3 innings.

Yeah, Bender was called up to replace Campbell.

just watching leon vs what we've seen from wallach, you kind of have to keep him when alfaro gets back right?

[Erick]

Holloway’s control issues showed up in that 2nd inning, fortunately he had the stuff to get out of it. He just needs to throw strikes, that breaking ball is really good.

Yes

[fish16]

Yes

does he have options to be sent down or do we have to risk losing his -- bat and bad defense

[Nick]

Anybody else keeping tabs on what Max Meyer is doing in his professional debut?

Stay hot Miggy!

We have the 3rd highest Run Differential in the National League and we are in last place

[Madman81]

2-7 in 1 run games, plus what feels like more blowout wins than blowout losses. that'll skew your run differential against your w/l record pretty quickly in one month of games.

And I think you can contribute that mostly to the bullpen and then also some low scoring games where we just weren't able to score runs.

The pen has been seemingly lights out when we have significant leads, but struggled somewhat in close games.

from what we saw from max meyer last night and what scouts are saying about how he looked, I think we will see him here later this year. he looks ML ready already.

If he stays healthy. He's up before August I'm calling it now.

So Jake Eder is a name we should pay attention to. Making his professional debut in AA just like Meyer. Throwing 95 from the left side. Has struck out 6 in the 1st 2 innings.
