Now, let's see that kid put a month together pitching like that. He just needs to learn consistency and how to pitch. That was a great inning! Some of the best we've seen from him, mixing pitches...inside/outside...then setting them up for the heat instead of relying on it.

Not sure what the plan is for the catching position but I’m not sure how good I feel about Del Castillo from a defensive perspective if we need him long term. The bat is exciting so maybe have Herrera start most games and have him in case of emergency. Hopefully this is a 7-day deal and not any longer.

Well, at least 10 days…

Trying to move to the light...

Gabi's injury is more impactful than Walkers
They need to get Gabi a private trainer. He's racking up the muscle injuries and whatever the team trainers are doing with him isn't working.

The Diamondbacks have Brandon Pfaadt listed as their probable starter for Game 1 on Wednesday and Eduardo Rodriguez listed for Game 2.

Wow! So, we are playing 6 games in 5 days against 2 of the best teams in MLB.

And the Pirates, who are really good. It's a crazy hard week. Currently 3-1. If we just go 3-2 forward it's an incredbily successful week

This kid can mash the ball as a catcher. He has De Los Santos stats in AAA but at the catcher position. Lefty hitter bonus
The biggest difference I see is that Del Los Santos throws out 25% of runners and Moreno throws out 36%. Del Los Santos also played a lot of DH and was an OF in collegeand moved to C his junior year. It'll be interesting to see how he adjusts to the MLB and if he'sstill growing into the position. .

Guessing we’ll see Del Castillo in game one. Has he had time working with Brandon?
