Summary
Segments 1 and 2 – Review of the weekend games
Additional Questions:
1.Murakami hit’s his 17th home run last night – Over/Under 50
2.More pitchers hurt
a.Blake Snell – out for a good chunk of the season to remove loose bodies – ala Tarik Skubal. Skubal looks like he’s already playing toss, hopefully Snell can following a similar rehab.
i.Who gets his starts? River Ryan looked great in his last start in the minor leagues – he’s still getting stretched out after having his rehab from TJS halted. He’ll likely need another two starts in the minor leagues.
b.Clay Holmes will miss two to three months after fracturing his leg with a comebacker. Ugh.
i.Any peoples for him in the Mets?
3.Trevor Story is out with a groin issue that the Red Sox are implying was the reason for his slow start.
a.I know he’s cooled off, but I think Franklin Arias could be an option. Yeah, he’s only in Double-A, but he can really hit.
4.I saw Casey Mize on Saturday and he looked great.
5.Spencer Arrighetti – who had him on their bingo card? 5 wins in 6 starts with a 1.5 ERA.
a.But, it’s a 4.97 xERA. In this pitching climate, would you be moving him?
6.I got to see Seth Hernandez
