Great to see Hansel Robles looking like he may be back to his terrific 2012 form, and Tapia pitch pretty well after his struggles last year. Keep hitting, Plawecki, your time may be sooner than you think. Flawed Rocket: I think all 7 of Leathersich's outs this year are by K, but an outing too reminiscent of last year.
ReplyDeleteanyone noticed that Vic Black is on the DL? what's that about?

ReplyDeleteI'll check and get back to you
Thomas-.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct about LeatherJack. 7 outs - 7 K's. If he can find the plate more regularly, the kid has a future. Good to see Chism back in form. And offensively, Centeno could make a name for himself too.
