February 21Feb 21 Gasparino caught that ball in the palm of his glove. He could have dropped, not popular, but use two hands in that situation.

February 21Feb 21 Burns is going to be super important. A solid back end reliever who we can stretch out to 5+ innings, if needed
February 21Feb 21 Riojas needs to be a bridge guy, not a finish-the-game guy. It's unfortunate he's had 2 rough innings around 5 other innings so far where he has been pretty much dominant.

No reason for him to be in there after two hits lead off the inning.

Not sure what Schloss's philosophy on it is, but maybe he's just trying to stretch him as much as he can in the early part of the season so we can get more out of him later.

Running him out there expecting him to get you 14 outs is not good management by Max and Schloss. Ruger shouldn’t be touching the ball before the 7th inning. There is more than enough arms in that pen to find 3 outs here and there to get the ball to the 7th or 8th.

Or, maybe it's really damn early in the season and they're seeing how guys handle certain situations or what their limits are. Just a thought.
February 21Feb 21 Ethan Mendoza is hitting .182, but I feel like he has been putting together really good ABs all 4 games so far.

Bingo. Looks like Schloss is gonna do crazy shit in the non con to figure this team out. I already hate all the different lineups but I get it.

February 21Feb 21 It's February. We just need to win. Get them again tomorrow. Unfortunately I will be at my daughter's sixth birthday party but I expect you guys to keep me informed on what is going on.
February 21Feb 21 Can't hit it much better than that. Wind chill must be brutal at the Disch today.Wasn’t bad until around bottom of the 6th, top 7. Wind picked up just a bit and then it got cold. Phone app said “feels like” 29. Pretty sure it was that or colder.
