6BBs in 2.1 tonight

Yes, I'm sure that Lord and Aklvarez are at league minimums. Baseball Ref does not show salaries for them. One of them should go to the rotation.

Mikolas is a waste of space. A sure-fire flop every start.

Cot's Contracts, now part of Baseball Prospectus is where you want to go for player comp.  Here's the Nats -

Our Ace!

I like watching him pitch, all those different ball movements.  In the interview after he exited he admitted he was overthrowing his 4-seam against the Dodgers, which didn't work.  Realized that if he just relaxes and throws it with command the speed is differentiated from his other pitches enough to be effective.  Clearly a smart, thinking pitcher.

Horrible half inning for Millas.  Didn't go after the wild pitch third strike, a doofus challenge that wasn't even close, etc. 

Impressed by the team so far, though.  Most hope I've had in years.

They are still making a lot of mistakes but they are much improved in other ways.  Yes, there is hope.  Love that they have some enthusiasm.

Contreras popped one just enough to sneak out. 102 MPH but up in the air (37 degrees). 378 feet, so I  guess a homer in some other parks.

The inning unraveled on the Yelich K. I really want to hear what Millas was thinking. I'm thinking he thought it was called no swing by the 3rd base ump. That led to the next walk. A WP not blocked moved the runners up.  Still, he got out of the jam  at that point.
