Nice inning by Poche.
low leverage. Nice use of him to get him right

All he had to do was face minor league quality talent
Dodgers don’t have a great organization? Who knew.

Oh my. James Wood is playing a completely different sport.

Like Frank Howrtd, the basketball All-America at Ohio State? Drafted by the Warriors?

Maybe 2 from Ribalta then 3 from Rutledge?

Or do you give Sims a chance?

Ribalta not helping his cause

Against the Dodgers, no such thing as garbage time. I don’t want this getting close.

Another strong play from Garcia moving to his left.

Sick of DeJong
Yeah. For all the attention given to Crews' Ks to begin the season, Crews has brought his K rate down to 36%. DeJong's is 50%. Lowe's is 43%, BTW.

DeJong is a high K guy. It's what you bought when you bought the glove. If he keeps his average above .240 and hits a few XBH, then you are getting plenty from him

Wood takes about 4 steps to get going and then gets to first in 4 strides.

He’s not the most graceful fielder I’ve ever seen, but Wood certainly can run.

Meanwhile, Lowe is like "OK, guys. This is your night to carry the team. I'll give my bat a rest."

PAY HIM NOW! I don’t want to see him on another team.

Wood's going to be an elite hitter, and is getting close.  But he did not sign up with Boras to be a Nat for life.

Ribalta really never had it. Maybe he never really tried to catch it.

At some point, don't you want to give Rutledge an inning so he doesn't have too many days without throwing?
