No Hunter Goodman today.

Butera is playing Chappy at 1st in place of Abi vs the RHP. House back at 3rd. Ruiz back in the day game following the night game. Tena benched in favor of Vivas.

Home just in time to watch the game. Hmmm.  Not sure that’s good for my pain

Hope it's a snooze-fest so you can rest. We'll remember to shout  when we post after something interesting to help you wake up.

More on Hughes:
Quote
Hughes went 10th overall in the 2022 draft, which was a surprise, as most evaluators had him ranked at least a dozen picks lower. He’s occasionally looked like that kind of pitching prospect — including in a lights-out look against the Dodgers’ big leaguers the following spring — but for the most part, Hughes has tracked like a backend arm. His long and deep arm stroke limits his ability to hit spots, which isn’t ideal for a guy with no plus pitch on the ledger, particularly since Hughes’ stuff was also down in his return from Tommy John last year. He was sitting just 90-93 and with correspondingly less bite on each of his breaking balls than he had at his pre-surgery peak. He didn’t miss many bats at either Double- or Triple-A, and barring a significant bounce back in the quality of his repertoire, he’s now tracking like a no. 5 with middle relief fallback.

Numbers  in the  majors are pretty middling. 18.9 K%, 8.1 BB%, 8.5 HR/FB%, 41.1 GB%. Fastball is his best pitch even though it averages 92.3 MPH. Throws it over half the time.

I mean, I'm kind of shocked Irvin's ERA isn't over 6 yet

Two outs in the first, and not a run scored against Irvin. Of course, he has walked the bases loaded///

Risking life and limb for your team when you play for the Rox is true dedication
