Might get a few games at 1st vs. Lefties, but DJ hasn't really hit the last two years, either. Rizzo may be hurt...back issues. Has he sat at all this year? He's in the lineup tonight against a lefty, so...I dunno. He's played all 17 games so far. |

2-0 on Soto. Starts a slider at Soto, it breaks into the high inside corner, 2-1
FB up and in out of the zone, at 96, swung under. 2-2
Blows the FB by him just over the zone at 98 (!!), K.

Kikuchi looks like he deserves the 2.30 ERA he carried into this game.
As for Rodon, we'll soon see.

As I said, I don't remember him throwing as hard as 98 before. |

Not a very auspicious beginning. Judge swings at ball four, high and inside.

Guerrero:
FB just up and away, 1-0
FB hits a tiny piece of the low outside corner, 1-1, 20% on Gameday
change outside, 2-1
FB in the zone thigh high outer 3rd, fouled, 2-2
FB just outside, spoiled
Slider taken low, 3-2
FB above middle, smashed back up the middle for a hit.
I don't care what Flats says, Rodon may look better than last year, but that's not saying much, and he doesn't have the new pieces working together yet.

Bichette..
1-1 cutter above the zone, fouled off. Guerrero was running on the pitch, has to go back.
Humps up to 97 trying to sneak a low FB by him for strike 3, 2-1
FB in jams him a bit, foul fly out of play down the right side
FB waist high just outside, spoiled.
He's not getting swings and misses, at least so far.
Cutter at the top bounced foul off 1st.
Rodon at 17 pitches already.

Cutter is high, 3-2 on Bichette
FB low in the zone, fouled off
10th pitch of the at bat coming
Can't finish him.
Cutter at the top spoiled and Guerrero must go back.
I wonder if he's sitting on the slider and spoiling the rest.
FB inside, spoiled. Over 20 pitches now.
