I just wanted to leave a comment so the thread didn't look so sad.

 

Smith, Jeffress and K-Rod looked great.

 

Wagner did well too, but he looks like he's a hittable pitcher. Not a lot of margin of error for the guy.

Agreed with Reilly. That pitching motion seems like he's showing the ball to the hitter vs hiding it as long as possible. I think batters...ML ones will pick up on his pitches sooner and figure him out quick. This vs Fiers who's delivery hid the ball better.

 

I hope for the Brewers KRod gets some well deserved trade offers. Such a well located change up. Easy to set batters up for Ks or ground ball outs.

 

Jeffress' excitement/emotion showing may be a call of his to garner closer consideration, should KRod get traded. Gotta Love man on 3b 0outs and Ks the side to end the threat. What a closer should be capable to do.

 

I missed Smith's inning, but know he's got a nasty slider vs LHB.

 

If I had my choice I'd put Wagner in the Pen and get Thornburg Starter ready for 2016 so long as he's healthy.
