Nice inning Wily! Even the walk shouldn't have been one.

 

Would have to think there's a good chance Knebel isn't available today. He's seen a lot of work lately.

 

Yeah I hope so. He has pitched 4 of the last 5 days and that last one was very high stress.

Do we ever play in Chicago in the middle of the season? Feels like the cold weather hoods are a permanent part of our Wrigley Field uniforms.

 

3 Games in September and that is it this year.

Domingo Santana is batting .373/.455/.552 over his last 20 games played.

Is there any chance that Wily is going to transform to a shutdown reliever just from moving to the pen? Because that was shutdown reliever stuff the last 2 innings.

 

 

Yes there is a chance. High velocity fastball plus slider is something that works in a bullpen but isn't enough in the rotation.

Broxton has over a .900 OPS in his past 30 days of games too. OF is looking really good lately.

 

Honestly, we assume Brinson should be up in June or July, but he could end up being a September callup guy.

In fantasy circles I've been telling people Brinson isn't coming up until late in the year, someone heavily struggles or gets hurt or Braun is traded. There just isn't any room for him. If Broxton and Santana both hit all year long it just means someone is traded in the off season.

Arcia really clubbing the ball today. 3 hits that went about 100 feet total.
