You have to figure it's over when Gastelum inherits a 3-0 lead.

and he gets 2 days rest ....he'll be ready for Sunday.

here's the play of the game....double to the wall....Davis to Rivas to Bernal....watch for the replay, better camera angle on the two long throws.

Ugueto's sliding grab in the 2nd inning in RCF. Good closing speed.

[Red7]

Baez aggressive on a ball that barely gets away from the Catcher...lunging tag gets him out at the plate.

after I call him a "smart baserunner"

Close play though. Shows he’s aggressive and not timid! Hopefully Oli isn’t around to break him of that when he gets to St. Louis.

we always have to remember....all these bases that the minor league guys swipe, they're held up by the Major League coaching staff b/c of Analytics.... Scott stole around 100 bases in 2023.

Well, he also got on base a lot more in 2023. This ain’t the Bananas. You can’t steal first base.

Is it a series v Midland or just one game?

3 straight tries....3rd time is the charm. Springfield to the Texas League Championship Series

they face Midland in Springfield, Sunday afternoon....1:05pm CDT

my guess is Pete Hansen gets the nod

Think Doyle pitches the 2nd or 3rd game depending on the outcome of game 1?

BO3...Game 1 Sunday, 1:05pm CDT in Springfield

I assume Game 2 and 3 (I.N.) are in Midland, Tues and Wed

as a fan of prospects, sure...let him start for 2 innings (50 pitches)....but...you have 3 pitchers capable of going 5-7 IP and limiting the opposing team to very few runs....do you disrupt that for a prospect at the very end of the post season?

I wouldn't do that, imo.....but I'd love to see it .
