I would think Marrero and Descalso will play there for now. Owings has never played 3B at least in the majors. -

He has shown skills before. Before his surgery, and in flashes after. Always liked him, but I'm betting he regresses. He has never shown the ability to be consistently great, at least not yet, and I don't think he will show it this year either. But obviously he is a guy who can toss out gems with the best of them from time to time and for stretches.Originally posted by revo View PostComment

Corbin is throwing like 60% sliders. It's working for him.
Yesterday's game was a road start, but I wonder if the ball grippiness aspects of the humidor is working better than the home run supressing part, at least so far.Comment

Exactly -- we can't be greedy here. Corbin was cruising and had a bad inning. Seemed like he ran out of gas and stopped locating his pitches. He's not going to keep striking out 14 per 9 but he's certainly looking great.Originally posted by Ken View PostComment

I was at the game yesterday and today. Corbin looked great until he lost his control. Ray... did not look great. Giving up a big HR to Posey, that happens, but he was at 100 pitches through 4 2/3 against a bad Giants lineup.
Other notes: Suarez and Beede both looked decent. Beede could be pretty good with a bit better control, Suarez got some strikeouts and didn't give up much contact, though what he did got crushed - only four hits and no walks, but that included a pair of no-doubt HRs from Goldschmidt and JR Murphy and a double off the wall from Ketel Marte right before he got pulled.
Longoria looks awful at the plate, so does Brandon Crawford.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.Comment

Holy crap Ketel Marte looks good. I didn't get him enough places.Comment

Doesn't he look like the same guy he's been the last few years? I'm not seeing much to get excited for, at least in fantasy terms. Maybe I'm missing it.Originally posted by joncarlos View PostComment

I dunno, hard to say what numbers aren't small sample size at this point. I just think he looks good in the box.Originally posted by Ken View PostComment

yep, I watched several innings of the Ari-StL game earlier this week ... he certainly does look like he belongsOriginally posted by joncarlos View PostIt certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment

Deven Marrero passed Alex Avila on the basepaths, nullifying a 3-run HR. Funny stuff.Comment
