Davey has been having Bell do drills out in LF pregame that past few nights. Won the series tonight, wonder if they give that idea a shot tommorow.

That's if the Lerners don't cheap out and offer him less than the highest price contract and Soto walks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zCommander Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo says he doesn't plan on having infielder Starlin Castro back with the team this season. Castro was placed on administrative leave July 16 by Major League Baseball as it investigates a domestic violence accusation. Rizzo, speaking with a group of reporters about a variety of issues prior to the Nationals' game against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, didn't say if his statement on Castro was based on whether the process will play out in time or not. "The process is the process,'' he said. "You asked the question, 'Do I plan on having Starlin Castro back' and I said I do not plan on having him back.''

Riggo#44 Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 I love this team does not suffer fools. It's something I can definitely hang my hat on. Rizzo does not put up with bull****. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the Futures game. He throws a lot of balls out of the zone. Granted, he did have a unreal slider that should have been strike 3 to end the inning called a ball & ended up walking him. But he threw a lot of pitches while facing 5 batters - GO, BB, K, BB, K. And, yeah, I get he was on stage for a big game so he was tossing 99-100 about every fastball he threw. I'd like to see him pitch 4-5 innings to see what he's doing right & wrong. If he's working on some weaknesses or learning new pitches I wouldn't be concerned with his ERA. I was seriously impressed with his demeanor in the Futures game. He took command from the 1st pitch, didn't get rattled after walking 2 & not getting the K call, pitched well from the stretch & K'd the last batter looking. Nasty slider. Edit: LOL...okay, I have to correct a few things from above...It was the 2-2 sinker that was impressive to Downs. The one the ump called a ball to Torkleson was even better - he froze him with a slider at the knees in the zone. The last batter missed a 99 mph fastball. "Cavalli then walked the Tigers’ Spencer Torkelson (last year’s No. 1 overall pick) before striking out the Red Sox’s Jeter Downs swinging on a 91 mph sinker on a 2-2 pitch. Twice in the at-bat, Downs fouled off 100 mph four-seam fastballs. The Blue Jays’ Austin Martin walked when Cavalli couldn’t control his four-seamer, prompting a mound visit. Cavalli then fanned the Yankees’ Jasson Dominguez for the inning’s final out on a four-seamer that registered at 99 mph." https://www.masnsports.com/nationals-pastime/2021/07/cavalli-flashes-some-heat-in-all-star-futures-game.html Edited July 22, 2021 by EmirOfShmo 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
