Promote and extent.


I sense he will be included in a thethe future lineup post before the year is up.

I hope Freeman doesn't start pressing.

Backstrom is now 3-3 and Freeman is rumored to have come down with a terrible case of diarrhea.

Backstrom taken out of the game after the top of the 6th. Can he get to Milwaukee by game time?

Extent!

Wright was announced for Gwinnett and then scratched, so Clouse started tonight.

I think there's a real shot that he's starting tomorrow and is the first pushback for the rotation. He struggled to start, but in the last month or so, his pitches are moving a lot more like they did last year. He might've been a new ball casualty because of him being unorthodox. I don't think it'd make sense to scratch him while he's in a groove and then not use him, so we'll see if this is the case.

Inciarte is 1-2 with two walks so far tonight.

I really do think that Backstrom could end up being the best player from this draft.

Probably worth noting that two of backstrom’s hits were listed as a ground ball to third base and a fly ball to shortstop.

We should all be happy if he's another Andrelton Simmons.

There’s no room on the scorecard for comments.
