Outside of the two back-to-back walks, Wentz did indeed look really good.

Working down and in and away mostly it seemed. When he did miss it wasn’t by much

You can do worse as a long man than Wentz

Owen Murphy just hit 95...

Bomb wasn’t an ideal pitch but nevertheless felt more good hitting than bad pitching.

Wentz might be more intriguing as the #5 versus Elder. he looked better imo.

On his slider. Haha

All other pitches under 96 = no hrs. We starting new trend of no velocity

There are plenty of concerns to be had, but winning sure does make those concerns less shitty lol even in the spring

Especially winning the scrub lineup games with Elder and Wentz and Murphy

Our scrubs are very very good at defense today.

The defense on the infield was pretty electric. Conley’s obviously been with the organization for a while, but I had to look up where Jarvis came from (Tigers in Montero dump).

AAA depth looks like it will be improved this season, as well.

They will both likely begin the year in a 6 man rotation

2 average pitches and 2 useable pitches makes him a legit #5 option. Of course, he's a 2 mph dip from being a AAAA guy, but still quality depth as the 6th or 7th option.

They aren't showing the info on his 2 seamer. Did they just lump it in with his 4 seamer?

Yeah, with the number of starters teams use over the course of a year you can never have too many of these arms stockpiled.

Yup- you need 12 to 14 realistically. Sad, but true.
