6/14 JT vs Harper

Surgery on Garcia's ring finger. Out for two months. Door swings wide open for Ruiz or Camargo.
 
A little off the subject, but has Teheran gotten too thick in the body? I was watching Ervin Santana the other night and it looks like he has slimmed down a bit from his early career and he's getting it up there 93-94 with regularity. Teheran has really filled out and I wonder if he's gotten too muscled and as a result he's lost a tick off his fastball.

not completely out of the realm. flexibility is lost sometimes with muscle gain.
 
My Lord Teheran is maddening. YOU HAD TWO STRIKES AND TWO OUTS. He just consistently makes bad pitches when it matters.
 
Julio has lost another half tick of velo on his FB as the trend of his stuff declining continues, resulting in his K rate going down. He was always a flyball pitcher, and more of those are going out of the park, as evidenced by his increased HR/FB rate. He is probably trying to nibble more to avoid HRs, which has led to his highest BB rate.

Overall, stuff is declining, flyballs are turning into HRs more often due to the smaller home ballpark, and none of that is changing any time soon. He should have been traded during the rebuild after he reestablished that he was healthy from the knee injury.
