Don’t recall seeing Brendon Davis in CF before.  Am I remembering wrong or is this his first start there?

There was some debate when they drafted Kerry as to whether he would pitch out of the rotation or in relief, because he can do either. 

Looks like little has changed. He has the stamina to be a starter but lacked an effective third pitch, which if your fastball isn't mid-90's like Ervin's was (another two-pitch pitcher, who later developed a wicked two-seam to act as a third pitch) limits you as a pitcher. 

I'd say Kerry profiles similar to Nick Tropeano. Good fastball-change combo. Never developed the breaking ball like I thought he would.  Swing starter.

And that makes Jaime Barria's development all the more perplexing. Three workable pitches, decent control, clean mechanics, good stamina. His issue may be between the ears, or in that none of house three or four pitches profile as better than average offerings. 

I presume you're referring to Tropeano being the fastball-change guy.  

Kerry's third pitch (the changeup) didn't look bad to me.  I was a bit surprised he didn't get any offers at it.  Maybe something in his delivery made it obvious.  Hopefully they can clean that up.  He doesn't have much of a ceiling but I think he's squarely on the depth chart as a guy that could make the jump pretty easily considering his command.

They have played him in the corners never in CF.  Rangers had him play the bulk of his innings in the corners in 2019 too.

He played in the first two games and they have a double header today.  Probably gets game 2

Looking forward to when I can go to 66ers game. Maybe in a couple weeks.

I sure hope Thaiss improves enough that he pushes Suzuki into retirement.

Which of our 2021 draft pick pitchers do you guys think will be the first to go up to Salt Lake?

I'll say Luke Murphy.

Dark horse: Eric Torres.

That change up may be the filthiest thing I've seen in two days.

It's like a sinker that just keeps sinking.

I wonder if they see him as a relief pitcher or if they’ll stretch him out.

I also liked that Erla moved the ball around.   Up in the zone, down in the zone, etc.   Some giddyap on the high heat

So Erla is 24 and will be 25 by the end of the season.  So he kinda has to be on fast track, right?  His stuff looked really good in that clip.  Fastball had some life and that change is just dumb.
