Has Priester pitched at all yet? Is he going to be ready?

Am I remembering correctly at all that his post kneecap fracture multi-year funk ended when he got rid of the knee lift??

He has been "set back". Thank goodness they didn't call it a setback. That would be dramatic.

Yes now we can say for certain that Priester had a setback. That was not the case when that comment was made and Woodruff (who that comment was mostly about) has not had any setback so yes the comment was still dramatic.

Quero had 2 errors in the 4th inning but the radio broadcast made it sound like the first error should have been on Leonard and Quero had a strong throw and the 2nd throw wasn't great but Wilken made a poor play on the ball.

Big day for Mitchell…….Bauers also went deep

 

[shanedog19]

Mitchell is such a dynamic player when healthy. He looks like he has put on some weight over the offseason as well. Would love to see what he could do with a full season.

[Ro Mueller]

Hopefully his 2-run homer and 3 innings manning 3rd base are signs that Mike Boeve has found his pre-injury form.

He hadn’t played 3rd base since the August 2024 injury, then saw all of his year-over-year offensive numbers fall after returning to action in May 2025.

Here’s to a big rebound year for Mr. Boeve in 2026!

[markedman5]

Harrison with a 3 up 3 down first inning on 6 pitches that included a strikeout.

[markedman5]

Querro  with a passed ball on strike 3 right down the middle costs Harrison a base runner and next guy up goes deep on a 96 mph fastball.

[markedman5]

So he I’m assuming he’s done…..gave up 2 runs(1 earned) through 3 …….with 8 strikeouts!

[wiguy94]

Koenig only threw 6 pitches but his velo looked much better today than it has all spring

[markedman5]

Ethan Murray with a 3 run jack in the 4th

[markedman5]

He might have gotten it all

 

[markedman5]

Bauers with a homer ……also had a first inning double

Another day another Bauers homer

[wiguy94]

Obviously have to take ST results with a grain of salt, but if you believe Bauers hot streak at the end of the season is a sign of things to come for him, this has been a very, very good start to ST. He's hammering the ball while not whiffing and not striking out.
