Grateful for the win. Hope Fitzpatrick’s injury is not a long one. Curious whether Koenig is ready or if we’ll have to bridge the gap with a righty (McGee, C-Rod, Knehr, Waguespack) until he is.

Then LV, for the first time in MLB history. I can't even imagine what kind of a zoo that will be.

Google was no help trying to understand this one.

With everyone here hitting on sprout, I’ll go on record now and say he ends up being a stud for us. Young with good stuff and hook will pull it out of him

it's unbelievable how soft and whiny people are these days. 

I always assume the mass posters on here do "journalism" for their local high school teams. you know, real insiders to the sport

Or, you could wrap him and his shoulder in bubble wrap and open it in September.

Late September 🙂

Fair confession I went to bed once the Rockies tied it up, I remember looking at the clock going into the 9th inning and at least being thankful that the game was only going to be slightly over 2 hours long. 

[Jimbo]

Man of the Match: Sal Frelick (WPA = +0.50).

First win this season when the win probability was < 10%.  (1-23).

Sorta, but from a non-baseball personal standpoint, he hit the jackpot. He’s now guaranteed MLB service time, pay, and accumulating benefits indefinitely when there was no guarantee he’d be long for here. 

If it happens one day sooner in Nashville, he’s SOL.

Sproat is literally dead last in the majors for ERA after 10+ starts.  He is objectively terrible.  Yes he throws fast and could get better, but he is literally the worst starter in the majors with 10+  starts.

somebody brought up Peralta last night.  Freddy’s worst season with 10+ starts was an ERA of 4.25 and a WHIP of 1.14.

he had a rough season as a reliever in 2019, with a 5.29 ERA and 1.46 WHIP, but he got only 8 starts and mostly came in out of the pen.

sproat is a 6.17 era and a whip of 1.56. As soon as we have a better option, it’s common sense to replace him in the rotation.  Let him be the bullpen long man and pitch in blowouts where his learning curve doesn’t put us in a rough position to win.

i get we are 6-4 in his starts, but that has been primarily as a result of a strong offense.

for those who think Sproat is our next star, what exactly do you seen in his performance that makes you think that? Do you have any data that shows that someone can get rocked for their first 10 starts and then becomes solid?

True but I think he has a chance to be on the team long term.
