This is just embarrassing.

He absolutely has the range to play short. Haven't really seen him have to unload one so I can't speak for his arm. I really don't know why he's still been primarily playing second, especially with Marseco's inability to do anything but weakly ground out on a consistent basis. Maybe not messing with the hot hand?

Lasker was upper 80s with the occasional flash into the low 90s. I was wondering why Fatse ended up playing second. Thanks for posting that!

One can only hope Narveson actually gets a shot at sticking in the rotation before it doesn't matter. He certainly deserves it.

First time poster, long time lurker. I was at the game tonight and you guys have every right to be excited about Lasker. He was very sharp. I was more impressed with his showing than Arnett on Monday afternoon. Heckathorn needs some work on the command, but the velocity was outstanding. One of his warm-ups was clocked at 97 in stadium. Seeing the 90s is rare, let alone the upper 90s. The pitching is going to be fun to watch, that's for sure! The team this year is only going as far as the defense will take them. The offense seems talented enough to perform a bit more consistently than last year, with nice surprises like Romero bombing one out tonight. Honestly, it should've been 8 errors on Monday but i think they got a bit of the benefit of the doubt. Tonight was pretty much another "here we go again" moment and is very discouraging. Seeing them load the bases on three straight errors Monday was...mind boggling. The thing that stands out is that there's a lot of bad hops or bobbles that the infielders seem to try to recover from and end up just firing the ball to the base. That's just creating either more bad hops that the infielders can't play or it just sails. That really needs to be addressed considering there's basically been 12 errors over the last two games. And how about Scooter?
