    I disagree Pugs. While I think he’s fast enough to leg out enough hits to still be effective, I really want him to learn to hit better. He was not much above a league average hitter at AA last year even with his legs. He needs a whole season of work. This would only be his second full minor league season.

    Walker has to take command on that play and call Donovan off.

    Big out Siani. He can make difficult look routine.

    I hear you Jnevel. That has been my thinking too until just the other day. I think he’s starting to settle in nicely now. We’ll know more very soon.

    Boy is Siani ever nifty with the leather……very tough catch to make….he just saved us from a potentially crushing inning …..just 2-1 Pads heading to the 5th.

    It’s nice to have some great leather on the field. That to me was the biggest debacle last year. It ruined our starting pitchers and put lots of extra innings and stress on the pen ruining them too.

    Third time through the order for Mikolas now. That typically spells trouble.

    Trouble or a quality start…

    Sounds as if the San Diego faithful had a little bit of the Wave going on…..talk about Lame with a capital “L”! I once told my ex-wifey at a Brewer game, in the midst of a Wave, to shoot me right between the eyes if I ever were to participate in a Wave.

    Made Miles work. Should have had strike 3 looking there, but gets the fly out to end the inning.

    Time to start roughing up Mr. Darvish. He’s had several pitches tonight that were just waiting to get whacked.

    Nice PA from Donovan to draw the BB. Have to make Darvish work a little harder than 58 pitches through 6.

    Goldy still hasn’t shook his exhibition play hitting funk.

    Contreras ramrods a 2 run jack to center…..3-2 Birds.

    Hey, Bling called Contreras to the 3spot this morning. Nailed it.

    I was thinking as Contreras came to bat that only 4 of our guys look competitive as hitters tonight – Donnie, Arenado, Winn, and Contreras. Way to go Wilson.

    Didn’t take long for Oli’s move of Contreras to the #3 hole to start paying dividends. Oh oh, pitching coach out to visit Darvish……don’t take him out!

    Contreras trying to atone for being the cause of the Cardinal pitching collapse in ’23…

    Burleson forgot to grab his pitching wedge for that swinging strikeout.

    Did Bling just pre-endorse a wonk decision, or Oli lineup decision?

    Mikolas gets to face 3 guys this inning who are 4 for 6 with 3 doubles against him tonight.
