Re: 2024 Baseball Mega Thread
Agree on Steensma. He was sitting 94-95 as a closer… now 90-91 as a starter, which is fine, but I think he’s there because we lack the starting arms. It’s early, he could ramp up soon with velo as he gets extended as a starter. But, it’s not a good sign when 2 bullpen/closer guys are the starters next year.Appmountaineers19 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 5:38 pmI'm gonna take my own advice and just wait till the non-conf. schedule is done before making judgments.

Re: 2024 Baseball Mega Thread
That would have been a fun 10 run rule walkoff with bases juiced. Oh well, more baseball!

Re: 2024 Baseball Mega Thread
Great all around win. Everyone stepped up at the plate and the arms settled down after the grand slam. Walks are still an issue, but we aren’t giving up many hits which is good. Time will tell, just keep fighting on the mound.

Re: 2024 Baseball Mega Thread
Excellent bounce back day for Steensma! Not so worried about him if he can get some stamina he will be fine. Score some more runs and let’s close this one out!Appmountaineers19 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 5:38 pmI'm gonna take my own advice and just wait till the non-conf. schedule is done before making judgments.

Re: 2024 Baseball Mega Thread
Good win. 5 walks in the 9th was tough for a pretty decent pitching day. Series win!

Re: 2024 Baseball Mega Thread
Is there any update on Brooks hip? We need him bad out of the pen to close games. If Steensma is going to start, we need Brooks to save it. Harris was great, Lewis saved it but got wild.

Re: 2024 Baseball Mega Thread
Gameday, get the sweep.
Down 2-0 but Boyd Bash to lead off B1. Chirico will settle in soon as he’s also getting used to switching from middle reliever to Sunday starter. Get the bats going, will be another high scoring affair!

Not that I’ve seen. Really wanted to see us on tv at our first “Home” series. Radio and stats is all I can find right now.

Is that 3 or 4 HR’s for Boyd already this year?

Re: 2024 Baseball Mega Thread
Good day for Chirico as he settled in. 5 innings, 6 hits 2 earned runs, 9ks.
Bats have to pick him up now. Had 2 on no out in the 4th and didn’t get a run across. Down 3-2 in 5th.
