Take 10 with Tim – May 5, 2023 @ 8 AM ET 1.Miller vs. Miller was must-watch TV as Mason Miller got the best of Bryce Miller. I don’t know how this game fits into baseball history, but both had no-hitters into the sixth. a.Thoughts on Mason Miller b.Thoughts on Bryce Miller 2.Brandon Pfaadt also got the call and looked good early but eventually got beat up by the Rangers. The final line wasn’t good. 4.2 IP, 9 hits, 7 ER, 3K/1BB. What were your thoughts on his outing? 3.Finally, Gavin Stone got his shot…4.0 IP, 8 hits, 4 ER, 1K/2BB. a.Order these pitchers whom you would roster/start?

Both have gotten off to great starts. What about these four rookies who how gotten off to slow starts? What do you think their status should be going forward? Will they stay up in the Majors? Should you start them on your fantasy team? a.Francisco Alvarez (C, NYM) - .209/.227/.302 with one home runs and 14K/1BB in 44 PA. b.Triston Casas (1B, Bos) - .148/.293/.296 with three home runs and 29K/14BB in 98 PA. c.Ezequiel Tovar (SS, Col) - .226/.273/.344 with 1 home run, 0 SB, 31K/5BB in 98 PA. d.Gunnar Henderson (3B, Bal) - .184/.361/.303 with 2 home runs, 1 SB, 30K/20BB in 96 PA 6.The Cardinals might skip Steven Matz or send him to the bullpen.

1.Tanner Bibee got the call and did not disappoint. He pitched 5.2 IP, 6 hits, 1 ER, 8K/0BB for the win. a.What were your thoughts? b.Who do you prefer for the rest of the season? Taj Bradley or Bibee? 2.Were you surprised that Jordan Walker was demoted? He wasn’t lighting the world on fire like Gunnar Henderson is, but still… .274/.321/.397 isn’t bad for a 21-year-old. a.Did they pull the trigger too soon? b.If Walker can go down, can Gunnar Henderson be far behind? c.Were you surprised that the Diamondbacks sent Jake McCarthy down? 3.According to Sporttrac, the Padres have the third-highest payroll in the league. They have good players but are 13-13 and are underperforming. Is this just a slow start, or do you think there is a problem? If so, what? 4.Speaking of the Padres, I have Juan Soto in a Dynasty League, and he’s gotten off to a bad start. Yeah, he’s 24, but when you grab him with a top-10 pick, you expect more than a guy hitting .188. What are your thoughts on what is happening? 5.MacKenzie Gore and Hunter Brown had big outings on Wednesday. Who do you like better for the rest of the season? 6.Give me three players you want to see promoted over the next several weeks. 7.Estuery Ruiz had four stolen bases on Wednesday and has moved up behind Ronald Acuna. a.First, you’re welcome! b.Second, he’s fast, and we expected a lot of stolen bases, but you know who else has 10 is Ji Hwan Bae of the Pittsburgh Juggernaut Pirates. Can he sustain this? 8.Mitch Keller won again yesterday and is now sporting a 3.53 ERA with 40Ks in 35.2 innings. He still walks too many, but are we seeing this guy finally develop into a pitcher you can start with confidence? 9.What one hitter are you picking up this weekend? 10.What pitcher are you picking up this weekend?
