Wow, what a game to go see. I wish I was in TX on Tuesday.
I’m growing more skeptical about his return.

No runs allowed by LMJ at Constellation Field tonight in the first 3 frames with 2 groundball singles, 1 BB, 5 Ks, 2 flyouts, 2 groundouts.
But the 4th inning got a bit messy: walk, groundout, walk, bloop single off the bat of Nick Tanielu. Removed from the game at that point.
Final line: 3.1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 BB, 5 K. 76 pitches, 43 strikes. Velocity reportedly topped out at 94.9 MPH.
Meanwhile Dallas Keuchel blanked the Space Cowboys thru 4 innings. Removed after facing 2 batters in the 5th. Final line: 4.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 5 K.
Keuchel vs LMJ rematch on Sunday at Constellation Field.

That seems bad.
Sounds like he was lucky it was not much worse
Never seen this before
I’m exactly that athletic.

I believe that’s GM-speak for “he done”…
Put him on the 60-day and sign Marisnick?

If Brantley can’t go might as well get that good glove on board.
We’d have to be sure to hose the FTC/Stem stink off before we let him sit on the furniture though.

The Two Jakes somehow has a familiar ring to it.
On a more serious note, –>IF<– Marisnick is healed from the big toe sprain or soon will be I don’t know why you wouldn’t take a flyer on him.

The Chron reported the other day that his velocity was down significantly in his outing Sunday night so this will be an interesting decision as to whether to activate now or send him back out for at least one more rehab start…
