    Cody Thomas 3 HR's. Starling was 1 - 4. Gavin Lux heating up finally.

    - Verdugo is in the midst of a slump since the team traded his best friend 1-14 3 K's. There has been more talk lately that scouts feel he is going to be the real deal, but that the power may never come.
    - Rios is starting to look better after a slow start in AAA. OPS up to .832.
    - Buehler last start was the 31st, not on schedule through at least the 7th. Wonder if we are looking at the transition to the pen on the horizon as he is at 75.1 ip on the season.
    - Mitchell White is off to a solid AA start.

    Yadier Alvarez pitched very well today but only pitched 4 innings due to a pitch count of 79. 4 innings, 3 hits, 1 earned, 2 walks and 8 K's. Jacob Scavuzzo with his 16th.

    Guess I was right, Buehler is set for 2 innings out of the pen tonight. The transition begins...

    To say the least. He usually rights the ship so hopefully this doesn't deter them from using him in that role again.

    Since when did LoCastro get called up? He snuck in there on me lol. A-Gon 1 - 1 with 2 RBI hitting .500 :D Rob Segedin 2 - 4

    yeah but like you said its the beginning of a transition
    gonna take a couple of outings to figure out tempo, warming up [quickly], pacing himself, etc
    didn't he have a poor start to begin his career too?
    wouldn't worry, the stuff is there

    We have high hopes for Verdugo but he may be like a Josh Reddick type or possibly a JD Drew.

    Man, Reddick was an awful Dodger. Seemed like the only time he got a hit was when we were up 10+

    That is why I gave you a floor and a ceiling.
    And Reddick is putting up his regular good numbers vs righties now. Actually hitting lefties really well too, just not for power but for high average and OBP.
    Verdugo may be a high average/OBP guy with good defense and arm but only power against the types of pitchers he can take advantage of.

    The fans in that corner of the field gave him hell everygame because they knew he was not here for the duration but just there to make the rest of the fanbase miss Puig.

    Buehler threw again last night out of the pen. He went two innings, gave up 1 hit, 2 BB and K'd 1. I think I saw that he was hit hard, just right at folks. Will probably take some time for him to adjust. No word on his velocity

    Good shit. Few thoughts:

    I wonder if Oaks will get some call up action next year. Our starting pitching depth is obviously crazy but maybe as a Ross Stripling/Brock Stewart role of bouncing around between spot starts, bullpen, and triple a. I'm incredibly excited at the idea of Verdugo and Puig in the same outfield. Have some hope that the catching tandem of the future is Will Smith+Ruiz, but obviously a long ways to go for that.
