Lutzwaffe!

Or, to roll with the wrestling theme again: Baron Von Lutzke?

Votto singles

[Tadasimha]

Have not seen any video of him but seems like Cave is not that fleet of foot. How close was the play at second?

[Tom Servo]

Finnegan had a 1-2-3 first where he struck out Bryant and Rizzo.

[Raisor]

Finnegan went two innings, allowed 1 hit.

[Tom Servo]

Small sample size, but a cold start to the spring so far for Peraza.

[Tadasimha]

Shane Victorino's Gameday "mug shot" looks like someone drew on his glasses and beard with a marker.

That's a game thread, midseason form, observation. I didn't notice it, but now, that's all I see.

I'm going into my free agent year - best shape of my life

With Bailey and Lamb out and Iggy iffy, Finnegan's got a real shot at securing a rotation spot.

I've thought of him as a reliever, but it'd be really nice to see him have success starting.

[Bourgeois Zee]

So far on this short season, both Lorenzen and Finnegan have looked really solid.

[Hoosier Red]

I've said it before and today's throwing error only confirms my suspicions. Schwarber needs to stay at AAA and get his defense down. I'd say he should have things ironed out by 2028 or so.
