Got a work convention in Denver April 3-5 but the Rockies are playing during the day Friday, April 3 — probably the only day I could go
And Tatis is in town

No I own a residential cleaning service.
As soon as it was announced denver was the location, I ran to the Rockies schedule
It seems like a terrific park to visit. I think Roll went there last season?

I went a couple years ago. Fun park for sure. Any chance you could get out there early for the game? April in Denver is very hit or miss. I've seen 70's and sunshine and I've seen tons of snow.

I could get out there early for the Sunday game.
But that’s like a 3 pm start central time, and if I stayed for the entire game, I’d be dragging arse Monday at work back in BR
Friday night is my best opportunity to get away from convention obligations, and of course the Rockies have a day game for their home opener.

Ron do you need a future elite closer?

6 RELIEF PITCHERS WITH ELITE CLOSER UPSIDE
quote:
Andres Munoz, San Diego Padres
Arsenal: 4S Fastball (99.9 mph), Slider (86.3 mph)
Andres Munoz is a pitcher I’ve been very high on for quite some time now. A Mexican native, Munoz signed with the Padres during the 2015 international period and made his professional debut the following season in the Arizona League. The results weren’t anything to write home about, but his 11.9 K/9 was something to hang his cap on. It only got better from there including a minuscule 0.73 ERA across 25 appearances in 2018.
Munoz has excelled out of the bullpen due to his electric fastball and improving slider that now is a weapon for him. Thrown in the upper 80’s, the pitch has late break as it approaches home plate and regularly induces whiffs or weak contact. After his promotion to San Diego last July, only two of the 16 hits he allowed came on the slider. The numbers were even more impressive as Munoz’s slider registered a .065 AVG, .076 xBA, .097 SLG, .099 xSLG, .139 wOBA, 51.4 K%, and 46.3 whiff%. It’s a small sample size, but shows how lethal his slider can be.
quote:
James Karinchak, Cleveland Indians
Arsenal: 4S Fastball (97.1 mph), Curveball (84.6 mph)
Well, this got a little more cloudy for James Karinchak. Before the Indians acquired Emmanuel Clase in the Corey Kluber trade, Karinchak was the arm I had penciled in as the closer of the future for this franchise. If crazy elite strikeout rates give you all the tingles, you’re going to absolutely love Karinchak.
A 2017 9th rounder out of Bryant University in Rhode Island, Karinchak began his professional career with a 12.0 K/9 across six starts and four relief appearances. Then after moving to the bullpen full-time in 2018, that K/9 jumped to an even more impressive 15.0. That was just the beginning too as Karinchak posted a ridiculous 22.0 K/9 in 30.1 innings before his promotion to Cleveland. And between the minors and Cleveland last season, Karinchak struck out 55.8% of the batters he faced.
Karinchak has been able to do this damage with a lethal fastball/curveball combination. While his fastball sits in the upper-90’s with run, Karinchak’s curveball is his most impressive offering in my opinion. Thrown in the mid-80’s with big downward break, it has been a dominating pitch for Karinchak throughout his minor league career
quote:.
Kevin Ginkel, Arizona Diamondbacks
Arsenal: 4S Fastball (93.5 mph), Slider (83.6 mph)
Speaking of really good sliders, Kevin Ginkel has an impressive one as well
Today's #TheFastPitch features a small but incredibly impressive sample size (178 thrown).
Kevin Ginkel’s - @ginks_sd - SL:
.135 wOBA
.186 xwOBA
21.4% SwSt
41.4% O-Swing
Try these numbers on for size, in addition to the ones Alex mentions in his tweet.
.075 BAA
.075 SLG
44.4 K%
44.9 Whiff%
Any way you slice it, Ginkel had one of the best sliders in the game last season. It was a major reason for his dominating Major League debut in 2019 with a 1.48 ERA in 24.1 IP. That was with an average fastball according to Fangraphs as well. If the slider remains lethal and Ginkel improves the overall effectiveness of his fastball, he has the chance to become one of the best relievers in the National League in 2020. Watch out

not at your prices

Sounds like that writer believes Clase to be the closer in Cleveland 
Posted on 1/20/20 at 12:48 pm to MrWiseGuy
Ive been wondering how Clase doesnt have a better K rate with 100 mph and elite spin. Lack of secondary? something isnt right here
Posted on 1/20/20 at 12:52 pm to GynoSandberg
I imagine just being young and learning how to utilize his cutter better.
He pitched across three levels last year as a 21 year old.

he's one of the 6 on the list btw
needs that secondary to up the swing and miss i think. the cutter plays
