Well, game 29 on the year was a hell of a game. That felt like a throwback, too. I had a feeling Morel had a shot at catching up to that fastball.

neris still doesn't have his command/control...
i don't expect it to dog him all season, much like i don't expect alzolay to be a HR machine.
i'll take alzolay over neris to close out a game, though...over leiter, too.
