Yes

Overthrowing and not fooling anyone but looks likes he could have good stuff if he gets it down

hitting 94 consistently on our gun

My apologies to whoever I told a while back that he doesn’t throw that hard. Never seen that but also never seen him relieve before .

I think he might settle back down and get better control with a couple of mph less along with some run. Didn't look comfortable to me throwing today. But I think he's got some good stuff.

he looked a little uncomfortable in relief - like Saarloos told him you only have to go one inning, so give it the gas from pitch 1.

He was pretty high in the zone for a lot of his pitches - even his offspeed stuff - but he got some control after the first few batters and a visit from Kirk - then he got the job done.

Gonna be a good one, she's got some pop.

I know this will be a Captain Obvious comment but I'm guessing they used Meador today just to get him in there in a low-pressure situation before he makes a start.

Or to test him in a real game situation instead of an inter squad

I think it was just to get him in the game. He's pitched in some high level games with Team USA.

Well our win in G2 of the series had catastrophic impact on our RPI....falling from a tie at 7th to a tie for 63rd. Gonna need to start losing some ballgames pretty quickly to get back on pace for postseason play apparently.

What Smith looks like today will tell me quite a bit about where this team is headed this year.

Agree. Which is the primary reason I came out today

So I suppose we're not crazy if we get a little more hopeful?

94-95, getting his breaking stuff over the plate in the high 80's and 4 innings of no hit ball before getting a little tired and missing with the HR pitch.

I would say overall that is probably what Schloss was hoping for from Big Russ about 600+ days off the mound.
