I don't imagine it was a revenge one because he then uncorked a wild pitch like right after.

to move the runner to third after he had stole a second.

You ever been in a position where you had to, like one of your guys got hit and you had to brush someone back or send the message?

I guess the leverage part makes sense, right?

Yeah, yeah, I would imagine so.

Okay, I want to talk about the clubhouse impact of all these injuries, but there was also the Dylan Cease injury to talk about.

So, again, hamstring discomfort.

It sounded like he had a little bit of cramping, tried to pitch through it.

I believe he said it for imaging last night or today, just to make sure we'll get an update pre-game.

But what did you see and what is that like if you kind of cramp up on your lead foot?

Yeah, I mean, it goes without saying how important he is given all the injuries.

Also worth noting that since the start of the 2020 season, he has started more games than anyone in baseball.

Kevin Gosman is number two and Patrick Corbin is number four.

So Jose Brios is number eight.
