Sorry, guys and gals. Short posts are about all I have time for these days. But I wanted to touch on Bryan Mitchell and his quiet dominance thus far in Spring Training. Mitchell followed Ivan Nova in yesterday’s game, the second straight time he’s done that after getting the start in his first 2 ST appearances. He was very effective, throwing 2.2 perfect innings with 2 strikeouts, and this comes after he pitched 3 scoreless innings with 1 hit and 1 K last Tuesday.
Mitchell has thrown 10.2 innings across 4 appearances so far this spring with only 1 earned run against him and 7 strikeouts.
