From Phil:

> HECTOR NERIS:
> FB: 89-91
> SPLIT: 78-82
> COMMENT: Worked a shutout 7th inning and surrendered two
singles, got an F-7 FO for the first out, then struck out two
(both swinging, both on a SPLIT).... all three of the balls put
into play were hit hard... threw 18 pitches (15 strikes - three
swing & miss, all on a SPLIT - four foul balls)... while Cuas is
a "nibbler," Neris is more of a strike-throwing "laborer" with a
mediocre FB who tries to make the batter hit his pitch and then
(hopefully) get a swing & miss with the SPLIT, but he gives up
hard contact when he tries to get ahead of the hitter and/or
misses his spot... I really don't want to see him trying to
protect a lead in the 9th inning (ever)...

My worry about Neris going in was that big velo drop last
season, and he's been around 90 all spring. Definitely a
concern.

If it was Imanaga we'd say it was just Spring Training and he
was working on some things.

Paul Blackburn, Cubs' 1st-round comp pick in 2012, threw 6
no-hit innings.

Steele just took a one hopper off the side of his left knee, and
is leaving the game…walking gingerly…

It is reported as a knee contusion, and Steele posted on twitter
that he is all right. But this is the kind if injury often
can't be evaluated until the next day.

You know better than that, Curt. Poor Mr. Ricketts can't afford
