Umpiring is comically bad now

How slow is Abreu now, good lord

With huge red flags statistically as well. The 2019 offseason should have horror stories written about it.

Congrats to Madrigal. I wonder who chaperoned him on the flight to KC?

I just adore their pitch selection. They don’t mess around with anything but the corners.

Do our righties really not think they’re going to see a breaking pitch off the plate with 2 strikes?

Looks like he’s guessing

Taking strikes, swinging at balls...not gonna work. Robert just swinging at air tonight.

Great job by Giolito!

You had an awesome post about this earlier today. I agree, he has no sense of trying to actually compete. It’s quite disturbing.

Giolito making some bad pitches this inning. He desperately needs to find one more pitch to keep hitters off that change up.

Ha, yeah right

And know how to pitch against our hitters

60 games

That was depressing. This 3-4-5 is not very fun to watch.

Not even close on a lot of these. Get Grandal out of the 4th spot if he’s in one of his slumps.

Abreu missed those sliders by a foot. These righties look clueless

It was a hanger higher than high. I’m fine with him swinging first pitch, just need a better swing than that.

That was not a good at bat for Yoan

Leury horrible base running, lucky as hell

Guys getting just destroyed by that slider off the corner

Nice frame by Giolito on 3-2

Really quality at bat for Grandal, my god. Stop pulling everything

Iassogna has always been one of the worst umps

I think that’s very possible, especially given the weird summer camp routines every pitcher had to deal with.
