The pitch selection today is something that makes me question if Cooper can adjust his philosophy to the new loft era. Have to throw high fastballs in today's era to be effective.

And another 92 mph fastball right down the plate. Send his ass to Charlotte

Massive bust at this point of his career

Oh yay, more mediocre first pitch fastballs down the plate. He's done

Yep can't keep Omar on roster especially given his catching ability.

Pulling off the ball terribly. Doesn't look to have an ounce of confidence at the plate.

Maddon is acting like a total scumbag about the plate issue. He's basically acting like he's right and everyone else, including MLB, is wrong. https://mobile.twitter.com/C_AdamskiTrib/status/1001586631231590406

Yes, Omar wanted outside, Giolito missed down the middle

Something he did well last year is pitch backwards. Slow stuff to get ahead, high fastballs to punch guys out. He has gotten away from that this year.

Shocked that 92 down the plate with no movement gets destroyed

Giolito throws perfect curve and ump screws him

Saw the bottom of the 1st. Giolito just doesn't have big league stuff. Unless he refines his slider and curve, he's never going to be a legit rotation piece

Also I wonder who got pitcher was that threw a tantrum. I'm thinking Bukauskas

Can't help but feel Kelenic might be in play or even Swaggerty. Nick was quick to say it's not just Madrigal or Singer.

Was Moncada fly out deep?

Can't recommend the WS Talk podcast more from today with Hostetler.

And MLB had to apologize today to say the replay official blew the call. Shocking, I know!

He was bad against LHP last year also. He's a .195 career hitter vs LHP with 2 homers in 117 at bats.

Yoan isn't even giving competitive at bats. Give him a day off tomorrow. He really needs to shorten his swing with 2 strikes.

Oh now Ramirez shows range to his right

This is just insane. Have any of these guys played baseball before?

Has to stop taking first pitch strikes down the plate. He's too ineffective of a hitter behind in the count to just let good pitches to hit go.

Omar should be demoted/DFA but there are no other options sadly enough.

Yoan is so lost at the plate. That injury killed his rhythm.

Narvaez is so bad as well
