Masterson's slider is so good that even when he misses the spot by a bunch, it's still deceptive.

What's so hard about deciding to throw a low and away slider?

Continue your comeback Gordon!

I know Kosuke hasn't put up much for numbers, but he always has quality at bats.

Rios!

Dunn sure saw that slider

At least he stopped it with the 1 hit

Bleh

Yes!!!

Time to earn your paycheck Alejandro!

Execution = good so far

Thought we were having a Lillibridge redux for a second there

Great recovery so far John Danks

I'd like for there to be some way Dunn/Paulie get to bat with runners on more often

It's like they don't know that the way you beat a sinkerballer is going to the opposite field

Great AB...you could just see Paulie seeing the ball better each pitch

Even Paulie looks overmatched. At least Paulie won't throw away the whole at bat just because the first x amount of pitches didn't go his way

I really think Masterson is nasty. He has always underperformed based on his stuff IMO

Danks is back, best contract ever

The curse of the Gooch lives on

I would bat righty against Masterson. I don't know what his splits are but I hate hitting a fastball moving that much away from me

It would be great if Escobar could be an average major leaguer
