it cannot possibly get worse, can it? what a clown show.

that's really why i don't like jason, he just described a biting curve ball as "swaying in the breeze". lolwut?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 09:10 PM) Giolito absolutely getting killed by bad defense and 50/50 calls behind him...that's at least 4-5 ER's that he shouldn't have on his record. he has 6 strikeouts in 12 innings. that's not going to work even with the 2016 Cubs defense behind him.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 09:05 PM) There was a lot of doom and gloom about his velocity in Charlotte early last season, but no we don't have hard measurements. I don't know how you could look at that and not be really concerned about it. It's not 100% evidence of something that can't be flukey, but it's certainly much more probable than not that his "true" velocity irrespective of time of season/weather is on a downward trend. the velocity drop wouldn't be too concerning if he had a nasty curve and good changeup but FFS where is all this "stuff" he was supposed to have? I gotta say that Parkman thread comparing his stuff to Floyd's looks absolute bonkers wrong right now. As I said, he looks like James Shields.

meatball. I could have laced that one out there.

89 mph, yikes.

The entire team needs to get absolutely s*** faced after this game and do not even worry about tmr. If they have to play hungover it might be the best thing possible. I am 100% serious right now.

nice throw...

how do you over turn that?

nice tag TA.

this sucks.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 08:50 PM) Engel should never be playing in a game fixed it.

lmao engel. wow.

Nice play TA. If you switched his jersey with Shields' -- could you tell the difference? If I'm being honest not much separates them stuff wise right now. Ugh.

Gio looks like s***.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 08:43 PM) Pittsburgh is an absolutely awesome park. It's location, proximity to the Ohio River, the city as a backdrop is dead set one of the finest baseball experiences I've encountered. on TV it looks absolutely stunning. before my dad passed he went to a game there and raved about it as well.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 08:40 PM) Has Benetti never been to Pittsburgh, Seattle, Milwaukee or Boston? Those 4 parks, for my money, are the best in baseball (I?€™ve never been to this park) not sure. I've been to about half the parks in MLB but only safeco out of those . of the one's I've been to camden, safeco and AT&T are my favs. least favs are probably comerica and rogers centre.

never been there but on TV this park looks generic AF with mediocre sight lines.

great job by yolmer staying back on that hook that didn't really do much.

fastball right down broadway popped up. what a poop start.

jesus, that was a chris sale slider, wow.

this team swings through an insane amount of piped fastballs. at any velocity.

90-91 for Gio, so much for the improved velocity. sigh.

that is a sick cuban links platinum and gold necklace berrios has.

avi garcia is an earth worms worst enemy.
