Doyle completely lost it

Offense has been lackluster all week.

Acuna, Doyle, and Rogers all in a row is awful. And they're not even the last 3 hitters in the lineup.

I saw Atletico was willing to sell Julian Alvarez to Arsenal, but he rejected. Seems like he's only willing to go to Barcelona, but Atletico won't sell to them.

These guys realize they have a challenge left right?

I guess the team just forgot how to hit today. Pretty pathetic showing from the offense.

He was a 2 way player in college.

Probably because he didn't really stand on the rubber and get set until pretty late in the pitch clock. What a weird thing to get worked up about.

Urquidy's peripherals are actually really good: 2.96 FIP and 3.13 xFIP. xERA before today was 3.63. It's probably around 3 now, if not lower. His BABIP was insanely high with the Pirates and he was a bit unlucky. We don't need him to pitch like he did today, but if he can eat innings and keep us in games, that's more than enough.

We did that pitching our 2 bulk relievers and a bullpen running on fumes. I'm really impressed at how we didn't get blown out one of these games.

Urquidy the unsung hero tonight after our starters never went more than 5 innings in the past week. He gave us 6 scoreless when we needed it most.

Man, imagine if we actually had Grant for game 1. We probably win the series.

He kinda just stands there looking like he's confused why he's there until the pitch clock starts winding down.

Yup, if he lets anyone on, bring in Grant. But until then, let him pitch.

What a fucking outing from Urquidy.

Did Civale get fatter?

Braden and Grichuk's hits had xBA below .150. Colson's liner had an xBA of .490. Funny how baseball works.

Colson hit that hard, but right at Suzuki

I'm still not sure how he hits that on the ground, but it worked.

Yes! Atta boy Braden!

Why? That was never getting caught.

Might be too much to ask for him to hit a fly ball, huh?

Damn that took a really good hop for Suzuki. Otherwise, Vargas might have had a chance to score.

TBF, we just had 2 incredible plays in the OF.

Thought Mune beat that live.
