Can we do that before the game starts?

Imagine walking Maldonado on 4 pitches

6.29 FIP...yikes.

I don't think this bullpen is all that capable of holding a small lead.

The swing made that look like a routine fly ball off the bat.

This bottom of the lineup has no chance against a decent lefty.

lmao Benetti is gone and they're still doing the Nationwide jingle.

That was definitely foul

Hard to blame Eloy for swinging at that when the ump called it a strike earlier in the AB.

That's been the case for a while. His right handed swing is all contact, very little power. He at least swings hard from the left.

How the hell does Faedo get 6 inches off the corner on both sides of the plate?

It feels like Eloy is late on anything high.

Robert is locked in

If he hustles too hard for a few more triples, I'd give him 2 weeks.

He's a control pitcher without a whole lot of control today. Hopefully today was a case of him not having it as opposed to this being just how he is. It is a bit encouraging that he had nothing and still found a way to work through 5 innings with a lead.

Yeah that's not where you want a sinker.

What the hell happened to Maldonado's framing? He's been around neutral until last season. I don't remember watching him before and thinking he can't catch. Is it just him getting old and losing reaction time?

Taking lessons from Eberflus.

That might have actually been gone if Meadows didn't rob it.

That works I guess

Stay healthy and go back to 2019 form. Maybe if he played like he did in 2021, there would be some trade interest.

With Maldonado up, yes. He's a walking double play.

Grifolball baby!

That's the first walk of the year

It helps that he doesn't swing like a sloth at the plate.
