Yoan has tatoo'd the ball in his last 2 ABs and has nothing to show for it.

It helps that he throws 99

I knew we'd be screwed when I saw the Indians losing 4-0 in the first haha

Royals got 2 runs with 2 outs and nobody on. I bet we'd have trouble scoring 2 with the bases loaded and nobody out against Hernandez.

I guess Lucas was due for a shitty start. He was really good in July.

This feels like a 6-0 lead right now.

It was 50/50 there. We called nothing but change ups and fastballs that AB I think. No sliders.

Does TA get that if Yoan doesn't tip it?

Pitch selection has definitely been an issue this game so far.

He was looking for the change up.

Much better velocity this inning from Lucas.

Nice changeup

You just gotta wait Hernandez out. Either he'll walk you or you'll run him out of the game by the 4th inning on pitch count.

This guy's breaking stuff is nowhere near the zone.

Welp, that totally would have been a double play had Hernandez not advanced on the wild pitch.

Jose against a sinker baller who throws 99 with a guy on first...what could go wrong?

Cesar had the right idea.

This guy averages 6 walks per 9. I guess TA not popping out on the first pitch like Leury did last week against this guy is a good sign.

Well we haven't gotten caught yet, so whatever they're doing, it's working.

Aside from Lucas pumping 2 fastballs right down the middle, what is Collins calling back there? Why are you throwing back to back fastballs to Merrifield and Perez, especially Perez?

Lucas not paying attention cost us a run.

I don't understand the pitch selection so far at all. Lucas doesn't have a lively fastball tonight and we keep calling it.

Mediocre fastball so far from Lucas.

It might be even before that. They play each other this weekend.

I think the fact that he looked his best in the 6th by throwing just 1 fastball speaks to how good his stuff really is. If he figures out his fastball control, he's gonna look like Gerrit Cole out there.
