What did they do with the real Dylan Cease?

Yoan had been real good with RISP early in the year, but he's been all kinds of terrible recently.

Irvin is the most efficient pitcher in baseball and Cease the least efficient, yet Irvin threw almost 4 times the amount of pitches Cease threw in the first.

The parallels between that first inning and yesterday's are scary.

Probably taking after Irvin couldn't throw a strike against Vaughn. He got a real good fastball on 0-1 and fouled it back.

Even Goodwin put the damn bat on the ball.

This first inning is playing out just like yesterday's. Like almost exactly the same.

Come on Yoan...

Here comes the change up

Yoan with the bases loaded and right handed...hope he can walk.

Irvin only had 25 walks all season. He just gave up 2 walks in 5 batters.

At least it's not with 2 outs.

This game started just like the game yesterday.

Fat Bastard having to take a shit? I've seen that movie before.

He said he's fine for his next start to the press.

Caufield must be in shambles.

lol I know, I'm just saying that nothing's guaranteed.

That and they're choking all their games vs. the easy part of their schedule. Getting swept by the Rockies is embarrassing.

After tonight's win, FanGraphs officially has us at 100% probability for winning the division. Take this with a grain of salt though, because they had the Padres at a 98.4% chance to make the postseason in May and they're now at something like 44%.

This is amazing hahaha We really need to get at least the 2 seed if we want to go far in the playoffs. We play so much better at home than on the road. The last thing we want is having to play the first 2 game of a series in Houston or Yankee Stadium.

Lynn said he was gonna go see the trainer right before the ump threw him out and that something was bothering him. Maybe he's still pitching with that neck injury he was put on the IL for early in the year.

This is why Kimbrel didn't pitch

I'm not sure why teams are even throwing him fastballs, let alone hittable fastballs inside. They absolutely spammed him with sliders and outside fastballs last year and he couldn't handle it in September.

Oakland had a hectic schedule for the remainder of the season. Houston has a very easy one, but they also suck vs. bad teams for no good reason.

Didn't Robert hit close to that in his first 30 or so games?
