God damn it...

It's like nobody watched him hit while he was on the Sox.

Just get Hensley out. Don't let him get on and bring the tying run up. Cause Yordan would probably end up pinch hitting in that situation.

What a catch by Luis!

Big strikeout.

Better get somebody up in the pen in case this goes way south.

We finally get the run support but now the closer is iffy...this team.

Lopez not looking so sharp so far.

They left a ton of runs out on the bases this series. There's still a lot of worrying trends with how impatient they are, but they've hit the ball hard and with power. Just not always when it mattered. The starting pitching has also been surprisingly good.

Make this a laugher so we can save Lopez.

Yoan!

Eloy has either been really good or useless so far this year. Two 0 for 5s out of 4 games.

It'd be nice to get a few more insurance runs so we can save Lopez for the home opener.

Of course Graveman can't have a clean inning.

First strikeout of the year for Graveman

With any luck he won't have to face Maldonado this inning...cause we all know he ain't getting him out.

Tim's double is a homer in a lot of parks.

I think it's that when he screws up, it's super annoying cause he either ends up walking a guy he's supposed to get out (left on left situation), throws a wild pitch (see Thursday), or when he gives up a hit, it's some soft hit grounder. He's a guy that when he does get beat, it's in the most preventable and aggravating ways.

Probably. Assuming Graveman doesn't f*** it up again.

He used to throw a lot more strikes. Then he just lost the ability to throw his sinker for strikes. I think the change to the slider heavy approach he has now actually hurt him as a reliever. Sure he gets gaudy strikeout numbers, but he's also way less consistent with his command.

Maton is this offense's kryptonite.

Of course they gotta give up a run on a wild pitch before striking the guy out...

Welp they flipped the lineup over and we couldn't get Maldonado out again...

Santos throws hard but has piss poor control.

No reason this game shouldn't be 5-0...now you gotta depend on this leaky bullpen to hold a 3 run lead.
