He's had several starts where he has looked really good in the first two innings only to lose control out of nowhere and let his pitch count rise at an astounding rate. Offense needs to keep capitalizing on Berrios's mistake pitches. They've already missed some these past two scoreless innings.
If Cease barely lasts five innings and they have to turn it to the pen, they most certainly can blow this lead. Especially if the offense decides to take a break after an early four spot. Wouldn't be the first time that has happened.
Semien and Guerrero just missed it lol. Bichette hit it hard as well. Cease looks to be a little shaky with his control(again). I'm kinda concerned. Offense better not slouch the rest of the way.
Gordon needs to stfu seriously he's talking way too much. You don't need to go on long monologues after anything happens. Sometimes less is more. Talk about over analyzing. Time to mute my tv again.
Jose had two big fat hanging sliders belt high up and he couldn't square them up of course. Need to execute on mistake pitches. Getting so tired of on and off again corpseball. Likely going to be another long night.
They need to score in the top of the 11th. It is imperative. The game is likely over if it goes to the bottom half tied. i cannot see Hendriks or anyone else in this bullpen pitching over a runner at second base no outs. This is why this new rule is total trash bs. So stupid.
7-8-9- hitters due up. Goodwin-Hernandez-Zavala to hit in stupid Manfred extras. They need to take the lead here and score as many runs possible because I have very little confidence in the bullpen pithcing with a runner on second.
I have as much faith in Seby here as Collins. More likely a K or potential ground ball double play here. It would be nice if he could come through. I feel it is unlikely.
