I don't mind a long game if the pace is alright, but the amount of time between pitches is getting crazy.
I agree with that. I thought they issued a warning if it took more than 20 seconds to make your pitch, no?

If someone told you before the season Paulino and Johnson would be as bad as they were, Noesi would be getting starts. Scott Carroll would be getting starts. Sale would be on the DL. Abreu and Eaton would be DLd, would anyone really think this team would be anywhere near .500?
That's what's so amazing really. We're not a contender to begin with. I'm damn proud of this team and Ventura and his staff deserve credit for keeping them afloat. I'll rip Ventura when necessary but I'll also give him his dues.

Perpetual rebuilding sucks. Shields bolts, Ventura's elbow becomes a problem and they are bad another 5 or 6 years
And they gave up Myers

It was Daniel Carbonell

He's getting knocked around because he's injured. Was sitting around 90 before he was pulled. Might have to add him to the TJ epidemic of 2014.
Ya seen that. That happened literally after I posted my comment. Crazy

Kolek is consistently 95-100.
Rodon was down in the low 90's for most of his recent collegiate season, and tops out around 95-96 typically. It's his slider which gets outs, not blowing away hitters with fastball after fastball like Yordano Ventura.
Ventura is getting knocked around by the Astros. He's still young obviously but so far he's not blowing anyone away until he gets his command. But I like him a lot
