Q is pitching...

 

And just like that, our juggernaut offense is struggling again.

What's our run differential in games Q starts vs. games he doesn't?

Get the sweep. I always knew KC's window would be brief, but I had no idea they would get this bad this fast. Give them credit they won one, but they had 2 crazy comebacks in the playoffs, first in the WC game in 2014, and then vs. Houston in 2015, without, their entire 30 year rebuild would have been for naught.

Does this game look like it will get in?

Today's lineup:

 

1. Tim Anderson ® SS

2. Tyler Saladino ® 2B

3. Melky Cabrera (S) LF

4. Jose Abreu ® 1B

5. Todd Frazier ® 3B

6. Avisail Garcia ® RF

7. Matt Davidson ® DH

8. Geovany Soto ® C

9. Leury Garcia (S) CF

I think Leury Garcia has silently become our starting CF, and Davidson is on his way to doing the same at DH.

Today is the day The Feathered Serpent rises again!

that's like uh, actually a solid lineup.

No doubt, and both have earned it. It's nice to see some of these no longer prospects but still young enough to be around in 2020 guys step up early.

Offense staying hot!

god we have dumb fans.

It went through the fence.

He didn't touch it. The ball bounced in the stands if you are talking about Abreu's double

Frazier warming up.

Frazier and Abreu both seem to be awaking from their April slumbers.

ah I c.

I'm in favor of first inning runs for us.

Frazier warming up.

 

Get that trade value up.

Todd has such strange mechanics. It's like he flys open on his lower half then somehow, when he's grooved, keeps his hands back.

4 K's for Q through two innings. Pretty weak contact. Hopefully he's figured something out.

Let's hope.

I expect him to dominate this horrible KC offense. Was frankly dreading this game because how bad KC is - if they showed life vs him it would make me sad.

He did. Pitching against a team that can't hit helps your stats.

In some of his starts, he seemed to be reverting to old habits (nibbling) and sacrificing some of his strengths (fewer first pitch strikes). He wasn't locating his changeup or slider. It would certainly be sad if this KC lineup hit Quintana, but so far his command has been good and I've liked his aggressiveness. Up to six strikeouts.
