Some really borderline pitches being called strikes for Odorizzi

Odorizzi has the most dominant 92 mile per hour fastball I've ever seen. 

Fucking umps. Quit hosing Moncada. 

That was a really bad inning for the home plate ump.

Right. It looks horrible and difficult to repeat.

A strikeout! Swinging!

This ump is awful. 

Something about Odorizzi has to make these high fastballs so tempting because a lot of these aren't even close to being strikes and they're still swinging at them.

Giolito looks like the guy I saw vs. the Cubs in ST. Lots of weak contact. The strikeouts will come. 

Patience, my young Padowan /yoda

Good game from Gio

Lol... Good thing I didn't skip the game after Gio's first. 

I guess he's improving a good deal - but that first inning can still erupt on him.

Yoan killed an outfielder

He really is Gavin Floyd.

Close to a homer?

Hopefully with better consistency. That may or may not happen, but I think Gio might be that guy. He'll pitch like an ace for stretches, and AAAA fodder for other stretches. Hopefully Gio can keep the AAAA stretches to a smaller amount than Floyd did.

Yoan's got such a pretty, effortless swing. It's hard to tell how hard he hits the ball off the bat. 

Ouch.  I don't think that dude realized how close he was to the wall.

I ran into a tree one time like that.

Yeah that isn't fun. Once I ran into a metal pole full speed while playing basketball because I lost my footing while driving in for a layup. It's such a weird mix of embarrassment, pain, and confusion
