QUIT TRYING TO HURT MCCANN

Really nice slider to Alonso

You aren’t allowed to look at his previous four years of statistics.  Too small of a sample size.

true true.. the guy is approaching 30 years old - what am I thinking!

Not a lot of pop on his fastball this inning. Needs a DP

Anyone can do anything they want. It's pretty damn easy to say a player is what he always was, Doesn't take a genius to say that .

Good pitch bad play

Goins playing far too deep to try that. 

Just take the out. Good lord.

Could easily just be a career year.

Edit: having said that, to whoever previously said they would give him a 3 year, $45 mill extension, I'm glad you're not GM lol.

McCann looks completely different in the batters box. 

Him wearing down certainly is a factor  he has played pretty much every day.

Like Abreu and Eloy, they’re pulling off the ball and have next to no plate coverage.

Could be  or not . After a K saying its the real McCann and calling it the truth because he's been bad lately doesn't actually make it the truth. I'd like to have some hope here and not actually judge the guy besides knowing he's a hard worker and hoping it might be a breakthrough.

Do guys get the rookie treatment in the NL or are these umps just so bad ?  I know Moncada's approach left something to be desired last year but seems like him and Eloy get a lot of terrible calls on pitches off the plate. Just seems like we see more instant stars from rookies in the NL but all umps  work in both leagues don't they ?

We have seen umpires struggle repeatedly with the width of the zone. If there was ever a job begging for a robotic upgrade we have found it. 

Trying to pull outside sliders....Steverson has these guys locked in

Not just the width DeGrom got a high strike call on a ball then McCann pretty much had to swing on the next 2 high pitches. Wegner sucks.

After 2017 season would have been fine

That hurts 

Interested to see how James gets hit this inning

deGrom 6 IP 3 H 1 R 1 ER 2 BB 8 SO

Giolito 7 IP 3 H 1 R 1 EE 3 BB 9 SO

Pitchers duel as expected.
