Feels like it’s never been good in the majors 

Eovaldi’s fastball is the envy of baseball.  He’s usually behind only deGrom, Severino and maybe Thor in average velocity.

Game talk aside what is all the bullshit personal attacks going on here lately? It seems people can't have different views from the rest. Most of them the normal complainers on this board. I get it, we want the team to win after all these years of suck, but personal attacks are weak and total bullshit

Is there a way to see live in game spin rates? I wonder if his fb is not just slower but also having 100 RPM or so less than usual the way they are making contact with it. 

They're not hitting his FB.  They're hitting his changeup.

Jake Lamb needs to go after this game.  He has 0 value.

Guy has no business being on an ML roster outside of the orioles or tigers maybe yet TLR loves his "winner" attitude

Jake Lamb stares at the second pitch right down the middle then strikes out on a spiked breaking ball. That shit drives me insane

The diminished velocity is quite concerning 

We don't have a ton of data on it (He has only pitched in April one other time since his velocity jump) but his average velocity this April is in line with what it was that year too

Decided to take a break from work to check the score...ouch...see you guys tomorrow for the Cleveland game.

Giolito's spin rate is actually UP this year from years past. 

I'm surprised they square it up at 2500 RPM for the FB so well even at 93.

Lamb is gone when Engel is back

LMFAO

Yikes

YIKES

Good stuff

Why on earth is giolito still out there. He doesn’t have it today, get him out 

He put him back out there to take even more of a beating.  

Don't leave him out there.

Vaughn should play rest of the game for Leury. Let him get more reps in a game you likely use. Also wouldn’t mind an early replacement of Collins for Abreu.

Can't take Leury out now. He needs to pitch later.

What the hell was that thing that caught the ball

Nope it will be Vaughn

As soon as I saw Merk's tweet this morning about how lucas is not a morning person, combined with his recurring problem last year of struggling to get his body stretched out and ready for gametime, made me hope that today's game wouldn't happen like it did.

But, to me it seems just like a schedule loss. But game ain't over, either.

Getting closer and closer...

He’s got absolutely nothing today. Tough to watch.

Maybe Tony remembers Vaughn pitched at Cal and will use him
