Man, Dylan mowing them down here. Glad he got the 6th inning, he looks crisp here. That curve is an equalizer.

jesus we have a ridiculous staff.

Filthy. 

Cease!

Cease has great stuff. Just needs to learn how to pitch. We forget how little experience he has. 

What a 6th by Cease

K’s the side 

Wowza.  And most people on this board say he is a 5th starter hahaha.  The crazy part is - he has taken a huge step forward this year, but he is still nowhere near what his peak could look like if he harnessed all his talent.  Fantastic start and hell of a 6th inning. That was just nasty. 

So, uh, obviously the correct decision was leaving Cease out there for the 6th.

You can't pitch a better inning than that. Pure filth on all of his pitches.

Maybe it was ok to send him back out ?

LoL they should send Cease back out for the 7th

I'm guessing Crochet for the 7th, Kimbrel for the 8th, and Liam for the 9th? I think the smartest thing to do is to make sure Liam doesn't face Salvador Perez again. 

I love it.

Now lets Bummer/Tepera - Kimbrel - Hendriks this

 

Even better, lets score some runs and Foster this

Every time he allows a run there's a mini meltdown

Suffice to say Keuchel is the 5th starter, by a long shot, on this team. I'd rather he be the 6th starter, on a 5 starter team

heck of a night for Dylan. That type of spin rate changes everything about him and the playoffs if he can sustain it. we will see. 

Kopech warming I guess

 

love something as much as jose loves pulling outside pitches to the left side

 

hopefully we avoid it this time

Cease great tonight. Bubic not bad himself. 

Can Abreu hit a ball hard in the air please? He should tee off on a mediocre lefty like Bubic especially seeing him for a 3rd time.

Cease will probably eclipse Giolito in WAR tonight, despite throwing less innings. 

Kopech warming

Cease is up to 16th in fWAR. Rodon 7th, Lynn 11th, Gio 19th. What an unbelievably great staff.

I really don’t care what Eloy does at that plate the next couple of weeks, just glad he’s getting ABs
