Alright, make him work and make him pay boys.

Hit the ball in the air, Jose

Jose against a sinker baller who throws 99 with a guy on first...what could go wrong? 

King of groundballs 

Totally would have been yet another GIDP if not for the wild pitch/passed ball.

Weak

Welp, that totally would have been a double play had Hernandez not advanced on the wild pitch.

A ground ball to SS in that AB was the most inevitable outcome we've seen all season

Eloy, drive in Hernandez, even if it takes half an hour

This guy's breaking stuff is nowhere near the zone. 

Jose working on a 1 WAR year, oof.

More first inning offensive failure. What’s it been, two full weeks?

Pathetic.

Cy Hernandez

Well they did work deeper into counts to start tonight, 23 pitches to 4 batters.

Eloy looking RUSTY.

not sure if the top of our order is more anemic or impotent

He’s had one or two good swings since he’s returned.  Swing isn’t very compact.

You just gotta wait Hernandez out. Either he'll walk you or you'll run him out of the game by the 4th inning on pitch count. 

Has mlb.tv sucked for anyone else lately? I get a “network error” damn near every commercial break

Nice changeup

At least Gio seems to have his good change-up tonight

Not even trying to frame a strike
