People here sleeping on Lynch. Kid is pretty good. Even has the minor league track record to back it up. But hey lets let his 25 professional innings to start be the indicator of the pitcher he is.

Sure, the first time out it actually was his big league debut, he was visibly nervous and rattled, didn't have any idea what to do besides throwing as hard as he could (97-99) when he started to get hit around and couldn't locate his secondary pitches, either.   He definitely made some progress in the the minors this past summer.

Between the Tigers and the Royals and Indians...the pitching it going to continue to improve in the division, unless CLE trades Bieber/Plesac and does another rebuild. Betting money is they give it one more final go with Bieber and Ramirez next season.

The Dallas hate tonight is insane. He gave  up 1 hit on a great pitch and another on a defensive miscues. He easily could have a no hitter going right now.

Seby bunt time

I remember I was pretty pissed that we only got one run off Griffin Jax...well he's shutting out the Astros through 5 today. 

For the love of god score a run

Just don't hit into a DP, Zavala...lets try to get this line-up going the third time through.

Uh...if you're going to bunt, the pitch down the middle is a pretty good one to try on, Seby.

He's also walked a couple really bad hitters. He's not been as bad as many have said, but this isn't exactly a gem either.

In a 7 inning game...sure.

I think Seby has the highest OPS in the lineup right now and we're asking him to bunt haha. 

Sac bunting in the 5th inning trailing by one. Truly amazing 

Womp womp, surprise, can't get it done!

Leadoff hit then everything goes to shit

This might be the first time I've seen Seby look bad trying to bunt. 

An overlooked issue with bunting is the assumption that guys will actually get it down

0-2 bunt? Come on

WTF????

Are you serious right now?

Omg what the hell.  These catchers are so bad

Because a pitcher is batting. 

This is getting hard to watch.

Team is just so annoying right now 

That was certainly a stubborn choice by TLR

Is larussa fucking s4erious?

Pretty sure Seby just found some fools gold. He's not good.

 

Then again, we shouldn't be depending on him, the next three dudes are who need to show up

Terrible
