Much easier inning for Cease with far less pitches.

Well with this offense we might get No hit today

9 outs

5 groundouts

3 ks

1 flyout

Webb looks great. Slider sinker change. He's throwing strikes and getting weak contact. He's a very good pitcher.

1. How about, I don't know, acquiring some quality left-handed hitters who can neutralize RH sliders

2. How about, I don't know, teaching your RH hitters to recognize and lay off RH sliders and at the very least up the pitch count a little bit.

Two runs in any of these three games may be a tough ask, with the possible exception of a bullpen / AAA starter game for the Giants tomorrow.

I will say again as I have been saying for over a month, how do you not at the very least fire the hitting coach? Nothing is changing as far as the approach at the plate. It is maddening to watch.

The off season was months ago and if teaching guys to lay off sliders was easy there wouldnt be a pitch called the slider.Please don't pretend being a hitter is easy.

Is Cease actually okay?

Trainer came out.  He stretched out in a crouch. 

OK Gavin no pop up, K or GB DP please.

Real smart of them to walk Jose to setup bases loaded.

Thank you Pederson and Gavin !

Finally a team with worse defense than ours.

What a stupid play sheets

Has Gavin Sheets heard of a secondary lead?

Sheets so slow 

I thought catchers weren't allowed to block the plate like that.

That was not up to Sheets most likely. If the coach says go on contact you go.

If he gets too far down the line he's vulnerable to getting picked off on a ball. I don't think too many guys with Sheets speed are going to score on that.
