2 hours ago2 hr Very strange outing for Shane. I find the low velocity in the 4th inning to be concerning but maybe he's just not very stretched out to throw 100 pitches yet. He was averaging 96mph in the first, 92 in the fourth. Arsenal in general was quite different from last time out...interesting to see him throw so many curveballs to right-handed hitters.

Trying to figure out if he was holding back for movement, because everything was moving like CRAZY, or if something is up.

Arsenal in general was quite different from last time out...interesting to see him throw so many curveballs to right-handed hitters.I just think he flat out had no control at 96-97, and had to dial it down.Or that 107 to the calf he took, made it a bit painful to drive the leg on the heat.
2 hours ago2 hr Was a pretty good play from Lenyn there, but Newcomb didn't get over quick enough. A lot of lefties struggle to cover that against a decently fast baserunner.
2 hours ago2 hr Smith's 3.2IP, 1H, 0ER, 5BB, 8K line officially a first in MLB Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by Autumn Dreamin

I am sure the cold doesn't help either

2 hours ago2 hr 1 minute ago, southsider2k5 said:He has one challenge left.Ah didnt know that. Still, bases loaded with Alonso up, probably not a bigger situation in the game there. Still worked so whatever.
2 hours ago2 hr Glad they only have 1 challenge left too, because I'm pretty sure Colson struck out on 1-2.And it doesn't matter, he just does it anyways....lost right now.
2 hours ago2 hr To defend Quero, the most ineffective challenger in MLB per Statcast, there was no pitch in the Alonso at bat that he could have won a challenge on.

1 hour ago1 hr Everyone that could have covered second watching him barehand that instead of playing defense
1 hour ago1 hr Very glad that nobody covered second there because Newcomb was ready to initiate a disaster
