2 hours ago2 hr Taylor hasn't exactly looked untouchable either.Runs have scored against him in what...three or four consecutive games now?

2 hours ago2 hr 2 minutes ago, fathom said:Taylor has closer stuff. He makes too many mistakes.Yeah he hasn't really learned how to pitch yet. If he doesn't have his best stuff, he tends to be pretty hittable.
2 hours ago2 hr I'm trying to prepare myself mentally for seeing Roch post a .700 OPS in Kannapolis in August.
2 hours ago2 hr 1 minute ago, fathom said:Taylor has closer stuff. He makes too many mistakes.That pitch down and away to Watson had too much of the zone for a slappy hitter...has the velo but not much movement.Curve is much better strikeout pitch...or fb above the letters and certainly not down to a lhb.
2 hours ago2 hr Given the larger context, I'm annoyed at the loss but not too bothered. Hard to pull off back to back to back clutch wins.Should've had more runs on the board in regulation but BABIP gave them no breaks (xBA finished at .209 vs. .397...) and they didn't make enough of their own.Still took the series and put some fear into the Guards' all star closer for the remaining 10 in the season, fine.CLE could have DeLauter back for next week, so it would be nice if today was the start of Vargas heating up again and/or Braden making an adjustment. Would also looooove a timeline update for Mune.We play KC next while Cleveland plays a tougher team in Seattle. KC will be down Garcia. Witt Jr is not on the IL, but hasn't played in almost a week.

2 hours ago2 hr I almost forgot about Colson bobbling a ball that should have been a double play. What was that like 3 hours ago?
