Manfred screwed so many careers by changing out the juiced balls.

Interesting concept…who else lost all ability right after?

Man his swing looked so nice when he was right.

There is no other player ( 2017 Ashoes Team aside ) that I have heckled more than Yoan Moncada.

Convinced that I once played a part in earning him a day riding the pine earlier this season. 😆

3 ground ball outs so far off this dude, Chase had a great pitch to hit OPPO and took it for strike 2

LETS GO JOSE - ANOTHER QUICK ONE!

I don't think Bregman has been quite the same since. Still a good player, but not MVP level. Yelich too, but that was probably more due to his injuries.

Martin Maldonado

That was unique

He does this every game I’ve seen him pitch

I wish all of baseball would call him Manspread and he would resign in shame. He deserves nothing less.

Welcome back 5 minutes later gents!!

I never left. I definitely got impatient.

Yeah, not good to let Gleyber get on ahead of Dingler and McGonigle.

Double play time. f*** you Digler.

Alright - one more big one here. LETS GO URQUIDY!!

That curve was fucking NASTY!

Urquidy already pitched better after an opener, than Fedde

The boys ain't scared, you shouldn't be either.

HUGE!!!

Nice job to get their 2 best hitters. Probably don't want him to face them once more, so they probably stay with Urquidy for another inning at most.

That’s a stat I’ve never really followed

It's not something I've gotten a ton of value out of tbh. But I know teams put some weight on it or similar methods so there must be some utility there. Just focuses on that one part of pitching, the physical characteristics of the pitches. Once you have lots of results, there are other things you can pay attention to. Can be interesting when it changes (or doesn't) though. FWIW, it is somewhat forgiving Urquidy's slow velo due to the fact he has great rise on the heater and he has good velo/movement differentials.

*cough Davis Martin

Another solid inning, not one ball hit hard

Did Stone Pony just say, “…when you have 17 inches to work with…”?

Urquidy has actually been decent.

I LOVE that he throws strikes.

I hate walks.....

Drake pitching?
