Upton K's. Inning over!

[David]

LOL sneaks a fastball by him.

[Brian]

there you go TEDDY!!

[Andy]

We are not worthy!

[Guest]

Nice job, Ted.

How Lilly Got His Groove Back!

[inari]

Haha Upton knew it better than I did. I thought it was outside.

[E.J.]

Nice to see good Lilly back. More runs please.

[Butterscup1679666578]

damn lilly looks good. itd be nice for our 3 big boys to bust out of it here and get us some insurance.

[David]

Would be nice to turn it back around against the best team in baseball (this year).

[Banedon]

Hilarious. 2 AB's, no fastballs, 2 outs for CY. Why EVER throw him a FB?

 

Until he proves that he can hit ANYTHING else, it's pretty crazy to throw him a FB anywhere near the zone. I might try and throw some really high fastballs out of the zone when I'm ahead in the count, but that would be it.

 

Nahhh...if you can get him out consistently without throwing that, why chance it?

[Brian]

I hope this outing means Teddy is back to last years form.

If you HAVE to throw a FB, throw it out of the zone.

This makes 4 straight decent to great starts from TRL, I think he's back.

[erik316wttn]

Lee grounds to SS. PLease start hitting. Thanks.

[Sammy Sofa]

Haren's windup is hypnotizing. Good Lord.

The lack of velocity still concerns me.

 

Why the hell is he throwing 85-86 when he was throwing 90-91 last year?

[OleMissCub]

Handstands after every catch, hahahaha.

[TysonCBulls423]

Soto for cleanup por favor

[Andy]

Haren's windup is hypnotizing. Good Lord.

I don't see how he can pause just like Rich did last year but it wasn't ok for Rich to do.

He hit the 90s a few times in this start. He was mostly working mid-80s.

No more knee jerk reactions, por favor.

Rich was doing it with runners on base.

I don't care what a pitcher's velocity or windup is, just so long as he can get people out and not blow out his shoulder or elbow.
