Ugh 6 of Jeffress' first 7 pitches are balls

[UMFan83]

ouch blown save. Felt that coming, Jeffress hasnt looked good. Edited September 16, 2020 by UMFan83

i blame them for pointing out that he had given up a home yet

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Modern baseball is trash

[Brian]

Jeffress had to many days off

[Bertz]

If Jeffress isn't going to miss bats he needs to throw strikes

 

He clearly has cojones for days, and I appreciate what he did in the first few weeks of the season, but now that the pen isn't a dumpster fire he shouldn't be getting such high leverage duty

[abuck1220]

maybe don’t walk the .570 OPS guy to lead off the 9th?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Don’t walk the lead off hitter dumb horsefeathers.

[Cubswin11]

Damn, just doesn’t have it tonight. Get him out and walk it off.

Or don't get behind in the count 2-0 to each of the first 4 batters you face, walking 2 of them

[abuck1220]

throw strikes dip horsefeathers

[soccer10k]

Get him out of there. He doesn't have it.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Agree but I saw today that even though his K numbers are down he still has decent swing rates and the Ks aren’t matching the swing numbers and some more Ks should come. But yeah, with the rest of the pen looking pretty sharp He shouldn’t have a huge leash here.

Get it to the bottom half tied and it won't get there. We'll walk it off before.

[Brian]

phew, walk this mfer off

[CoolHandLuke]

Did tepera only start throwing after the second walk?

[UMFan83]

Ugh please score here so we don't have to deal with stupid ass extra innings rules.

[Brian]

KB dong incoming, we deserve this

[Cubswin11]

That was an absurd DP turn

[Bertz]

Brad Hand not pitching this inning is ludicrous. Make them pay

[UMFan83]

KB dong incoming, we deserve this

 

I'm not sure KB knows that's a thing you can do anymore.

[Derwood]

Fun fact: Oliver Perez debuted in 2002 and pitched a perfect inning against the Mariners (Ichiro, Cirillo, Boone)
