Kinda early for a position player pitching,  it only the 7th

They just want to save their pen.

What happened to McKinstry this year?  He was Temu Zobrist last year for them with 3.2 WAR.  And yeah, I agree with ya, Boog - this is rough with 3 innings to go.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

this is embarassing even for a position player

[squally1313]

this is pretty crazy with these strike calls. they need to challenge one just to recalibrate the ump

[Derwood]

I'm with Boog, this is stupid having this happen in the 7th

can't challenge when a position player is pitching, found that out recently

[squally1313]

also, if you're going to forfeit like this, throw 60 down the middle of the plate, these are absurd pitches

[chibears55]

Bregman got a hit with risp 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Derwood]

These runs aren't even fun

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

why is he lobbing up 35 mph when he can just throw 60. the horsefeathers is he doing

[mk49]

Hey, Bregman hit with RISP.😁

Just have a run rule like in softball. You're just asking for someone to get hurt now

[mk49]

At least, he was better than Valdez.😁

Cause, it's harder to hit?

[Derwood]

Will Civale get the 3 inning save?

[macarthur31]

Rogers apparently "crossing up" the catcher during garbage time is the perfect tribute to a Framber Valdez start.

PCA's fWAR is 0.1 higher than Shohei at the moment.
