I'm getting preemptively angry if PCA doesn't win the MVP for the NL this year

[We Got The Whole 9]

Tank that K rate

[Dfan25]

Control looked fine there . Nice job 

[muntjack]

I hope they let this guy pitch in the highest leverage spots and keep Palencia in the 9th.

The movement on that sweeper, JFC

[Geographyhater8888]

That looks likes a cutter.

[BKHoo]

Some of those pitches moved!! 
 

Is his name pronounced with a hard or soft J? The announcers don’t know.

On June 23rd he moved on the rubber towards 3rd base. He's walked 4 hitters since then, and just one in his last 11 outings.

That 97 mph sinker in the top of the zone to Call was unfair. Call even looked back at him like “wtf was that sorcery?” Lol

It's a top-10 fastball based on shape. Great offering.

Any chance Assad avoids a DFA tomorrow?  He doesn't deserve it...
