The catcher didn’t even look like he tried to catch that pitch to Conforto.

Are we talking about the same Milner? 

Last ten appearances: 8 IP, 4 Ks, 3 BBs, 7.88 ERA/6.83 FIP

For the season: 35.2 IP, 4.5 K/9, 2.2 BB/9, 3.53 ERA/4.54 FIP

I gotta check the numbers from now on instead of just leaning on the eye test.  lol.  I remember he was pitching fairly well but I guess I was wrong.

This game is going to take 70 minutes

Let's go offense,  dont waste Gausman pitching today.

I want to go to the bathroom but I might miss a few innings.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Quite a pitchers duel so far. Both pitchers look filthy.

[profisme]

PCA just missed one his first time up. Hopefully he tags one

[squally1313]

Second game all season with both teams going 9 up 9 down to start is crazy to me.

Hoby had 1 terrible outing against the Giants where he gave up 6 runs, other than that hes been pretty good.

[chibears55]

Seems like Crow been taking alot of breaking balls for strike 3 lately

Eh. Realized I included that game in my 'last 10' stat which looks punitive. Not the intention. But also in the last 9 appearances, he has a 1.17 ERA and a 4.99 FIP (4 Ks, 3 BBs in 7.2). 

You can't be a good pitcher with a K rate below 5. It's just not sustainable 

[JHBulls]

That WAR leaderboard is wild. If PCA doesn’t win the MVP from here, he will have gone on a significant 6 week slump

He looks like hes pressing right now but that curve is nasty

[profisme]

Wear it Seiya

[squally1313]

Oh this was the guy who had that whole thing with Contreras a couple months back. Yeah, it'd be especially great to start knocking him around here. 

[profisme]

Busch has been pressing more than PCA lately and making pretty weak contact 

[UMFan83]

Damn no baserunners for either team through 4 innings? 

edit: I mean 3.5

Why did Happ take that ball?! He was going away from the play and PCA has a stronger arm. Dumb.

[PeanutPunch33]

I'll take it

[JHBulls]

Are they trying to finish this game inside 90 minutes? 

[profisme]

Wow. Two pitches that shaved the zone against Bregman.

[JBears79]

Cavalli looks really good.
