I’m not saying I want Miz to need TJS at all but it’s crazy how this dude throws 102+ MPH consistently and no issues while our most promising pitchers:

Steele hasn’t pitched in almost 2 seasons due to TJS

Horton is out all this year and part of next year with his second TJS

Brown has a mysterious neck injury that has taken him out 70% of the last 2 years 

Not fair I tell ya

[Soul]

Tip: with 2 strikes he’s going to throw gas above the zone.  Don’t swing.

They probably have another Miz coming up through the ranks too.  100+ MPH continues to be more common.

Ok, I keep hearing that a relief pitcher HAS to be able to pitch back to back days to be useful and I'm getting a little tired of that narrative.

There are 8+ guys in a bullpen.  Is it really that critical that every single guy has to be able to pitch back to back?  I understand that ideally everyone in the pen is available everyday, but that seems to be oversimplifying things a bit.  I think you can afford to carry a reliever that can't pitch back to back if they can be a productive pitcher once every 2-3 days.

Having 8 guys in the pen, unless theyre a closer or setup guy, there shouldn't be a need to having to go with a guy back to back often. 

Of course unless you have a rotation that cant go 6 innings consistent enough 

[Soul]

Some guys just shouldn’t be trying to sport the stache.

think the catcher was throwing the ball back to mis as Amaya was swinging on those last two

That seemed like a terrible jump and a perfect pitch to get him there too 

[Soul]

Why did they change the plate approach to free swinging?  Makes no sense.

[JBears79]

Here comes the typical 5th inning implosion

[Geographyhater8888]

Challenge that you idiot. horsefeathers Cheerio too.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

horrible non-challenge. What exactly do you do here, Amaya?

[chibears55]

Why didn't they challenge that 🤦

[UMFan83]

Perfect, need 4.2 IP from the pen tonight meanwhile Mis might be able to go 2 more.

I’m guessing he maybe wasn’t going as much to avoid making an out while Seiya was on a good power run, but he pretty much makes it easily every time. always annoyed me when he’d get on and not go. 
 

oh cool amaya sucks at hitting AND challenges.

[Papa Cub]

Is this when horsefeathers hits the fan? 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

oh boy, I'm sure Trent Thornton will get us out of this. lmao
