    Draw the throw. I'm kinda with Seiya there, against Yamamoto even with one out, that's a send for me. Granted he can't just assume.
  2. Illiterate Scholar
    Indeed. With how disciplined our lineup has been, I don't hate our chances against Sasaki and Glasnow though. Granted, run prevention might also be an issue.
  3. Illiterate Scholar
    lol at least Brown throws 97. This guy just sucks
  4. Illiterate Scholar
    I love Nico in that 6 hole.
  5. Illiterate Scholar
    Really frustrating walk to Heyward who has absolutely no chance against a pitcher with Brown's stuff.
  6. Illiterate Scholar
    I wasn't expecting Shaw's speed to be in the 90th percentile of MLB. I was picturing his speed to be more on the Nico level.
  7. Illiterate Scholar
    He threw a lot of strikes. I didn't hate that appearance
  8. Illiterate Scholar
    Shaw has a 14.9% BB rate
  9. Illiterate Scholar
    I like to complain about umps but this guy is really good. You can tell he came thru the minors learning the automated zones
  10. Illiterate Scholar
    Build the team out of right fielders
  11. Illiterate Scholar
    I like having Brown in LF. That's 2 singles this inning he should've caught. He looks like a little leaguer just waiting for it to drop before picking it up
  12. Illiterate Scholar
    I love Seiya, man.
  13. Illiterate Scholar
    Tucker is slugging .879. Also good situational hitting!
  14. Illiterate Scholar
    111.7 mph 445 ft. Wowza
  15. Illiterate Scholar
    Haha, PCA is great. That shouldn't even be a close play in that situation
  16. Illiterate Scholar
    Yeah that's been confusing to me too. When we first got him, I was afraid he was Almora like as being known as a great defender without great speed. But now he's essentially the fastest guy in the MLB.
  17. Illiterate Scholar
    Such an unacceptable loss. And I'm sure it won't be the last. Just awful
  18. Illiterate Scholar
    horsefeathers yeah
  19. Illiterate Scholar
    This was probably a pre-planned 2 inning thing. Maybe worth reconsidering after his first inning.
  20. Illiterate Scholar
    Definitely Pena
  21. Illiterate Scholar
    It's baseball and they won the season series against the Dodgers last year, So yeah I had some hope.
  22. Illiterate Scholar
    Dang, didn't play well and some really good pitching by the Dodgers. Hopefully Sasaki is wild tomorrow
  23. Illiterate Scholar
    I had that Hernandez ball landing on the moon off the bat
  24. Illiterate Scholar
    Yeah the biggest hit stuff was a little much. He otherwise seems likeable, but hopefully JD rubs off on him to be a little less of a classic hokey baseball announcer guy. It actually reminds me a bit of why I don't think Pat pairs well with JD when he's always asking, "Well JD, what pitch would you call here?" And JD is always like, "Eh idk, whatever pitch he feels most comfortable throwing."
  25. Illiterate Scholar
    That feels opening day-ish. Yamamoto had major reverse splits last year so Turner over Busch on opening day seems likely. Also it seems like Counsell isn't just gonna ease Shaw in.
