the 3-2 ball call to Lowe was insanely bad. 

I meant on us....yea that was the worst of the night that was a K

[Pato del Muerto 52236]

Can anyone explain how “looked like they were going to score” and “thrown out at home” can exist in the same sentence?

[Firemans4Horn 17774]

Garver-Heim is a bunch of low confidence swings right now. 

[Constant 6696]

Need runs in this situation. Lets go. 

[ztejas 43194]

2-1 count Mitch just watches BP go by him.

Ffs dude. 

[Surly Bevo 24686]

#MITCHFAIL

[gofuckyourself 8099]

Dude's missing the strike zone and swing at the first ball.

[Firemans4Horn 17774]

Heim and Taveras might come up to the plate and take a pitch ever couple at bats. Neither are anywhere close right now. 

[ztejas 43194]

Should have added to the lead there. That was shitty. 

[Vic Mackey 46857]

Fucking weak ass ending to that inning. Fuck.

[texastroubadour 1203]

Jonah Heim my lord

[SpiralOut 1808]

Fucks sake.  

[dcar00 14003]

sheesh pathetic.  dude gave up walk off and Heim is swinging at first pitches.

[Firemans4Horn 17774]

The count is 2-1. What exactly was Garver sitting on for pitch 4?

 

[Vic Mackey 46857]

sheesh pathetic.  dude gave up walk off and Heim is swinging at first pitches.

Yep terrible awareness. Castro was all over the place but we went up there swinging and gifted him 2 outs to get out of that

I don’t believe 3 runs will win this game 

[Jewish Wang 111]

I’m so sick of watching Garver and Heim at bats. They are utterly lost. At least Lowe and Leody are fighting through it and occasionally giving us good ABs. 

[Sgt Hulk 13617]

Duck man can’t leave base runners like that 

[dcar00 14003]

I really hope there are some analytics we have that guys like Heim, Taveras, Jung are worse when trying to go deep in the count v. swinging at the first pitch.

[Constant 6696]

5-9 in the lineup are 1-11 so far tonight. God damn it. 
 

2-27 game 2 and game 3 combined.

Aquaman and Marvels.

Alex, what are two more fucking superhero movies that didn't need to be made?

It will. Pitching. 

[Fudbelty 2785]

Makes sense. So onto the bullpen. Who starts Games 4 and 5?  Evo and Monty?  I assume so. 

How about we finish game 3 first. As a fan base we should realize it’s best to focus on the game you’re in.

[gofuckyourself 8099]

J gray missing spots and still gettin' em.

[Redneck Mutha 7888]

dealin

[texastroubadour 1203]

Sit down fat head Eddie Munster

Bill in Sinton would be proud.  hook em high as an eagle soars!

[gofuckyourself 8099]

Keep him in 2 more innings. Shit.

[ztejas 43194]

Fortunately Gray is dealing. 

[Redneck Mutha 7888]

wheelin

[SpiralOut 1808]

Goddamn Gray lookin good.  Fanning these motherfuckers.

[Firemans4Horn 17774]

Catch that shit dude. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15797]

Catch the ball, son. 

[Herbie Hancock 7296]

Goddamn Marcus come on

[DougO 5238]

I knew that hit was coming after they were fluffing Gray so hard.

[Firemans4Horn 17774]

Keep him in. He’s locked in. 

[Redneck Mutha 7888]

WTF?

[dcar00 14003]

good to know AZ has the same analytics.

[gofuckyourself 8099]

Gray for Heisman

[Elmer_Fudd 22033]

Let Gray go another inning, he's locked in.

[Gucci_Suit 2605]

Jon motherfucking Gray

[SpiralOut 1808]

Even Semien fuckups can't stop Gray.  Nice.  Let him keep going, IMO.  

[Redneck Mutha 7888]

Gray good

[AbeFroman 2086]

LETS GO HIT!!

[dcar00 14003]

I mean at 30 pitches no reason to not send him back out.  any way you can avoid using chapman I'm for.

[gsoda3 3214]

getting first half 2022 jon gray back for the WS is a huge plus.

it has been for a while.  and it is for a lot of baseball now.  the zone up was expanded(and in my mind correctly) a few years ago.  6 or 7 years ago tons of these high FB strikes and even curves would be balls.

basically they stopped giving the maddux/smotlz 4 inches off both sides of the plate strike but gave the pitcher the high strike.

I guess what I am getting is I don't see our pitchers doing it that much.

[Redneck Mutha 7888]

Damn thought that had a shot

[Surly Bevo 24686]

Bottom of the lineup needs to unfuck itself.
