Attaboy Jake

[BrazilHorn 6569]

Another great catch in OF. Way to go Jake!!

 

[WBT 20288]

Great catch

[Honeysucklerose 955]

A ton of soft contact from then

[UTexasFight 9306]

Now we just need Hummels to reach up above the wall and take a homer away for the outfield web gem trifecta tonight

He better start running now to get there in time 

[Wulaw Horn 18920]

Jake!

I’ve been told he’s maybe good enough to be a 5th OF. We shouldn’t count his hostels only his cold ones. And the glove work doesn’t count. But the arm does. Totally makes sense. 

Kids pitched really well to have thrown 70 pitches in 3 innings and given up two runs. OT’s of trash contact gone against him. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

 Great play Jake. Yes I’m a hater but can’t deny the play. Mix in a hit or two and I’ll sing your praises all the way to the bar. 10-12 times 

[Overlord 366]

“And then I pitched against the O’Rioles bro. No bro. I did. I pitched 3 and 1/3rd innings and only got lifted because of my pitch count dude. My fucking pitch count, man. Bummer.” 

[UTexasFight 9306]

Hey @tx 3 putt how we ranking bloss’ sister vs looerfido’s!

[billfromlaketravis 11291]

We are cursed. That is all. 

[Mo Horn 8732]

Are you fucking kidding me? We are so fucking snakebit this year

[UTexasFight 9306]

Holy shir 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Wtf. And that was the last they ever saw of Moonlight Graham. 

[Overlord 366]

Hey that’s ok. The dude survived. What he was told to do was fucking insane. But he threw down. At least he left on his own terms. 
 

Good job kiddo. 
 

Hey, can I fuck your sister?

[UTexasFight 9306]

Last fastball was 90.5

Everything else was 93-94

last cutter the pitch before was 3 mph lower than what it had been too

 

edit: actually the last pitch the inning before on the Meyers catch is listed as an 88 mph four-seamer

 

why the hell was he sent back out there?

Edited June 22 by UTexasFight

[runthebone 7894]

Holy shit.  He had an 88mph 4 seamer the previous inning

[Overlord 366]

Hey, we’re letting everybody play tonight!!

Let the bat boy hit for Yordan.

Its just a game. 

[Mo Horn 8732]

The fact that we had to use all those pitchers against the pathetic White Sox tells you all you need to know about this season.

That is disturbing. Not even AA.

Bloss is not very good at giving his catcher a chance at throwing out runners thingy 

Fair.  But, not just tonight.

[WBT 20288]

pointed to the back of his shoulder

[tx 3 putt 75635]

Delay ?

New home plate ump 

[WBT 20288]

That was Bloss.

Don't know what happened to the ump

[UTexasFight 9306]

10 minutes to get an umpire in new gear? When have you ever seen a home plate ump get ready in less than 20, Kalas?

took a ball off his mask 

[UTexasFight 9306]

Dammit.

if this happens at the end of the 3rd, we probably go to the pen and Bloss doesn’t leave with an injury 

[runthebone 7894]

Fuck 2024

If you gotta take a dump anyone in the dugout do it now 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Bloss did a great job against one of the best hitting teams in baseball. Couple more hits from us and he leaves with the lead.

[tx 3 putt 75635]

Bloss will be ready to defend the title in 2026

Espada is a big dummy.

Suprised there aren’t more repetitive motion injuries on high pitch count innings.

[Wulaw Horn 18920]

He got squeezed and 3 of his 6 hits were dinks. Way better than his line and now I assume his career is over the way things have been trending. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4736]

O’s color guy, former ML P Dave Johnson, spoke just yesterday in NY about studies correlating the number of pitches in an inning to arm issues … he said 30 pitches of max effort is the tipping point from muscle fatigue to tissue breakdown.

Johnson seemed surprised Bloss came back out for T4 based on pitch count … including 35 in the third.  Hope he doesn’t have a lasting problem … nice start.

This would seem like useful for our staff to know…

but it also presupposes they know how to count

Great, best new guy we have seen this year and we break him.

[Guadaloopy 10816]

Espada, you’ve lost another pitcher?

[Wulaw Horn 18920]

Loperfiso strikes out so much not because of his swing and miss but because he watches a metric shit ton of pitches right down the middle.

Feels like he is trying to be patient at the wrong, then he gets behind 0-2 and they feed him dirtballs.

He does, but when he doesn't his chances of getting a hit are good.

He and cabbage were hacking.  So was Myers last inning but after that catch he gets a pass.

So far. His babip is ridiculously unsustainable. I like him ok but he’s got to get his K% below 30 if he’s going to stick.

Fucking more soft contact bullshit.

Looks like Henley just got a callback from the Astros

 

 

[Mo Horn 8732]

[Overlord 366]

We are going to be hurting soon
