7/14 vs Yanks

[Kimmi]

It happens. I pitched a bit and was pretty good. It's rare, but sometimes you just lose the strike zone.

 

I had one game I couldn't get a fastball in the strike zone for about two innings. I had to pitch nothing but curveballs.

 

It happens quite frequently where pitchers just cannot throw a strike for anything. I am pretty sure that Chapman is not going to nibble in that situation. He either lost his release point or he was just completely rattled.

Let me add that Barnes and Scott did a very good job in relief.

 

Neither Kelly nor Kimbrel had to be used in that game.

2. The double steal was Mookie's call, not Farrell's. Could you imagine having to walk back to the dugout if he'd gotten thrown out?

 

I honestly trust Mookie's judgement on the bases more than anybody else on the team including the managers. Guy is seriously one of the best/smartest base runners I've ever seen.

I agree, he has good instincts and judgment on the bases.
