Happy 4th of July game vS The Blue Jays

[Station 13]

It seems Betts is very unlucky this year.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No question; Devers batting behind Betts will help Betts.

[YastrzemskI]

Come on “asswipe”. Get it done.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers' and LeMahieu's stats are amazingly close in all categories.

[TylerD]

Barnes dont ruin this.

So you can see the box Montoya is in playing out right in front of us. He got more than he should have expected out of Panini Sandwiches but still kept him in too long in the 6th. He should have come out after the walk. But Montoya could not afford to take him out. Then when Montoya was probably desperate to bring in Biagini to pitch to Chavis, he was stuck. These guys are all worn down and they all suck to boot across baseball.

 

There are so few teams that you can say are fat in pitching in MLB that virtually everybody is in the same box. We are really not in better shape at least as far as the pen. Our expectations for the rotation have certainly not been met. But its not like there are buckets of teams with good pens. Its not like there are buckets of teams with good rotations.

[TylerD]

Leon is so frustrated with this BP lol

[TylerD]

Omg Barnes!!!! Stop throwing the ball in the f***ing dirt you moronic f***. It’s not complicated

[TylerD]

Good finish though. Nasty final pitch.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There is only one player in the AL with an OPS over 1.000. Anyone wanna guess who that may be?

That pitch is designed to finish off the plate. How far off....you are talking a couple inches between a pitch that is bounced in front of the plate and low enough to finish out of the strike zone without bouncing in front of the plate. In other words, Barnes is trying to get a swinging strike with that pitch without actually having it finish in the strike zone.

 

The number of pitchers that can throw good enough to throw in the strike zone is rapidly diminishing thanks to the sparsity of good pitching and the rocket ship baseball. Pitches finishing in the strike zone is death to this generation of pitchers.

MAkes sense. With that said his final pitch was actually really well done.

Except DJ has a near .500 BA with RISP. Insane

[jacksonianmarch]

Gonna go Workman and Hembree to close it? Wow, hold onto your hats!

[jacksonianmarch]

Trike Mout?

[TylerD]

Workman. Hold your breath. We didn’t get the 14 runs I hoped so this is going to be a heart attack.

[Tedballgame]

Sox making Jansen look like Babe Ruth.

I am surprised more guys are not trying to master the split finger. It is a well designed pitch for this generation but hard as heck to throw. Pitchers are throwing buckets and buckets of Change ups and a tremendous number of Curveballs now across baseball. Not as many Sliders being thrown because a mistake with a Slider is just meat. You have to leave a Change up out over to really make a mistake with it. But just roll a Slider up to the plate and you will leave it in the middle. That means you have thrown a Chavis.

LOL.. imagine “The Babe” in the batters box vS our pen? HAHAHAH!

[Station 13]

Another limp dick having trouble throwing strikes.

[d-money]

Do your f***ing job for once!!!

[TylerD]

Smh. I can’t take this f***ing pitching.

[Station 13]

Good job, asswipe.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well, that didn't work, man.

[d-money]

This f***ing bullpen is a disgrace. I have never seen such crappy work ever.

[Station 13]

The Barnes, Brasier and WOrkman has now blown 13 leads.

[jacksonianmarch]

He’s got one pitch. If you lay off the curve or hit the hangers, then he’s easy to hit

Must be a very difficult pitch to master. Barnes when he can do it looks good but inconsistent and nearly walked the player around the bases with two bad pitches. If it’s a pitch of inches then I think it scares some players on trying to master it maybe?

[moonslav59]

It's been that kind of season.

 

[a700hitter]

Trying to overtake the Mets as the worst bullpen in baseball. I think our crew will eventually be worse than the Mets, because they have Edwin Diaz.
