First swing and miss on a pitch in the Strike zone for Rick.....FB

[TylerD]

Not a single swing and miss on a pitch in the strike zone so far for Rick and up to 24 pitches with no out in the 2nd.

 

2 outs. 30 pitches. He will give us 6 innings as he usually does.

[jacksonianmarch]

Another hung breaking ball

[Swiharts Ghost]

The first curve to Stewart was hung. The last one was nice

 

We need a starter ? Is this what you want to hear ? Yes Jackson we need a starter .Ok ? Now enjoy the ass woopin .

[TylerD]

Another hung breaking ball

 

Ya I see what you mean. His pitch count is gonna get up there pretty quick.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Zim is pissed at his catcher

[jung]

2 outs. 30 pitches. He will give us 6 innings as he usually does.

 

Which we all agree is not enough

[TylerD]

We need a starter ? Is this what you want to hear ? Yes Jackson we need a starter .Ok ? Now enjoy the ass woopin .

 

We do but not at the expense of Porcello. Nobody in the league do I want in a 3rd or 4th spot over Porcello. Absolutely not.

[jacksonianmarch]

He is now shying away from the breaking ball.

[TylerD]

Which we all agree is not enough

 

If we get another 5 runs sure it is.

Actually Manfred needs a brain transplant and the league needs an infusion of pitching talent which is nowhere to be found.

[jacksonianmarch]

He has a good release of the two seamer. He is really throwing his change well. He cannot find the release on the curve. He can still beat this awful lineup without the breaking ball

[TylerD]

Which is normal when it’s not working or your command is off. Like how Sale went away from the fastball at the beginning of the year. His velocity was s***

[Swiharts Ghost]

Too many pitches through 2 Rick .

[jung]

If we get another 5 runs sure it is.

 

This is exactly what is wearing the pen to shreds.

One would think. But..... this bullpen. I dunno

[TylerD]

Fair point.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Strike zone is really paethetic

[Station 13]

Shut up Gardenhire

[Swiharts Ghost]

He won't last 4 at this pace

[jung]

42 pitches, one swing and miss on a pitch in the strike zone.

[a700hitter]

High pitch count for Porcello.

[jacksonianmarch]

There is the slider. He was on top of that one

[Swiharts Ghost]

Shut up Gardenhire

 

Love Gardy he's kinda awesome lol

[jung]

That was a good slider. Best one Rick has thrown tonight.

[a700hitter]

He gone!

[TylerD]

There is the slider. He was on top of that one

 

Against this line up no way his pitch count should be this high though.

[Swiharts Ghost]

High pitch count for Porcello.

 

Rick the dick is here again .Guy has about a touchdown lead and he's flakin out .

[Swiharts Ghost]

Rick needs the break .I think his arms about dead .

[jung]

Against this line up no way his pitch count should be this high though.

 

Virtually 90% of MLB starters feature pitch counts too high and innings per start too short because they get no easy outs on weak contact and no swing and miss in the strike zone. This is not a Rick problem as much as it is an MLB problem.
