5/11 vs A's

[d-money]

This offense has to get going.

[Maxbialystock]

Each team has 1 hit and 1 run.

This offense has to get going.

 

It's tough when you only have five hitters in the lineup.

Well 5 hitters wouldn't be so bad if you only had 5 spots in the batting order.

[Maxbialystock]

Good at bat by Verdugo despite the out.

Why isn't JD wearing a shin guard? It really isn't going to hamper his speed all that much.

[Maxbialystock]

Bassitt seems to have our guys mesmerized. The Bogaerts K was classic.

 

After 4 innings, he's thrown 43 pitches to Eovaldi's 70 pitches.

Hopefully he didn't just stay in so we could keep the DH

Similar to Lopez last night.

[d-money]

Not good. Eovaldi has to give us a couple of shutout innings here.

Ridiculous low number of pitches.

[Nick]

Pitch count....Eovaldi 70, Bassitt 43....that's with getting out of 4th with a double play for Eovaldi.....

 

Look for pitchers that can throw strikes...If I'm the owner, I insist on it.

Good news is. Oakland isn’t either. Might only take a couple to win tonight.

Maybe that's why you aren't the owner...?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The goal is 5 innings for our starters.......I'd think it's Whitlock's turn to go today.

 

 

Most MLB starters make it seem that 7 inning baseball isn't a bad idea.

Bassitt is better than Lopez

[moonslav59]

We looked like we were getting into a big run total followed by meh, then another big scoring game. Yesterday was supposed to be big.

The quality of our opponent has taken a drastic step up since last week

[Maxbialystock]

Classic Eovaldi. 0-2, and it takes him 5 more pitches to get the out.

[Maxbialystock]

Finally. A 3 pitch out.

[Nick]

Despite my complaints, Eovaldi is pitching a one hitter.

[Thunder]

Better inning from Nate

[Thunder]

Despite my complaints, Eovaldi is pitching a one hitter.

 

Maybe you should keep complaining

[d-money]

Time for some offense! Let’s go!!!

[Maxbialystock]

85 pitches. Will Eovaldi see the 6th? Almost certainly, but he will have one very nervous manager.

[jung]

The breaking stuff pitchers are throwing this year is just amazing to me. Everybody seems to have really good breaking stuff and the guys who are usually the guys you are used to seeing throw good breaking stuff are throwing INSANE breaking stuff this year.

[Nick]

Perez was pulled after five with 74 pitches. Eovaldi at 85. You bet your sweet ass Eovaldi will return for inning 6.

[Nick]

No chance to score this inning unless Devers hits one out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Many fans don't like the shift, but in reality it doesn't effect the purity of the game. The original rule in baseball was there had to be 9 guys on the field. Where they positioned themselves was never an issue. Hell, the manager could have 7 guys all clustered in LF if he wanted.
