Painful, but also somewhat hilarious to watch "hitters" tonight just roll over and play dead, especially with men on base. Clueless in Seattle.
Anyway, game over, but I will continue to watch Fever Pitch on STARZ.
No, he wasn't better in 2018 when he pitched 129 innings with a WAR of 3. In 2019 he pitched 201 innings with a WAR of 6, which is unlikely to ever come close to again.
Gotta love Matt Andriese. He gets two quick outs and decides, what the hey, let's walk this next guy on 4 pitches. Before you know it, a nice little rally for the Jays.
Whatever he might have had in April is gone, gone, gone.
That K against Bogie underscores the difference between Ryu and ERod, who has never, ever been able to keep working the edges of the strike zone like that. It is just not in his makeup.
And here comes Matty!!
ERod and Eovaldi now fighting for 4th best starter, and it looks to me as though ERod is being edged out and with be 5th. W-L record is so misleading. Seriously, what does it mean when a pitcher's main claim to fame is the lineup scores runs when he pitches?
Game is about over. No hitting and ERod about out of gas. Renfroe didn't help. Ditto the flukey hits. But that double was real enough.
Two games in a row when ERod gives up 4 or more runs.
OK. Time for Devers to earn that incredible salary he hopes to get someday.
Yeeccch. He works him to a 3-2 count and reaches for a ball a yard outside the strike zone.
