Right. A chopper and a bloop have "stinker" written all over it.
-
Contradiction in terms there. If the Marlin hitters hit those balls harder, they are outs and the whole inning doesn't happen.
-
I'd rather they get this funk out the way now. It was going to happen sooner or later; sooner is better.
-
Had em all the way.
-
Well, there's not much Cora can do when 3 straight relievers can't get the job done.
-
Yeah, he didn't torture you, just gave up the long ball quickly.
-
You almost wonder if Mattingly was saying, kid, learn to get yourself out of thses messes instead of looking to somebody else to do it. It's a luxury he can afford with a last place club. Okay, it's probably not that way, but if it is, I find it refreshing.
-
In Durham, the bulll is breathing a sigh of relief.
-
This ump has not had a good night.
-
You could see that coming. Guys been all over the place and gets 2 strikes on perfect unhittable pitches.
-
Probably.
-
Well, no one is making it easy on Cora and clamoring to take the job.
-
Yeah. The hits didn't bother me, they happen. But once again he had 2 strikes on a hitter and ended up walking him.
-
After the strike 2 call, he had no choice.
-
Kimbrel has been bad in 4 out situations, and it's not confined to this year.
-
No, he made a great pitch that was blooped about 120 feet into no man's land.
-
Yep.
-
Well, I was going to predict a chopper off the plate. Hembree makes a great pitch and gets burned.
-
Well if nothing else, at least he doesn't appear to be afraid to throw the ball with guys on base.
-
You only get a hold if you come in in a save situation but don't finish the game. So no, no blown holds.
-
Weird. I know he hasn't always looked good, but believe it or not, that's only Barnes 2nd blown save of the season; ironically, the other one was also against Miami way back in April.
-
Oh for crying out loud, it happened in 3 pitches. That's not enough time to even stand up and stretch. much less get warmed up.
-
Agree on Porcello. If nothing else, he gives you innings (usually 6 and often 7). Johnson usually done after 4 or maybe 5. Velazquez, nah. He's been doing a Houdini act all year (WHIP is nearly 1.5) and it caught up to him last time out. Plus he doesn't give you more than 3 innings right now.
-
Wright would be bullpen help. I don't see any way he could get stretched out enough to return to the rotation; minor league seasons end Monday.
-
Good start for Johnson; lately, it seems like he's had trouble in the first then settles down for about 4 innings
