Too bad there are only 3 outs because Wenceel was set to hit a HR if the pattern continued: Results by batter that inning: Reached base Reached base Out 3 run HR Reached base Reached base Out 3 run HR Reached base Reached base Out
Greene goes through terrible stretches where he looks like he has a hole in his bat a la Adam Dunn and then rebounds into streaks where he looks like prime roided Raffy Palmeiro. He's fascinating.
Maybe compared to himself, but even with the awful stretch he had earlier this season, the lowest OPS+ he has had in a month this season was 112 in March/April. His worst month he was above average.
I need Tyler Owens to pitch the 9th of this game to close it out in a non-save opportunity just like he did the only 2 other days he was up on the major league roster. Back to back games against the Angels he pitched the 9th in 10-4 and 9-1 wins.
Wonder if Skubal pitches this game? Would be 3rd game back after ASB, and would allow Skubals next start after that to be weekend home game.
When do we empty bench. Would be nice to have Greene in LF for game 2, and leave more options at DH .
All these dog shit pitchers did great for us and saved the bullpen for tonight. hopefully Flaherty shows up tonight.
Yeah, it’s hard to watch Flaherty right now. His fastball isn’t good enough so everyone just sits on his breaking stuff and he can’t get hardly any swing and miss.
Give him an IL stint and see if some rest and time to reset can do anything for him. We stuck with him next year may as well try anything. Don't think that will do anything though, he doesnt seem to have an out pitch anymore and guys can wait him out for a mistake and foul off his stuff they don't want
Flaherty is bad enough this season, but our offense does seem to go dead a lot of his starts too. No hit thru 3 now. Didn't score his last start. Only scored 1 2 starts before that. We were shut out in 3 of his other starts too. In fact we have only been shut out 5 times this year going into today. 4 were in Flaherty starts
