Damn Larnach. Another swinging K to kill another rally. Who do you think you are, Sano?

[Vanimal46]

Happ better have a short leash. Better yet, pull him after Winker’s PA.

These are part of the growing pains of letting the kids play. It was Kirilloff yesterday. However, watching Happ toss taters up there is not.

[h2oface]

I have always wanted pitchers to have to receive a similar pain when they hit a batter. They just get away with murder. Not all HBP of course, but many, I don't care if they didn't mean to do it either. They suffer no consequence. If anything, other players on their team have to suffer for them. They need to suffer too.

[Vanimal46]

Berrios is consistently pulled after 75 pitches. Happ’s allowed to go 100. Why on Earth would Berrios sign an extension here?

Berrios’ pitch counts since the start of May:

95, 104, 103, 84, 106, 101, 99, 99, 103

2 inherited runners. Do we just mark them scored now or wait?

Fair enough. Glad he’s been stretched out too. 100+ pitches from Happ tonight is crazy.

Though in Happ’s case, that’s only good for seven outs.

Thanks, Einstein.

At least I never spell Kirilloff wrong.

Or Duffey

or Rogers....... 

 

[SanoMustGo]

Happ 10 baserunners in 4 2/3.  He was lucky, but he wasn't good.  When Pineda returns, send him to the BP and end this with Shoemaker

[mnfireman]

Happ's ERA actually went down after tonight's game, for those who still believe in ERA.

[RickOShea]

Get a haircut!

Berrios has been pulled when under 75 pitches a single time since 2018 - that being a game against the Reds in April 2018 where he went 3 innings and gave up 4 runs.

You're probably thinking more about innings rather than pitch count. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Buxton out.

At this point I would feel better if another team had to deal with his injuries

As much as I get frustrated with Buxton’s injuries, taking a pitch on the hand is almost an automatic removal and injury for any hitter.

Appreciate you giving me the benefit of the doubt. I haven’t been paying close attention this year. By the way, this came in the mail today….

I understand that completely.  I am beginning to think he will never stay healthy enough to show us what he is capable of.

[insagt1]

But you just can't make this stuff up...how injuries find Buxton like a pig to truffles. Its simply bizarre how this guy cannot stay healthy. Getting hit in the hand is not an 'unserious' injury in many cases. Shaking head vigorously....is this really happening?

[SanoMustGo]

Here is Buxton's chance for a big hit...ohh wait.....

[jkcarew]

It’s only Buxtonish if the recovery is 2-3 times longer than normal.

[mnfireman]

Maybe Castellanos needs one in on the hands...

Well, if you buy a ticket and go, you can stay at my place. It won't cost you nearly as much as the ticket does.

Hey now!
