The Pitchers

RHP Joe Ryan (8-4, 3.67 ERA, 89K, 90.2IP, 1.1 bWAR) vs LHP Julio Urias (11-6, 2.57 ERA, 109K, 115IP, 2.3 bWAR)

 

The Twins hand the ball to Joe Ryan in game one of a quick two game set against the best team in baseball at Dodger Stadium. He'll be opposed by one of the most underrated starters in the MLB, Julio Urias. Urias relies on a mid-90's 4 seam fastball that he throws nearly half the time and opponents are hitting under .200 against the pitch. He also features a slow, loopy curve that doesn't get a ton of swings and misses. He will go to the changeup against right handed hitters, which has a whiff rate over 30 percent and has only gone over the fence twice in 71 batted ball events. Urias threw 6 shutout innings last time out against the Giants, allowing 7 hits, no walks, and 6 strikeouts. The Dodger's will typically allow Urias to reach his pitch count into the 90s provided that things go well, which means he's getting through 6 innings often and occasionally the 7th.

If only I was 15 years younger, I might be able to stay up for of this game...

But if I was 15 years younger, I'd be living in LA and might would probably watch this game live in Dodger Stadium...

I'm not seeing a lot of downside to me being 15 years younger right now.

Dodgers aren't drawing as well as I would have thought. 

This is LA.  It'll be like this until the 3rd inning, and like this again after the 7th.

Being local to Disney, maybe their animators could help?

 

Me personally, i like Ed Fischer drawings...

Broch was too clever to fall for my loaded question. We'd be watching a high school game...

Most of the players were in middle school or elementary 15 years ago. We’d be watching 9 year old Jose Miranda and 12 year old Carlos Correa.

i wouldn’t mind having hair again though…

Sigh...

 

Celestino needs to cut that off.

Well the last time our Platinum glove CF played in the field was basically the all star game. So happy he got to play that meaningless game instead of rest
