At my fantasy auction I won a bidding war for Bailey Ober, who went for twice his projected value.😒

Please review your actions during the bidding and figure out what kind of jinx you placed on the man.

Just tuned in, so nothing in the first inning colors my view, but Ober's got zero today.

[USAFChief]

A big league CFer catches that.

Sheesh, ober looks awful 

A classic understatement, at least for today.

[mrtwinsfan]

Hey Ober, spring training is Over

[ashbury]

Oof.  Difficult play in CF there.  But ultimately, catchable.

[CRF]

Ober's throwing cookies up there. Get the pen ready.

I've got an Easter bunny in the smoker.

Because this game is going nowhere awfully fast.

[Aggies7]

Hopefully, it's not smoked chocolate.

A big league ball boy, who shags daily, catches that.

Thankfully, I've got better things to do later this afternoon than partake in the rest of this fiasco of a game. 

[Aggies7]

Welp, that’s baseball, Susan.

[ashbury]

Held Perez to a single.  Progress.

[ashbury]

Perez can't score from first, against that arm?  The old man is SLOW.

[USAFChief]

Holy cow. Don't often see a guy get hit THIS hard.

[Vanimal46]

 

Whelp. So much for baseball today! 

[ashbury]

Pete Maki's got a project to work on in the coming week.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Only the bottom of the 2nd and I've already decided to turn this game off.  Ober throwing stuff that should only be seen in batting practice. 

Thankfully, his awful day is mercifully over.

[CRF]

I hope everyone has a good Easter, whatever your traditional celebration may be.  I might be switching over to the golf shortly. 

[USAFChief]

Ober's day no worse than the offense so far.

If not longer than that.

What is it going to take to get Ober out of there?....................co-vid?

Clearly the game is out of reach unless the bats really come alive and nothing else bad happens while KC is up.  So Rocco is trying to preserve the pen, and asked Ober to do the reliever's job and just get through some more innings.  And in response, yes, Ober relieved himself on the mound, all right.

Dis-concur.  If you have a BP pitcher throwing useless offspeed pitches, miles from the plate, you get another BP pitcher.

Is a preist one who believes in Preism?

I think it is one who drives a Prius... The correct auto (not sure i should believe auto correct here either... Maybe Ingrid drives one?)

[Parfigliano]

Fly ball  catch it nope

 

 

[USAFChief]

Funderburk's control every bit as solid as his past suggests.

[ashbury]

Yes and no.  An offense can't bury the team for an entire game in just the first two innings.  Ober did.

[Aggies7]

Someone here said funderburk would help pick up the slack from the Duran injury

 

seriously
