So far this season, as the game started, Ryan is only getting 3.17runs/9 innings (RS/9) of support, or about 2 runs per 6 inning outing. It would be nice if the offense supported him better.
Absolutely. Watching him loaf after a ball at the fence and allow a double to turn into a triple last night was a glaring window into his mental laziness. Two days in a row of 4Ks finally got the reward. This is weeks overdue.
Shouldn’t sacrifice runs for outs either, even if it is the first inning. I know that is the accepted standard, but when the last two games your offense gets 2 and 3 hits, every run counts big with this team.
That sounds so much better than tied for last in AL Central! 😇
Ober was sensational. What a game. And the bullpen didn’t give up a single hit or run! Hard to believe they are winning games with 2 and 3 hits. Gotta love it.
They never did have too much starting pitching. That was only writers’ poor takes of what a baseball team needs. Never too much pitching. The challenge is only how to manage the roster. Now QUALITY starting pitching? Definitely not enough.
