    I think Roy explained it aptly during the 2nd inning, his command is gone, and he was very reliant on his sequencing to fool hitters in 2020. There does not seem to be a velocity issue, at least. He was never this bad for the Dodgers.
  2. Danchat
    Well, they're both currently hurt, and Balazovic has had 4 starts at A+. Duran is close, but I don't expect to see Balazvoic this year.

    I foresee a trip to the IL in Maeda's near future. He can only throw meatballs or miss the plate by a foot.

    Getting 2 runs out of that bases loaded situation is nice, but Rortvedt getting hit is lucky. Very dumb baserunning move by Simmons. I, for one, am happy that Sano is on the bench for Astudillo.
  5. Danchat
    Maeda got 2 strikes on Eaton and Moncada and gave them a couple hittable pitches in the upper zone... that's going to lead to some CWS runs if he keeps throwing like that.

    Arraez activated off 7 day concussion list, Gordon optioned.

    I can't say much more than what's already been said... good article, Nick. When Nick Gordon having one good start is the main highlight of the week... it's been a really bad week!
  8. Danchat
    This lineup is legally obligated to score a maximum of 3 runs, it seems.
  9. Danchat
    I’m not convinced leaving our starters in the game longer is going to fix anything...

    They’re DFAing Blankenhorn? Hmm, I don’t like that. I guess the FO doesn’t see him as a legitimate prospect anymore. That’s disappointing. Waddell got claimed by the Orioles.
  11. Danchat
    Oh, I just assumed Rortvedt was in as a defensive replacement. Truly, nobody can stay healthy on this team.
  12. Danchat
    Was it the fact that his OPS dropped below .900 when he flew out? I dunno, I'm fine with him. He'll get hot again, eventually. Even the best hitters ebb and flow through the season.
  13. Danchat
    Once Robles gets his fastball going, watch out! He's just likely going to walk the leadoff guy, for some reason.
  14. Danchat
    Manaea gave up two hits in the 8th inning and not only lost his no hitter, but also let the Rays tie the game at 1-1.
  15. Danchat
    Well, it's 71 PAs since he's taken 15 walks, so it's really a 36.6% K rate rather than a 46% one, but both are still awful. He will eventually rebound once his average normalizes to his BABIP, but he's still going to be a .170-.190 hitter when that happens, which is not acceptable for what he's being paid and how long he's been in the league.
  16. Danchat
    Nice, and now Sean Manaea has a no hitter going for the A's into the 8th. This is but a side affect of the league's batting average being something like .230.
  17. Danchat
    So... if the game ends here, do we credit God / Mother Nature with the save?
  18. Danchat
    How does Stashak get so many chances despite looking terrible, yet Alcala can never get into a game when we have the lead?
  19. Danchat
    I’m surprised they have Polanco trying to steal third... and finally, RISP!!
  20. Danchat
    I was actually talking about Sano...
  21. Danchat
    I thought this was exaggeration, but holy crap, you're right. My gosh, he's been horrid at the plate. He does have 3 games with multiple walks... but that's it.
  22. Danchat
    If anything, Garlick deserves to be starting more games with the pop he's shown recently... unfortunately CF is probably a stretch for him. I guess put Kep in CF and Garlick in RF?
  23. Danchat
    I don't think Balazovic will be ready anytime soon.. I could see Duran here later in the Summer.
  24. Danchat
    This outfield has 3 lefties now, with Larnach taking over LF, and it'll be 4 when Kirilloff is ready. Lefty pitchers are going to eat them up.
  25. Danchat
    Now that I think about it, I wondered if they considered calling up Celestino as he's a very good defender in CF and he's on the 40 man and already using his 2nd option, but he's at AA and his bat is not ready yet. Larnach is the likely choice because he has the best chance of hitting the ball and getting on base, because without Buxton, Arraez, and Kirilloff, how the heck is this team going to score runs?
