Funny you should say reliever risk. The shape of his slider reminds me of a former white sox reliever. Luis Vizcaino

Harold the other thing that gets me. Kumar's big pitch is his slider. It has more drop than lateral movement. I don't know how that's going to play in the majors. He throws it just out of the zone and I see batter after batter chase it. MLB hitters have a much more discerning eye than College hitters.

Kumar Rocker was sloppy tonight against Arkansas in the SEC Tourney. He got chased with a high pitch count in the 4th inning after giving up 4. I see him and I see Carson Fulmer. Great stuff to get college hitters out. Not enough control to make the next leap.

I went to Costco with my wife. I saw about 4 people without their masks. I turned to my wife as we are both wearing masks and are both vaccinated. I bet you that they are not vaccinated is what she said to me. Then two minutes later one of them told an older lady that she was a sheep and there is no virus. Case closed.

TLR appreciates your efforts.

Well we can't use our closer. We don't have the lead.

So Mr Hall of fame would put pitchers in to hit if a position player goes into pitch? And when the pitcher gets hurt when he runs to first thats acceptable because it doesnt hurt Mr Snowflakes feelings. Christ.

I hope someone bat flips the twins when we are in Minny. Rocco can eat a shit burger for all I care. This here would be nice.

I think the mercy rule will do the opposite. It will cause teams to attempt to run up the score early to end the game. Imagine if you can save pitching by just blowing the team out of the water. I mean in high school and travel I see this exactly used. Its an advantage to end the game quickly. You also know they will add that as a stat and it will embarrass the lower run teams more than anything. I never minded getting beat. But if you were so bad that the other team had to stop playing because you suck so much. That is more embarrassing then them running up the score.

I played college baseball as well. I once hit a kid when I was younger because my dipshit coach told me to hit him because he hit a home run and was disrespecting the team in an earlier game. I did it because he was my coach and it was an unwritten rule and I listened to my coach or else. The kid lost his spleen but at least we honored old school meathead baseball. Younger me was a fucking moron for listening to a moron coach. Luckily we have gotten away from the land of barbarians. I got into the heat of battle with my opponents. And as a pitcher sometimes I won, sometimes I lost. I never blamed the hitter for hitting the home run. I blamed myself for throwing a shitty pitch or hell tipped my cap on a hitter putting a great swing on an awesome pitch. My coaches over the years however, they had different thoughts. A lot of it was bad. It's time to get rid of these dinosaurs.

He was shallow. He was meat the minute he turned at 3rd.

Shallow fielder and they send him to his death. Christ.

TLR would probably bunt him over down 3 runs in that inning.

He would of scored there on the same hit if he was at 2nd. So the bunt didnt score the run.

Ricky R thinks TLR is an idiot for bunting here.

Bunt?

They should be trying to bury the division. This is not an elite offense with Eloy and Robert out of it. So keeping other teams around is not a formula for success. We are currently winning with great pitching and we have faced some dogs lately.

This inning was lost by an asshole trying to hit a 9000 foot homer instead of just trying to hit the ball hard. Great work Grandal.

Turning 1st and 2nd with no outs into 2nd and third with 2 outs with Leury up.

Grandal trying to send every pitch into the parking lot. What a garbage AB.

He is a vet and he is lefty. That checks a whole bunch of knobs for TLR.

Gio is not hitting his spots. He needs to either bury the changeup or throw it way high. Throwing it over the meat of the plate is not on the catcher its on his execution.
