lmao Crawford just said wow at how slow Maldonado was.

Can't imagine being a player as good as him and having to deal with all the losing, this roster, and guys making routine mistakes.

Went half way right, but just started going back way too early. He ain't throwing you out from there even if you don't get a head start on going back.

I'm pretty sure someone on this board can too

Alright time to turn the game off. I don't want to see this bullpen attempt to pitch 4 innings.

Thorpe is a hell of an athlete. Kopech looked like he wanted no part of that bunt last night. That play looked way harder than the bunt.

Fastball velo is trending down, he just missed way high with it. He's tired.

2 errors basically cost Thorpe an inning's worth of pitches.

lol Sosa WTF

No whiffs on the fastball so far. But a 41% whiff rate on the change up. Cutter and slider sit in the 20s.

Yeah we saw that with Giolito. Guys just sat change up and fought off fastballs.

It's how he got a high speed grade from scouts even though he's like barely above league average in sprint speed.

Feels like he has trouble putting hitters away with something other than that change up. When Giolito lost spin rate after the sticky stuff ban, he made up for it with a much more effective slider.

Just watching him, he's like a Giolito re-gen without the velocity Giolito had in 2019 and 2020. The fastball being 92 is encouraging cause I thought he'd sit high 80s.

I remember his slider not being that bad prior to his knee injury in 2021.

Shoots himself in the foot, almost gets out of it, then shoots himself in the foot again. Classic Kopech.

Kopech is a gas can

The Japanese use gongs too, but this would definitely not fly today. Same with all the racist s%*# Cubs fans did for Fukudome.

Team record is 15. Surely Pedro will be fired if he gets past that right?

So when's Pedro gonna get canned?

Brebbia ain't fooling anyone.

Brebbia is meant to pitch in the pouring rain

I mean what's he supposed to do in that situation? Apparently the fielder can try to seek you out and it'll be interference too...

Vaughn had zero incentive to interfere. He's going back to the base, why would he want Henderson to not catch the ball? This is an example of an umpire seeing something and not thinking of the context or situation at all.

Kevin Pillar is now hitting .323 on the season with a .421 wOBA. WTF is going on in Anaheim?
