harkness99 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 thought it was dumb that he was pitching after 2 strait walks and already getting launched. Not smart by ricky bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulfly Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I don't know what Ricky was looking at the previous few at bats. But clearly the kid doesn't have it and shouldn't be pitching to any more batters. Though truthfully he never should have been in this position to begin with and that's another failure of Hahn.

There was no crispness on his pitches. Actually reminds me of when Kopech was throwing slower despite saying he was ok.

But you also can't really pull him in the second or third here and make it a bullpen game. In a clincher you do that but not in this situation. Here you just have to hope he gets through and otherwise you just lose the game. Edited September 19, 2020 by Dominikk85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Friday Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Poor kid. Tough game for him. If they don’t gain ground in a couple innings I’d rest the regulars. At least we may see crochet pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
