chw42 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Shoulda thrown Ramirez cutters and Gimenez sinkers. Maybe then there wouldn't be any home runs hit off Lynn so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have preferred a cutter too, but Lynn really rides his luck throwing so many pitches middle-middle vs good hitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I think he probably will be going forward. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
