maloney.adam Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I can’t even watch the live broadcast. It keeps going back to the first couple innings with Lynn pitching. Probably for the best. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Forcing Houston to at least use one of Graveman or Pressly would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 11 minutes ago, fathom said: You’ve followed the organization enough to know that when they try to do something like rest starters or adjust rotation to face certain teams, it always backfires The purpose of spring training is to have enough consistent work in preparation for the season. Why was this concept all the sudden ignored for the positional players coming off injuries? Especially before the playoffs where we would be expected to face talented pitching. The amount of rest was absurd, and many mentioned it would affect them later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he didn’t help either, punting HFA and not starting Giolito. Lynn has been terrible against the Astros which are the best fastball hitting team in the majors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...both things happen. Lynn pitches better when he can smell those onions. The same throw off McCullers because, as a vegan, he knows they are going to be used on hot dogs or polishes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s one game, but given their track record from last year in the postseason and their record since the break, you can see why some of us are pissed and overreacting? Absolutely. This was totally frustrating, but we are really solid in a whole lot of places. I was just trying to say that all of these teams have holes, ours just looked a lot worse today:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Can I ask a stupid question. Baseball got rid of the neighborhood play..right? Cause I swear on Grandals double play Correa was not just physically on 2nd base when he caught the ball to turn the dp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
