Oh, so that explains why they aren't hitting him well. Thanks, I figured it was our bats just sucking and had nothing to do with the quality of the guy on the mound.

Not shocked at all by this take.

They are making Zac Gallen look like a really good pitcher.

I think Marte is, but Walker is one of their better hitters.

I know they have measurements for chase and whiff percentages, but I feel like guys who get a lot of backward K's should have a metric for that. I feel like a backward K is more impressive than most swinging K's.

Man, Westburg is a good kid.

He seems off a bit. He's late to the fastball trying to cover the changeup. Not just today, I mean in general.

Clearly not. Never give your opinion if it goes against the hive mind or RZNJ will put you on an island. Anyway, this is boring and I have to work in an hour so I'll bow out and concede internet victory to him, so he can sleep thinking he won an argument on the internet.

Hey if you want to be accurate he had 3 hits and 1 RBI before, you know, someone hit a HR to actually stop the O's from losing the game.

Well, he did tell us exactly what happened up to the point of Santander's HR, I mean we all watched the game so it was super helpful. Guess what, we were still losing at that point, but again. He's an important man around here and his omnipotence cannot be questioned in baseball matters.

He'd definitely be cheaper. He reminds me a bit of Zobrist, the guy can just do everything. Solid as a rock.

I mean, it's definitely ridiculous. Grown men can't have differing opinions without being insulting. There is merit to both players, I picked mine. I'm obviously wrong, because RZNJ said so, and he's kind of a big deal around here.

I voted for Westburg for the gameball for him because he's in OH jail. Honestly, the rep points are the best things he's ever done for the board, at least they are entertaining.

Unlike you, I don't seek validation from strangers on the internet. I'm happy to be on my own island. You can live for likes here and feel good about yourself, it's good to feel important in some part of your life, even if it's a message board.

Oh, by nothing happened I mean the box score shows a zero, which is nothing.

Nobody gets a gameball if he doesn't hit the HR then. We lose in nine. Westburg had a great game and only had a chance to walk it off thanks to the 8th inning HR, otherwise, you're all here lamenting about how the double plays killed us and we should have scored more than three runs or whatever.

Yeah, he really only had the fastball tonight.

But it already happened. I'm not trying to erase history. We literally lose that game if Santander doesn't hit the HR. I'm not talking about what if's. We saw what happened in the 9th. Nothing.

Defense looked better than his bat tonight, so there is that.

Dirtybird voted for Westburg for the gameball. I'll post for him because he can't post for himself until he learns how to behave.

The gameball doesn't go to the winner. Who had the bigger play? Santander is the only correct answer. We did nothing prior to or after his HR in regulation. We lose that game without him.

Hot take. Without Santander we lose in 9 seeing how the game played out.

He almost fell down picking another ball up. I'd much rather he play in RF if he's going to be in the field. I'd take Mullins with his zero-sum bat right now in CF and Cowser in LF.

Congrats on the gameball, Tony. We aren't here without your HR.

No that was for Moose, not you, D. The smart bet when reading my posts are 99.9% of them are sarcasm or hyperbole.
