    Just noticed Chayce has a heat wrap around his back in the dugout.  

    Still, turn the game on!

    Normal.  Heat helps blood flow.

    But you once paid $11 for a beer at OPACY, and Nick made a lot of cash, so he shoulda been doing some kind of Navy Seal training and hit 8 points higher for the fans.

    And maybe his off-season routine is why he played in less than 150 games only 3x in his 14 year (not counting 2020) career.  He found a way to post & put up numbers.  He was worth every $ he was paid.  Can’t say that about many players.

     I live about 20-30 minutes from Harbor Park so I made my first trip of the year. I didn't even know Means was pitching until yesterday, I wanted to see Holliday and Mayo (who went deep). He looked like Means - fastball was probably 90-92, had the good changeup going, good breaking stuff. Very little hard contact, a lot of pop-ups, just a couple of deeper flies in the last inning or two. I think he's certainly ready. 

    BBQ down left field line is legit.  

  4. Kimbrel hasn’t looked right all year.  He’s been wild in the zone and his fastball is down 1.9 Mph on the season with his usage at a career high.  
     

    If you look at his statcast usage visual graph, you’ll see why.  His curve is all over the place and even when he located it low & outside of the zone (where it should be) it’s getting hit hard.  Couple that with a fastball that has no command and is 1.9 ticks lower than last year and you have yourself a disaster that’s been waiting to expose itself all year.

    As it was happening on Cole Ragans' bad night, I was surprised the Royals let him go I think it ended up ~47 pitches.    Jeff Passan type people are going to remember that if anything goes wrong in the near term.

    For sure.  I was thinking the same thing.

    36 pitches in 2/3 of an inning with 3 walks. Only 1 run but yikes.

    After 25 pitches in one inning is the danger zone.  Can’t keep someone out there and risk injury regardless of situation.

    Needs his fastball up in zone. 

    I guess we will see how or plays out.  I havnt liked what I’ve seen.

    He allowed 5 hits and 2 walks all year coming into tonight. The 2 walks were this week. His velo had been ticking up.  

    It’s looked like smoke and mirrors to me.

    Well nobody can touch the ball when they're 50 feet outside the strike zone.

    To be fair, SG's point was valid before tonight.

    Nah.  His velo has been down.  He’s been missing spots by feet not inches.  Has been behind in count and been bailed out.  Has gotten lucky repeatedly.  It hasn’t been pretty.
