Two reasons to love Zach Britton

[Babypowder]

I personally would like less contact too, but we need to enjoy him while it lasts. At this rate, he's going to get expensive quickly.

First 4 out save of his career.

A pity it wasn't five outs. There would have been a certain symmetry to that.

3. Fields his position.

MASN called it, his first multi-inning save.

That sinker he throws is down right NASTY everybody knows it's coming and they still pound it into the dirt, or flat out whiff on it :thumbsup1:

I had the same feeling with Greg Olson's curve, everybody knew it was coming, yet, most of the time, it was untouchable.

Zach stuff is so nasty sometimes. I remember last season watching his 97mph sinking fastball pound the bottom of the zone and thinking to myself, "where did that come from?" I sure hope he can sustain this stuff for at least a few more seasons.

Bottom line they were outs.

Would you rather see him, hit hard, and make the outfielders go out onto the warning track for them?

I was certainly not complaining about him, I love seeing him come in the game. Just an observation, he seems to sometimes get in trouble only because of soft ground balls and broken bat singles. It is a good problem to have.

*Now.

Remember when he was a terrible fielder? Buck mentioned how much he's improved in his press conference last night. I recall Buck getting on him about not defending his position a few years ago. He looks great now.

Yep, it's something that Buck really drills into his pitchers

Awaiting Can's usual "well, he's gone after this year so let's enjoy him while we have him" #troll. I got a call on a 2016 thread, "Do You Wish We Had Signed ZB Long-term?"

[mdbdotcom]

Britton rhymes with smitten, so you have to love the guy.

I wonder if we ever see them try to start Zach again. Two will be gone from the rotation next year.

One more - how does it get any better!

Bundy, Bach, MacFarland, and maybe even Hunter might be available for SP role.

Increased confidence in Zach...or lack of confidence in anybody else? You would think Gausman should be able to get through that inning on his own.

He would have if DeAza caught that ball.
