vs. BLUE JAYS, 8/17

[OFFNY]

o

 

Hyun-Jin Ryu )has been uncharacteristically wild so far this season, giving out 10 Free Passes (9 Walks and 1 Hit Batsman) in only 20 Innings Pitched.

In his previous 2 seasons combined, Ryu's walk rate over 265 Innings Pitched was 1.325, including a league-leading 1.183 for the Dodgers last season.

That said, he is certainly capable of pitching 8 innings without walking any batters.

Scherzer had 10 walks in 19 2/3 prior to Sunday. Jus' sayin'......

[Ruzious]

Some of the O's batters are a bit difficult to walk.  And just wait till both Mountcastle and Hays are in the lineup together. 

Actually, we have been waiting.   

The over/under for Ryu's walks vs the O's is... 1.

And Scherzer wasn't really the reason we lost that game. John Means and Rio Ruiz were, with contributions from Chris Davis and Hanser Alberto.

I just realized I actually can't tell from the context whether you were implying that Scherzer's walk rate was a good thing for us or bad. If the former, I like your optimism!

What I was implying was Max has been uncharacteristically wild this year but he came in and shut us down. Santander notwithstanding...

Did he really shut us down, though? If you're looking at the scoreboard, he didn't. Other than that, he went deeper into the ballgame than most starters can go these days, so that's the most impressive thing I'd say about his outing. But it turned out to cost him 3 runs for that extra inning or so he pitched.

That's true. Manager shouldn't have let him talk him into sending him back out there. They showed them probably discussing it in the dugout. If Max hadn't pitched the last inning it would have been quite a nice start. If only 5 innings.

Wow! Those are some FUGLY baby blue unis!

Rob Long and Bordie were even cutting on them right after I posted that.

Since we're playing the Jays (albeit, at OPACY), I'll ask the question: How have other teams been handling the Buffalo stadium they're playing in? Is it a hitter-friendly, pitcher-friendly or meh park? It's not every year that MLB has a new park, so it's always interesting to see how the ball plays in there.

They hit a ton of dongs that last series but I don't think they've played enough games to say yet.

Should they really be singing Oh Canada for the Buffalo Jays? LOL
