Lopez is the definition of a reliever

OK, now 5 starts for Lopez, his first time through the order numbers:

6/40 with 0 extrabase hits, 4 walks, 1 HBP, 13 strikeouts

.150/.244/.150/.394

Insanely good.

 

Seems to me he's the definition of an opener.

 

[SteveA]

Lopez first time through the order:  no hits, 1 walk

Lopez second time through the order:  4 hits, 1 HBP

Now we start the 3rd time through...

That HBP was BS! That was gonna be a strike! 

If you get hit by a strike, it's still a strike.

Them the rules.

Can you tell I don't have the game on and am just following the thread?

[scOtt]

I think he DID go Jim...

[scOtt]

[O's84]

Strike overrules HBP 

A hit-by-pitch occurs when a batter is struck by a pitched ball without swinging at it. He is awarded first base as a result. Strikes supersede hit-by-pitches, meaning if the umpire rules that the pitch was in the strike zone or that the batter swung, the HBP is nullified.

Ok I’ve been driving. Did Hyde have someone up in the pen to start the inning?

if NOT then he’s a bad manager.

 

edit: he brought Plutko in quickly, so good for him. Now it’s up to Plutko...And not going well at the moment…

Plutko is good news.

Plutko came in after 2 batters who saw just 8 pitches, so I would say he must have been up to start the inning.

[O's84]

Of course it drops in.

That is what I said.  Additionally you are supposed to make an effort to avoid getting hit.
