He gave up 8 hits. He got lucky. Hopefully we

dont need him to start another game this year. 

Both can be true. He did his job.

He got lucky and unlucky.

Yep.

That defensive alignment against AR is really odd. Now can we capitalize?!?!?

[Hank Scorpio]

Is that DJ Stewart

[Moose Milligan]

Way to get it started Adley. 
 

LFG.  Get some runs. 

[Fiver6565]

I don’t really get the four man OF. If you have a major league OF that can’t cover enough ground you need new OFers. Feels like analytics gone rogue to me.

One I think the one Vlad hit about 125 mph. He didn’t go up middle on the Springer grounder, didn’t turn 2 and the bobble which should have been 2 on the grounder.  

You can chalk any one of those up to requiring an extraordinary effort. But Gunnar is an extraordinary athlete. He makes at least a couple of those plays at 3B or short. At a minimum, he's being underutilized at second. At worst, he's a liability. I think you take him off 2B and see if Urias is competent there.

Weak pop up after weak pop up. Just a terrible approach

Nice job Mountcastle!!! Just missed a hr

[dtk9119]

Mountcastle goes the other way!! Damn just missed a HR

[eddie83]

I’ll take it but should be tied. 

[Hank Scorpio]

Lets go…. damn that was unlucky.

[Fiver6565]

There we go!  Big hit RMC!!!

[ArtVanDelay]

Damn I thought that was gone.  Gausman got lucky there.
