Tuesday, April 11: Gas Can T-Shirt Night, O's vs A's

[Gurgi]

This AAA team of Oakland is getting plenty of hits off of G Rod.   

[JR Oriole]

I can't recall the last time I saw any pitcher give up 6 hits, with 100% of them on 2 strike counts.  Probably happens more than we think....but not much!

[Just Regular]

Brown just had tidbit 7 of 14 hitters in a 2-strike count have reached.

[Alasdaire]

Seems so obvious sitting here to buzz them high and dare them to catch up if you're up 0-2/1-2 and have a heater.

[Gurgi]

Greyson just cant close people out.  

[seak05]

Greyson needs better command, especially of his non-fb pitches. But you can definitely get away with more in the minors.

His pitches also aren’t getting the Oakland hitters to chase 

[Mooreisbetter27]

Big out. And on first pitch which is nice. 

[Gurgi]

Bring G Rod out for another inning?  He looks kind of tired to me to be honest.

He’s still throwing in the upper 90s. Yes, you bring him back out.

[Bemorewins]

I will say this about Grayson. He will be punished pitching like this against a better hitting team. 
 

If he pitched like this against the Yanks, he would have gotten buried. I could see Judge or Stanton turning around one of those middle middle 1-2 fastballs a long way. He has to clean that up quick.

100%

[Going Underground]

Oakland might lose more then the Mets. No pitching and no hitting is a bad combination. 

[SteveA]

No action in the Oakland pen yet.  This would be a nice time to tee off on Muller a bit.

[Gurgi]

Time for Gunnar to do something cool.  Tired of waiting.

We have no one warming.
