Monday, May 15: Grayson Rodriguez vs Shohei Ohtani

[Malike]

Angels wishing they had a TOR pitcher tonight.

Wow, what a tense pitching duel this is turning out to be. 

[Billy F-Face3]

Adam Sandlwr should get with the Orioles about making a Waterboy movie sequel lol

[Jagwar]

Man... Ohtani has been hanging some breaking balls. Somehow Mountcastle didn't swing at that one

That Ohtani sweeper has some serious movement but it can just sit there and hang like the Frazier and AS homers.

Yeah, if you see a sweeper coming right at you start swinging, it's going top end up over the plate. But hope it's not a fastball instead.

[Uli2001]

Haha, classic pitcher over-confidence after the great defensive play. "I will just groove the next one down the middle."

ESPN says that was a grooved 82 mph change up on the double....?

I'd say you may want to follow the game @ Baseball Savant if ESPN is saying that.

[ArtVanDelay]

Mountcastle lets a hanging sweeper go by on 3-1 and then predictably Ks

[Billy F-Face3]

Ok, it's time for Grayson to establish command and maintain the lead. Let's go, Grayson!

Me too.  I was in the middle of a dissertation about how much I hate it when Santander hit that hr. 

Me too, but I shortened it after the HR! LOL

It’s crazy how good these guys are now.  MLB in general.  Bar gets raised every year.  It’s incredible to see.

Thanks, i said grooved, but that is what ESPN showed.  But someone had said he was sitting on FB and Savant said it was a change up too and that is right in his hot box.

[mrbig1]

if Grod walks or give up a hit or two, he has to go.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Wtf. That looked like a fly ball.
