Finally! This guy fooled them for too long.

I thought they'd pitch around Santander and go after MC. Glad they didn't.

AR is in a slump.  

Yes, but he also as been a bit unlucky. I like a slump where the dude always kinda seems to be rumbling (i.e not Mateo).

If I was facing Mountcastle I would NEVER throw him a strike.  You really dont have to.  

[Billy F-Face3]

Mountcastle's stance looked off there. He was standing too tall and forward when he's usually counter balancing himself.

Th Os are a nightmare lineup to pitch through when they’re playing like tonight. So many patient at bats running that pitch count up.  It’s like we’ve become the peak era Red Sox who seemed to knock out the pitcher in the third every night. It’s really something.

So how'd he manage to walk EARLIER IN THE GAME?

I didn’t see that Boone got tossed. Good god he is a douche.

The ap has him at 63 pitches.

He was at like 20 after 2. Then throws 43 the next two innings.

[Dunk35]

Mountcastle has no approach at the plate. Just hacks.

So he's at 63.  Seems fine.
