Wednesday, August 2: Grayson Rodriguez & Orioles vs Yusei Kikuchi Blue Jays

[baltfan]

Did he throw anything but fastballs?  Every once and awhile he gets good tail on it. 

[SteveA]

All fastballs that inning for Grayson?

[SteveA]

Grayson might be in another pitcher's duel.   Friday night was fantastic.

[Hallas]

When did Kikuchi learn how to pitch?  Every time I've seen him before this, he throws meatball after meatball.

They are putting everything in play, but the results are good so far.

He is ahead in the count.  That helps a lot.

He gives up a ton of homers.

I expect them to channel a little bit of last night's O's and start jumping on the first pitch fastball.

Keeps the pitch count low and efficient. I'll take a bunch of easy-out soft contact. Maybe he has a strategy for getting through the order a 2nd and 3rd time depending on what adjustments he and McCann see necessary.

This was supposed to be a reply to Malike's Rodriguez comment about them putting the ball in play.

Like that Mateo went the other way, even if it was an out.

[O's84]

Really ump?
