I’m trying to help you become more interesting! You helped me figure out that we are talking about baseball, so I wanted to do you a favor in return. 
 

I’m just joking around. 

We've got Can of Corn and Weightlifter guy plus tons of the sky is falling guys.  We're good on interesting posters.

[Sports Guy]

He didn’t throw many strikes tonight..only 53%.
 

He battled though and made pitches when he needed to. 
 

2 straight starts with poor command, although each time it was a different type of poor command.

CoC is interesting. Weightlifter guy is far, far from interesting.

I guess thanks?

This is like when the Gen Z kids say they think I'm cool and I can't tell if they are joking.

@Can_of_corn is hardly "sky is falling". He's more "sky is absurd".

I guess everybody stops to see what happens in a car wreck kind of interesting?

Was able to work with it tonight with some help from the umps and good defense.  As Palmer always says, you're not always going to have your best stuff.  What you're able to do when you don't have your best stuff determines how good of a pitcher you're going to be.

He didn't get any help from the umps, not sure what you're talking about there.

A couple of low balls called.  Looked to me like umps actually called things in O's favor for a change.  Strike 3 on someone was actually a ball.  can't remember who.

The Rizzo pitch? Probably a ball but one that gets called a strike most of the time if it hits that catcher's spot. The ump also missed some strikes. On balance I don't think the ump was a factor.

Tony posted statcast box that showed the pitch was a strike.

[interloper]

He bounced back. Didn't have to be pretty as long as he bounced back.

Tense win all around.

I’m not hitting on you or anything, but you are a big part of the OH community and definitely an interesting poster. Heck, I’ve even streamed music based on your recommendations to the board.  You go nuts every now and then, but that happens to most of us on here from time to time.

This is actually three starts in a row where his fastball command wasn’t good.   But at least he was commanding his other pitches last night.   He was a little fortunate yesterday IMO, but we’ll take it!
