April 1 vs The Royals

[Just Regular]

That's what speed do, unfortunately.

Dairon a preview of EBJ baseball coming to Baltimore in a couple.

Kimbrel's fastball velocity looks to be about 2 MPH slower than last season.

I wish I could say I was optimistic about Hays-Mullins-Westburg walking this off but that combo has been a real black hole tonight.

[Say O!]

Tough inning there, I thought Kimbrel stuff and pitches looked good enough.  Bloop single, gets burned by SBs, sac fly after could have gotten strike 3 on the SB attempt.

Well to be fair Bautista can't either.

But maybe Bautista gets the K instead of the sac fly.

You saved yourself with that second sentence. You know the difference.

[SteveA]

Quatraro made much better use of his elite pinch runner than Hyde did.

Bautista is essentially unhittable

Not good...

The standard Hays weak ground out.

Kimbrel was fine that inning. The blunder was on the D for that bloop.

He wasn't fine, he would have been adequate.

He looked about how I suspected he'd look.

 

[Tony-OH]

Weird, Hays grounded out. 

[dystopia]

Hays sucks

[allquixotic]

We were unable to will Kimbrel into a scoreless inning. Sorry guys  

[Pushmonkey]

Hays needs benched

[TopGunnar]

lol. I promise I won’t be as bad as I was last year with criticizing our players but Austin Hays stinks.
