pitch count sky high..he may make 4

23 pitches is high, but not ridiculously so.

[Roy Firestone]

Rondon is the best they have.

Gonna be a LONG day offensively. Not that this offense was doing much coming into today lately anyway.

[elextrano8]

I feel like umps are being more aggressive on checked swings this year, though I haven’t seen one that was actually wrong

[Dunk35]

Our offense sucks lately 

[LGOrioles]

Adley continuing to chase like crazy compared to the last 2 years. Not what you expect from him.

Basically because of the catchers interference and all, Bradish threw an extra 14 pitches. Instead of 5-6 innings, I think 4-5 is now the expectation.

It seems like the entire team has a different approach this season. They're no longer patient and they're swinging away much more aggressively. Mountcastle is the only player I've seen become more patient, but considering how aggressive he's been in his career, that's not saying alot.

[Roy Firestone]

I'm ok , but not thrilled with a split in this series..

[Billy F-Face3]

This umpire is not good for my anger management.

Makes me think it came from something in the analytics office.

[Billy F-Face3]

Bradish is making really good pitches in the edge of the strike zone and the umpire is calling them balls.

[Moose Milligan]

Bradish looks good so far, outside the elevated pitch count.  

That strike 3 was awesome.

[Billy F-Face3]

Finally a good call on the edge

[dtk9119]

Finally get a call.
