Friday 6/7 @ Tampa Bay

[Il BuonO]

Well, thx guys. I enjoy popping in now and again.

[SteveA]

Excellent team win.   Solid start by our #5 starter.   Great pen work.   Some excellent defense (Cano, Cowser).   And a fantastic night by the bullpen.

Ask the home plate ump.

I don’t talk to umpires unless I’m ready to get tossed.

 

Actually, that isn’t true. I didn’t argue calls.

Truth!

5 straight series without being swept!

[Gurgi]

Westburg has some real strong forearms.  Really strong.

3-1 count and you need runners on base and you swing.  That would get you benched 10 years ago.  You take til you get 2 strikes.

Why?

He had 7 straight appearances without allowing a hit or a walk before last time out.   

He did hit a batter in one of those.

But that's still 6 clean appearances in the last 8 times out for him.   Why talk about it like it's something rare?

His save % is not good.  He’s a coin flip.

I don't think you know what coin flip means.

If anyone switched to Apple+ after the game, this is pretty intense.  0-0 bottom of the 8th.  2 on 2 outs for Judge.  He is facing Blake Treinen.

Full count, he fouls off a bunch of pitches.

Finally on the 10th pitch of the at bat he walks to load the bases.

2 outs, bases loaded, 0-0, bottom 8th, Stanton up.

Flied out to left.   Scoreless heading for 9th.

I’m not a fan. I have zero confidence in his ability to perform at a high level.  He has had his moments, but he’s often walking a tightrope.  If he’s pitching for us in the playoffs in high leverage situations we are In trouble.

Anyone missing pop culture references right now? Anyone missing that sardonic tone?  Anyone missing story time during late and close games? 
 

A little?

Listen to this. It’s 15 minutes of your life. If you don’t like it, I’ll make arrangements for you to get them back.
