Cmon Ruf...get going.

5-2 good guys.

Ruf started the season on a serious hot streak. He just got BABIP’d to death that he got NOTHING from his hot streak. Then he legit went cold (totally understandable) and now he looks like he might be barreling up again. Let’s just hope he sees some benefit this time around.

13 pitch inning for Ace. gave up a double but otherwise clean.

Already a better game than yesterday. Now, lets get some runs.

 

[calsnowskier]

I will be watching the game on a delay, so I won’t be participating in the gdt.


Lets take this one home, gentlemen!

 

[tzill]

disappointing FPOM by Stamos there. Could've gotten 20+ pitches out of Adon in the first.

another hit in the second vs Ace. DP erased it tho.

 

[tzill]

Tyro intentionally hit by the Gnats. Warnings to both benches.

 

[tzill]

38 pitches out of Adon through 2.

Still no score.

 

[tzill]

Phuk. Now the ace has crapped the mound.

 

[tzill]

Tyro ties it up.

Ace immediately back in the shit.

Ugh

 

[tzill]

PBF to get out of a bases loaded jam.

Still tied, though I don't know how.

 

[tzill]

Ace with a clean fifth. Maybe he's got another inning in him...

2-2

 

[Mays-Fan]

Doobie!

 

[tzill]

Giants get Ace the lead....right back in the shit.

Right, you're not a lunatic

 

[Mays-Fan]

Let's try to get that run back.

Wait, what?

[tzill]

Very subpar start for the Ace, but he guts through 6 with 3 ER.

Vosbomb and a bunch of singles.

7-3 good guys.

 

[tzill]

Hell of a game for TYRO.

Crapped the mound is a bit harsh, but I am not certain where in the game this was said.

Regardless, this is 2 starts in a row he has looked very un-ace-like. Is this something mechanical or is this the league adjusting to him? Either way, it should be fixable.

Mechanical is just time on the bump with the coaches. No biggie.

The league adjusting to him is more of a core issue, but one that was coming either way. He needs to adjust back. Hard, but again, required either way.
