Buxton!

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Go win the series tomorrow

 

[Hauvea]

Nice to see us win a couple of tough ones with small ball. We are going to need both styles to win it all.

 

[Hauvea]

Alright Odo. If we aren't going to go out and grab an ace, we are going to need Odo to be for real. Looks like KGB is coming around. If we lose Perez's performance, KGb can slide into his spot. Berrios a solid #2, KGb and Odo solid #3 guys, Perez at #5? Could be worse. Shit. Has been worse. A bonified ace seals the deal here, though. I hope they pull the trigger. We have a shot at it all this year.

 

[Nosferatu]

Throw it down and way and he will swing literally every time.

Reading this my first thought was Greg Gagne...

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Struggling with another soft tossing lefty early on.

Two DPs have kept the pitch count low too.

We need to get back into the overused Rays pen.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Odorizzi has thrown 33 fucking pitches to 5 batters.

If he starts actually giving up hits. He’s gonna go 4 innings max every start

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Perfect pitcher for Buxton tho.


The Sauce is back!

 

[Hauvea]

Next years catchers---- Garver and Astudillo. Good bye Castro. Soon we will be saying "Joe who?"

 

[Hauvea]

Awesome throw Buxton!

 

[Hauvea]

Jesus, Eddie. Come on....

 

[mr.hockey4242]

This asshole ump is calling balls for Odorizzi and giving their guy strikes.

Cron finally shows patience and shoulda walked. A pitch that was a ball was called a strike. Making matters worse is Odorizzi has already had the same pitch called a ball 10 times in 3 innings.

 

[Hauvea]

Nice bunt Polanco!

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Fuck I hope Garver is ok.

He’s staying in for now. But that ball to the wrist wasn’t ideal

 

[Hauvea]

Eddie didn't swing at a one of those. That's gotta be a first, right?

 

[Hauvea]

I love those homers, but its awesome to see this small ball working out. Especially against such a good pitching team as the Rays. Chills me out a bit.

 

[Hauvea]

Odo. An ERA under 2.00. More than a strike out an inning. Is he really this good? No track record of this type of dominance. Is this his break out season?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Schoop comes in 4/5 with 2 homers against this guy.

3 abysmal ABs

Thankfully we haven’t needed them. But my god.

There’s gonna be regression at some point but his pitching is much more sustainable than Perez.

He refined his mechanics this offseason. He had a couple pretty good years in Tampa. Doesn’t give up a lot of hard contact.

His only issue is it takes him so long to get Ks. Usually multiple foul balls.

To a point, yes. But he has never been this good. It is a cut above his past. I hope he holds it. We need it to be the standard. Three quality starters will certainly give us a shot.
