The real game just ended but there's a baseball game on the field tonight

All the emotional investment into the deadline and I completely forgot that actual baseball would be played today.

For someone who isn’t funny, you’re pretty funny…

Is there an echo in here?

Is Gaus gassed? First one could be accounted for his wife’s pregnancy difficulties, but he’s been bad recently.

 

[tzill]

He's gone from legit CY candidate to #6 starter now.

If he can't right the ship, we are phuked.

 

[filosofy29]

Sounds like what happened to Timmy, he’s got to adjust. People are just laying off the splitter because it won’t be a strike.

If he has gone from ace to #6, we have zero chance of winning the division.

I really hate baseball sometimes.

We can always trade for a starter oh wait no we can't

This is what scares me about our pitching. Too many guys with just one or two pitches. In a playoff series with repeated views these guys will get figured out. At least Cueto isn't that

Well if we needed a replacement for Gaus, the only one was Mad Max. There weren’t any other Gaus-like pitchers on the market from a stats perspective. If he’s gone, we’d be toast anyway, even with another #2.5 or 3.

He's not "gone" but I'd rather he be a #2 than a #1

God I fucking hate Correa.

Some fantasy baseball bot came up with the name Framber, right?

I mean, that cannot be a real name.

 

[tzill]

Interesting approach by Framber....he's throwing "strikes."

Seems like we should get the analytics guys on this idea...

 

[filosofy29]

Just what we needed, a 7 pitch inning after that long first for Gaus. Way to go boys!

Dodgers series seem to take us out for a couple games after

Welcome back Gaus, never doubted you for a minute! That’s what we call picking up the 1/2/3 hitters.
