Time for Dutch to explode

Does it seem like they're making a ton of first pitch outs today?

Honestly haven't noticed this.

Holland's at 90+ pitches through 4 1/3, if this helps any.

That was common years ago. Teams didn't have many relievers like today. To much science being implemented into the game. Just not needed. Pitch the hot hand. Not complicated.

If you have someone like Mariano Rivera then there is justification for a closer role. When you don't, you put out your best option to win.

Elvis now leading in batting average and RBI.

Turns out it was only two.

I was bitching about Hamels after the 1st inning. Yep, that was me.

But if you'd told me going into the game after 5 he would've given up 2 runs, with only 76 pitches I'd loved it.

Perhaps I'm just hard to please. That's rhetorical boys. ha

Odor's been on base 3 out of 3 times.

That's a classic "backhanded compliment". But I'm desperate. Thanks

I'm getting the old "Hamels/Odor" double whammy today it seems.....And now Napoli is kicking my ass too!

Split decision on Nap at best

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Hamels with a nice bounce back game so far.

And apparently you don't like the definition of rhetorical?

whatever lights a fire under this team!

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

well that was a waste of a leadoff double.

 

[donaldson79]

This new and improved Hamels I'm really liking, like A LOT.

Ya know, you say this, but at the same time you want to be a seller at trade time.

Can you really straddle the fence for us please?

Is it mandatory that Claudio has to pitch in every frigging game? Swear it seems this way.

Suppose Banny thinks it makes no difference who he runs out there.
