He's safe. Nice try by Ozzie though. Good throw had him.

Only thing Flowers is good at is pitch framing.

Only thing Flowers is good at is pitch framing.

He's better at throwing out runners than Suzuki, but both are pretty bad at that.

 

[Chewbaccer]

God damnit, Ozzie. There's nothing wrong with taking a walk.

2 weak popups to start the game.

 

[Chewbaccer]

5 of 6 games have been against lefties.

 

[Hitman Hart]

My cable went out about 10 mins before 1st pitch. But I cant take much more of Julio

Julio just isn't a good SP anymore.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Julio just isn't a good SP anymore.

He Wont be on the team next year.

 

[Chewbaccer]

One thing I'll say about Julio.

He's by far our best hitting pitcher.

 

[Hitman Hart]

what a great AB by Julio

 

[Chewbaccer]

Julio just isn't a good SP anymore.

Seems like everytime I say that, he throws 6 shutout innings his next start. With his inconsistency, you'd think he was a 21 year old rookie, but he was a better pitcher as a rookie than he is at 27.

what a great AB by Julio

Julio is the only pitcher we have that I feel like ever has a chance of getting a hit in spots like that. He doesn't have any power, but he almost always puts the ball in play.

Folty is eventually gonna run into a 420 foot homer the way he swings, but his contact percentage is always gonna be extremely low with that all out swing.

 

[Chewbaccer]

He Wont be on the team next year.

I'm not so sure about that. He doesn't have much trade value, and he has too many years left to give him the Dan Uggla treatment.

If he's our 4th starter, I'm fine with that.

 

[Chewbaccer]

I don't wanna jinx it, but looks like Julio has settled down a bit. He just blew Realmuto away.

 

[Chewbaccer]

FREDDIE!!!

 

[Chewbaccer]

We really need to win tonight to have a shot at the series.

You never know what you're gonna get with a pitcher making his MLB debut(if the game is even played tomorrow. Forecast doesn't look good)

 

[Chewbaccer]

JOHAN!!!

And props to Flowers for drawing another walk. He's scored twice. As much shit as we give him, his OBP is ridiculously high for a dude hitting .230.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Finally hitting this Chen dude like everyone else has.

 

[Chewbaccer]

But Julio walks Bour to start the inning after getting a 2 run lead...

 

[Chewbaccer]

Got out of it.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Yeah, that was the same spot as strike 2, but neither strike 1 nor strike 2 were actually strikes.
