[yourout]

Lyles will not make 5 innings.

 

Fake news

 

 

Reverse jinx.

[willie key]

After tomorrow. The A’s need to get hot. Cards and cubs coming up

[B-Train]

JJ warming up

[willie key]

The brewers have been doing s terrible job of putting pitches on starting pitchers arms lately

[Fear The Chorizo]

After tomorrow. The A’s need to get hot. Cards and cubs coming up

 

Shouldn't be too difficult - they are a better team than anyone in the NL Central right now...

[yourout]

JJ warming up

 

Ugg...

[willie key]

All that freaking noise sounds like a high school football game in which the home team has an enrollment of 124 kids.

No more extra inning games - don't want to wear out their staff. Beat them twice - tick them off, but do it quickly too.

This is absolutely stunning because I watch a lot of games with the game cast on to see pitch location after the fact. He's had prolonged bouts of swinging at garbage for at least the last 3 years where he went in the tank. The moment he started taking bad pitches he got hot.

 

His OSwing% (% swung at pitch outside the zone) the last three years:

 

2017 38%

2018 36.3%

2019 38.9%

 

He's been above 36% since 2014.

Drew Pomeranz can't get here fast enough!

 

 

 

 

 

umm, sentences I never thought I'd say for 100, Alex

[TigerUppercut]

Get him out.

[long ball]

woof

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Barf JJ .... pure barf. His stuff has been so hittable this year.

He instills confidence in the hitters.

[willie key]

At least he didn’t walk anyone

[stoutdude04]

Not sure who they should have gone to... but JJ is not a high leverage pitcher currently.

[pacopete4]

Starting to wonder if JJ makes it to the end of the year.

Hey, that is part of my old high school conference... It was the Southern 8 when I was in high school though, no idea how those teams are all split up these days. I went to Platteville.

[B-Train]

Barf JJ .... pure barf. His stuff has been so hittable this year.

 

His breaking stuff must be so easy to see - not a lot of bite.

you beat me to it...lol

[Eye Black]

The bullpen pitching well and shortening games (for the most part) felt like such a huge advantage last year and a very important element of the team’s success. This year has been much more of a “hold your breath and hope” type of experience.

[HarveysWBs]

Oh, the lifespan of major-league relievers these days. They’re like fruit flies and NFL running backs.

[TigerUppercut]

Watch Braun work a 12 pitch at bat here.
