First of all, this post didn't age well. Second of all, how can you say they hadn't "poured it on"? They scored 2 in the first, 4 in the second, and 2 more in the third. Im pretty sure thats the definition of pouring it on.
Extrapolating that out we will clinch the division on either game 116 or 117, which is probably sometime in early August. That will be nice on the late season blood pressure.
I’m not sure if he did, but he DID give up homeruns on back to back pitches to Yelich and Braun last year in our second home game of the season! Not this guy. We had an arcenio leon in 13 and 14 in Huntsville and nashville though.
I mean it's possible for a 7 pitch strike out the side without quirky rules. Pitcher a comes in gets 2 strikes but leaves hurt, pitcher b comes in and finishes the inning on 7 pitches.
The good news is that last year after rough first innings Peralta usually settled in nicely. Hopefully he just had some nerves and he can settle in for the next...180 innings
