Dude needs to learn how to foul a pitch off...no man should strike out looking against Wade the White's 85 MPH get 'em over ball 

I was referring to this last at bat against Colome, but yes he should swing.

Can't figure out how to get that, but this should be close, total MLB 2018 season:

Starters in innings 8/9: 4.56 ERA

Starters in innings 1-7: 4.21 ERA. 

league era 3rd and 4th time through is 5.67

Thanks! Guessing from bbref? FG doesn't have that stat. With it being that different, I'm guessing FG include starters pitching in relief in theirs. 

[Glen]

Welp.

Ohtani with another amazing start against a lefty.  I would start him every game because of where we are at in the season.  He certainly hasn't earned starting against a lefty.  

[Waybackman]

Here’s where we lose the game. Thanks Upton.

Change those numbers to 1-6 and 7-9 and you’ll see more separation

Lunch Angle

Brilliant. I have to wonder if that was legitimately what Scioscia asked the first time someone spoke to him about it, was that the day Dipoto quit?

Scioscia: "Lunch angle? Lasagna, duh."

Jerry:  "That's it, I'm out."

He shouldn't have come out for the 8th or Mike should have had the quick hook...neither happened

FFS

And if he didn’t come back out for the 8th you guys would be all over mike scioscia for taking him out. Can’t win with some of you guys here.

Well then, um, uh, you showoff! Eat a bag of... 

Kidding. Thanks, appreciate the demo!

I’m looking forward to seeing Cruz exit the AL West

[Glen]

It's gonna happen. And we'll go down without a peep.

[bloodbrother]

Robles gonna spare us of an extra inning game. Thank you for your service

[fan_since79]

Hansel needs to find a girl named Gretel and get the hell out of our bullpen.

 

[Waybackman]

Tie game. Late innings. Bullpen. We lose.

Believe it or not it actually evens them out more, I did it that way first. In any case, Doc gave the real info anyway, and it's more like what I expected.

I wouldn't have...pitches don't matter as the swing they were taking.  Mike Zunino was roping him for God sake.  But our offense is shit so I guess it doesn't matter

[stanick88]

Throw a strike.

I missed it. was it roidy?

No, just barely over the wall in the same place.

[mulwin444]

5 straight balls...awesome 

[101halo]

Why the hell did Scioscia take Heaney out after 86 pitches?!? Doesn't he know what our bullpen can do?? 

[Docwaukee]

you know what's fun?

 

 

not this.  

[Glen]

Doesn't matter who Sosh brings in now, we're doomed.

Um, are you watching Heaney pitch?  Yeah, you don't want him facing Nelson Cruz
