[Farmbuildingfan]

Now seems like only Neto has a chance to come back before September.

[Angel Oracle]

Canning doesn’t have it early.

Much better to be aggressive than work the pitch count, get in a 0-2 hole, and then watch the Doyers trot out shut down relievers .

Sigh...

Martinez is hot. Canning is not.

This is a horribly shitty take. 

[Biergott]

Throw below the zone and try to get calls like the doyers get

We may not win the game doggone it, but Blarg and Strad will be happy if we win the pitch count.

Only to guys who never played ball past the little league age.

Anthony Rendon spotted walking his dog today.

I guess the video cut off before the injury

[fan_since79]

Too early for perfect game alert?

We appear to be dead at the plate.

[Jason]

Gonsolin only 25 pitches through 3. Yikes 

[JAHV76]

Canning warming up for the all star home run derby 

[fan_since79]

Death by solo-home-run cuts.

 

[Revad]

Canning under control, just a solo home run per inning.

[Jason]

Canning throwing BP tonight 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Gofer ball after Gofer ball

Except 3 runs is a lot to ask of this line up 

[Angel Oracle]

Might want to stop throwing the curve tonight.

Anyone who has ever held a bat at the plate is up there looking for a pitch they can drive, and if they get it, swinging.  Only a moron would stand there looking to work the pitch count.

No one gets signed by working the pitch count.

No one gets big FA $ because they have a reputation for working the pitch count.

It's still ten million times better than the Mayfield's, Lagares, Duffy days of yesteryear.

Every lead off hitter looks to work the count. Players are valued for putting themselves in hitters counts. These are facts. You are spouting your normal nonsense.
