Ugh.  To start out an inning so well and then have this.

 

Ugh, ugh, ugh.

An argument can be made that this is not an enhancer at all.  Some people suffer from an abnormally high level of adrenaline when they are under stress.  Inderal takes them back to a more normal level of adrenaline.  It does not make them stronger or faster.  And in the case of a musician, it does not make him/her play any better than in rehearsal.

 

My sense is that Inderal is benign and should be allowed.  I am wondering what makes you think that it is bad.  Have you seen musicians suffer and side effects?

Yes, it does do good under certain conditions ... anxiety disorders, for instance. But to use in 'normal' situations, just to control 'normal' nerves is not really what they should be used for. And in those situations, they are not being used to control a diagnosed condition, but rather being used as a performance enhancer. If you can't handle the conditions of a performer without medicating, you should consider a change if profession.

Poor May...

Well it looks like he sucks. Next.

C'mon kid.  Just relax and throw it.

Trevor you can't fall off to the side like that

When he throws a fastball... He's trying to throw it 95 and he ain't got 95.

 

Over compensating on everything.

 

He's gotta line up with the catcher... Keep his body together... Release top of the shoe and follow through.

Come on kid.  52 pitches in 1.2 innings. just throw like its any other game

I could use and Inderol right now.

His front foot is landing all over the place.

Why in the hell is Fryer playing and not Suzuki? Seems like for the debut of a fairly important pitching prospect, you'd want to have the main catcher in there. They just extended his contract and talked about how they like how he calls a game and how the pitching staff loves him...and he's not playing tonight?!

 

There's walk number six for May and he hasn't even thrown two innings. Kid is clearly jittery and out of whack

Hopefully Meyer is better than this

A Bert Blyleven debut it wasn't.

Fryer has caught him before.

If you were an Olympic athlete, you'd be disqualified.

Apparently because he was used to Fryer catching him in Rochester and Suzuki has to catch Hughes tomorrow.

 

But I agree, they talk so much about how Suzuki calms down pitchers, etc. you'd think they could have used him tonight.

That last out can be a tough one

Hopefully Meyer is better than this

Nearly everyone is better than this.

Gibson had some rough starts too. It's not doomsday yet.

Does he go back out for the 3rd?

May is better than this.  He is going to need to relax.  Hopefully he can do that at Target Field next week.

I'm sure there have been worse debuts in the history of the game but they don't matter much to me right now.

 

Uff Da.

Growing pains.

Does he go back out for the 3rd?

 

I think they need to talk with him between innings and ask about his fatigue level.  He has thrown a lot of pitches in two innings.

Gibson had some rough starts too. It's not doomsday yet.

If he remembers how to throw a baseball he'll be fine. Right now he looks like random guy off the street throwing real hard at a dunking booth.

Does he go back out for the 3rd?

I wouldn't... For his sanity.

Alright... Come What May!!!

Just came back online in the bottom of the second, and this comment was a little too, uh, prescient.

We need some revenge runs this inning.  

Dudeuno.... oh no!

Meyer had a pretty rough night tonight, too although it sounds like his control was better .... but Indianoplis scored 4 off him in 2 innings.  Of course, Indy has scored 14 so far tonight.

 

May had a tough place for a debut, though.  A really good team on the road.  Cross-country flight with lots of time to think about it.  Family and friends there.

 

Give him a mulligan for this one.
