So what are the early thoughts on Melville? Just got home

Pitching a whale of a game, an epic of sorts.

I much prefer 9-0 leads after 1.

Patience...

 

All good things come to those who weight.

 

Or that might be gravity...

Strikes out the side. Now I don't know what to think.

SHHHHHHHHH!

in play, run(s) please

Pitches 7 and 8 from Melville to Abreau were called balls, but both strikes. Pitch 7 the perfect corner of zone, and pitch 8 in the low part but even more in the zone. At least Melville didn't get totally screwed and struck him out anyway. Hard for the ump to get a swinging strike wrong, too.

I am not watching, so i might as well stop making fun of his name...

 

I do like thr fact the automated stuff seems to have trouble identifying his pitches. But "good against remotes is one thing. Good against the living? That's something else." (and i'll feel bad if i missed that quote)

To me, looks like his curve and change are both flying at about the same speed (83 mph or so), and the similarities don't end there...they both tend to hit the ground somewhat before the plate.

 

He's thrown a couple beauties, though. I like his stuff all in all.

Ruh roh

And the bullpen is up...

Well ****. I hate being here when that happens.

very Melvillian

It falls apart

it least that wipes the f**n' smirk off the kids face

Man, who could've ever seen this coming?

 

They're basically punting games with these independent league pitchers. Really irritating when you've been waiting a freaking decade for competent baseball.

I don't see Melville going deep in this game.

I blame you.

I don't see Melville going deep in this game.

Got any lotto numbers you'd care to share?

Looks like it's going to be Turley.

Stuff looks okay, control obviously a problem.

He's taking on water.

I blame you.

I can take it

Gee, Gibson and Slegers lined up for the rest of the series

Well, he had his shot. See ya never again, kid. 

...and Tim Melville was never seen again

"That three-run homerun hurt."

 

Very little escapes Bert.

No room for Verlander.

Clouds are rolling in and the lights are on.

 

Going from a guy with 13.50 ERA to a guy with 15.30 ERA isn't super encouraging.

I think it is a 5 game series with the make up game.....
