I thought Thielbar's fastball was around 94-95 (with his new approach/arm slot)? So far between his two appearances I've seen 89-91.

 

He didn't even throw that hard when he was actually a decent pitcher for a year and a half.

A lot of early runs tends to do that I guess.

Sure they do, but last years teams would burry teams when they got up early. This team (sans the one game in Chicago) has yet to do that this year. Seems like they are content being up 3 or 4 runs, and tries to flip a switch if/when it is needed again.

Soft schedule, will be interesting to see how this all goes. 10 of 17 coming up against the royals, coming off of 4 with the pirates. Not exactly the gauntlet

Why does this feel like this game is being treated like a throw away game?

 

Well Smeltzer started, Thielbar pitched, Cruz is on the bench, Arraez is on the bench, Sano is the 3 hitter...

Garver's in instead of Avila....

 

Okay that was a bit nasty, I'll slap myself on the wrist for that one.

Well Sano is batting less than .150 and Garver less than .125...

Sano is striking out at a 50% clip so far too. Or 49% at least, to start the day.

LOL. Morris didn't know scoring rule for extra innings, either.

Way to take your job seriously, Jack. Great respect for your audience, too.

You throw ten scoreless in game seven and gosh darn it, you can do what you want
