Its going to give the moronic talking heads on ESPN something to talk about for the next 2 days...over and over. Pathetic showing by the entire team, coaching on down. Just totally pathetic.
We haven't played a meaningful game since April 4th. And it showed...Orlando has been playing for their playoff lives for 3 full weeks. Our players weren't ready...thats coaching. Terrible job.
The NBA playoff format sucks. Our reward for being the 1 seed is to sit for a week and go cold. But as long as they let 9 and 10 seeds play for meaningless extra playoff TV money, that's all that matters.
Usually...usually but not always...usually power hitters sacrifice power for more contact. But Riley really is still young and not a finished product. I like what i've seen from him so far this season.
Ever since i've followed baseball, power hitters always struck out a lot. But 200 times a season? No, he needs to cut that down to 170 or less. He's still a young player and seems highly intelligent so I think he may be able to do it.
Strikeout pitchers from the past in today's game would strikeout an unbelievable amount of hitters. Players didn't strikeout as much in the 50's and 60's. So the pitchers who were leading the league would have many more strikeouts in today's game. Or... maybe not...🤔🤔
The kid has the start of the day off. A good LH bat to come off the bench with the bases loaded, one out and down by a run in the 8th inning. After he hits a bases clearing double, he can take off the rest of the day. 😅
If somebody would have told me that day that someday Porcello would pitch for the Red Six (and win a Cy Young), I would have thought they were crazy. Hey, he's still only 38 years old, give him a call...😅😅
I thought it was a typo...Crochet...with a 7.58 ERA. But then I saw the Twins lit him up for 10 Earned Runs in 1.2 innings. Hopefully, we dont get a mad Crochet...
I'll miss the end of this game with the Piston playoffs starting at 6:30. With the Boston SP going against our LH hitters, it may be ugly. Maybe Lee will get another chance? Hope he's settled down and the game slows down for him.
