Wow, that’s some guts pitching right there. That’s gotta be it for the kid.

that's a major league fastball though - he had to throw a ton of them in hittable locations and they could not square him up. You can't teach that.

[chasfh]

They go 14 pitches, 9 pitches, 6 pitches against us.

We go one pitch, one out.

Bleah.

He took the sweater off, so hoo boy

He’s also getting effective separation from his secondary pitches.

[mtutiger]

Not a big fan of this lol

[chasfh]

Well, hello, Beau.

[gehringer_2]

#9ok, but I wouldnt let him face the top of the order again

[chasfh]

Two outs in the fifth—now it’s his last hitter.

[chasfh]

Great five innings by the kid. Nice shot in the arm for the team. 

[romad1]

Kid has pitched well.  

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

and he cruised right through it. nice.

[mtutiger]

Boy, that was faster than expected!

[gehringer_2]

wow- Kid was just shovelin' and prayin' there but got through it.

[Jim Cowan]

OK 90 pitches is more than enough 

[gehringer_2]

Potential there but he needs to get better command of the off-speed.

The only real downside is the lack of swing and miss... But idk, its his second start and he seemed to be struggling with his command a bit at the end

[chasfh]

Two Hall of Famers facing off. Enjoy this sight.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

7 pitches for Barnes to cut down the meat of the order. excellent.

[mtutiger]

Two best bullpens by ERA facing off lol (although Dodgers clearly better)

[chasfh]

This has been a Bizarro World-level of performance by the Tiger bullpen.  Lowest ERA in baseball, third in FIP? I don’t know when I last saw something like this. That 21st in xFIP might be a little concerning, though …

[gehringer_2]

nobody sustains at 0.3 whip. Maybe this guy is due for a little regression.

I'd be down

[chasfh]

Jesus, when was the last time a position player struck out on three foul bunts?

[gehringer_2]

geez - Hill can't get a bunt down in three tries. Probably won't see that again this year...

Only 2 inches off the plate ump. Fu ump
