I think it’s a cute thing to say that there’s some kind of advantage to face Cole after Verlander because of similar styles, but I’m pretty sure it’s complete and utter nonsense.
Yeah, unless there is something (highly doubt) going on that we don’t know about, I’m not worried about Pressly at all. Was really good seeing Harris and Osuna start off as well as they did. We will need them in a big way.
I thought a couple more runs would be demoralizing to the Rays. But this is a great win and it’s going to be 2-0 when Cole destroys them tomorrow. Snell can’t get through 3 right now so it will be a pen game for them again.
Pressly hadn't pitched since the 28th...got jobbed by the pissant leadoff single against the shift, then he did give up 2 solid hits and another pissant IF hit. He just needed pitches and batters. If it happens again then we complain.
99 at the knees will do that to the eye. It doesnt help how Glasnow sets up. Hard to see anyting until its halfway to you.... I dont think I'd be quick enough to jump in front of it.
Nearly perfect baseball day. Total perfection (for me) is if The Braves, Yankees and Dodgers all lose.
Glasnow is probably the nastiest pitcher I’ve seen all year outside of Gerritt Cole. 6’8 with that gas is absolutely absurd.
I recorded the game. Except DirecTV didn't record it. I just checked to make sure the channel is working, and it is, they haven't dropped it or anything. They claim there was a satellite error, which is the same thing they claimed the last time I had a chance to record an Astros game. They also claim that a lot if I try to record something from CBS.
