Despite the quality start record... he is a box of chocolates... you may get the best truffle in your life or a piece that sends you to the ER with anaphylaxis due to an allergic reaction
And yet ironically the ALCS is where he’s done the “best”. One great WS… and one awful WS skewing his career stats (2021 WS was bad for all Astros pitchers if you really want to cherry pick playoff stats). He’ll go down as the franchise leader in playoff starts, wins, strikeouts, and will always have sole possession of being a winning starting pitcher in a clincher.
Damnit Pena. He's had some off throws this series. Yesterday with bad throw to Dubie at 1st and today.
Was the game 1 bullpen explosion enough to course-correct the Orioles offense? Wacky game of baseball…
Pena needs to go back and watch some tapes/video of how Correa used to flip it for altuve. literally underhand belt/tummy high level. by the time altuve catches it, it's at altuve's head level (not saying altuve is short. it's just whenever you underhand a ball, it usually rises a little higher than where you throw)
Harken back to Wednesday night and the low point of the season, we already lost the opening game to the lowly White Sox, we're a whopping 10 games back of Seattle and the weekend matchups for both teams don't portend anywhere close to our favor. And now if the scores hold up, we will have gained 4 games in 5 days. Baseball can be a very crazy game.
