Peacock should be rested enough to enter this game if it goes deep into extras
Well at least the Astros only K'd 7 times today in the first 9 innings. That is about their 2017 season average. Gattis is looking very...
Erlin is a multi-innings guy so Padres apparently anticipating this one could go deep into extras.
If Marisnick or Fisher come up tonight, they need to bunt. Those guys hve been strikeout machines and they have the speed to leg out a bunt.
The other hard thing to do is give up 3 leadoff doubles in a game and not allow any of those runners to score. Somehow, Cole+Giles+Devo pulled...
I think it was more for rhetorical use with Giles in the manager's office. If Hinch has to officially inform Giles he is no longer the closer, at...
Padres have been TOOTBLANning all season long
This ninth inning should have gone to Rondon. Bullpen's current FIP leader.
That is the first time Correa has ever GIDP'd three times in a game.
The trick will be them being able to hit this weird submariner stuff from Makita. Guy seriously throws a 55mph curveball. Like in a cartoon.
Some of these gifs of the new Padres pitcher (Makita) are a hoot...
Interesting article on that pitcher Yates who just got pulled...
Here's a good link where you can see all the pitch locations:...
Fangraphs did an article on this Padres bullpen. They are seriously underrated. Stammen, Yates, Cimber, Lyles, and then they they've got this...
It's that bone chilling cold that makes you unable to think about anything other than... COLD. Not WS rings, or friends or family, just *cold*.
Salute to the MMP architect for leaving that outfield wall as far back as he did.
DH should never strike out more than 20% of the time. His only job is to hit and advance runners for crying out loud.
Exactly. The cold weather up in Minnesota should help them focus. Enough of the awards and ceremonies for something that happened over 5 months ago.
Stammen's a tough cookie.
I'm curious to see this reliever Makita in action. He releases the ball from nearly ground level. Will be more fun to see it if the Astros can...
