Haven't been on in a while. This whole K barrage thing is startling, I don't understand it at all. You have to think this turns sooner rather than later.
Bregman is only batter who's K% isn't up this year versus last year. Aoki and Beltran may not have been able to hit, they didn't K as much as their replacements have.
Yea this strikeout rate is really the only thing that concerns me. Pitching looks great, some unlucky balls in play, but man when we strikeout this much it reminds me of 2016
Gattis needs to be benched after that. Don't know why he's in the middle of the lineup anyway and Gurriel isn't playing against the lefty.
It’s not how you start... its how uncle Charlie finishes and shuts down a team in game 7 to win the World Series. I actually wouldnt’ change a damn thing unless its an obvious one (like Keuchel or LMJ being inconsistent the entire season, and can’t be as relied upon). Otherwise, if Keuchel regains form, having a lefty starter is still valuable enough especially against lefty-heavy lineups. Verlander, Cole, Keuchel.... with Morton being the alternate or tandem starter/finisher.
FB coach was trying to get his attention on the replay, Gattis just was brain dead there and not paying attention
