One is posting, trying to save face. The same guy who, just yesterday, said that Yanier doesn’t have the intelligence to play major league baseball.
George Springer has 202 ABs and 13 RBIs, batting .213. Correa has 4 HR and 20 RBIs. We dodged some serious bullets there.
Ball off the calf in the 2nd inning. He pitched the 3rd but had to labor a little likely due to swelling.
He was at 64 pitches after 3. So he was definitely struggling to some degree. Still you don't pull a pitcher after 3 IP and 64 pitches.
The line drive off his calf was affecting him a bit. It was taxing for him to finish the 2nd and 3rd so no need to risk him when up 5
My guess is they didn’t want a repeat of the usual BS where he or Brown runs into a crooked number inning and suddenly it’s tied or we are losing. It didn’t look like Arrighetti was fooling anyone in the 4th.
Arighetti, Bregman, Myers, Caratini, Altuve all hit by batted balls in their lower extremities tonight, Tucker yesterday
His command and velocity noticeably tailed off after he got hit in the calf. Even tough he gave up the solo HR, his stuff was electric to start the game.
