My coworker was throwing it out and I can only hope that he bounced it 30 feet in front of the plate.

Changeup was looking good until that last pitch.

He seems to be using it a lot, and its got some good sink, but he needs to establish the fastball..

Yep.

Guess there’s not much you can do about it, when a bad hitter chases a pitch out of the zone and somehow not only makes contact, but hits it to a spot no one is.

says that they will replay it at 11:35, which seems to coincide with what they’ve done for blacked out preseason games in the past. My DVR does not seem to be aware of this.

so we can see their bullpen in the 8th and 9th.

96 pitches for Santana. We’ll see him in the 8th I guess, then maybe KRod in the 9th. Maybe he can blow a save again.

Biggest thing he needs to work on is efficiency. Would have been nice if he could have at least gone 6.

I’m chalking this up to inexperience and being out of practice. I’m considering him essentially a rookie.

With all the new arms we've picked up

I’m thinking he’s gonna have a hard time cracking the rotation next year. Continuing to have good outings like today though will be in his favor. At the very least, he could be a long reliever and make spot starts in case of injury.
