Espinal gets the worst calls against him.

I hope we’re back to discussing baseball however! Leave politics for the politicians.

One of the weaker lineups we've put out in a while with no Kirk/Springer, Merrifield leading off and Tapia also out there. Hope that's not a consistent thing.

Right down the middle jesus Jose does not have it all tonight.

Lineup doesn't much matter if Berrios is going to continue his terrible performance this season.

Some games he just doesn't miss any bats and looks like he's throwing BP out there lmao

Seems to coincide with his road games. He's got an ERA around 7.50 in such games this year now.

This inning alone Berrios has given up 3 balls over 100 mph exit velo and another at 98 mph.

Given that Berrios looks no closer to finding consistent form, Stripling's injury is gonna prove to be a major issue for this team going forward. Again, very obviously should have traded for another SP.

Pete Walker ruined berrios

You just can't trust Jose in a playoff series man. He's so prone to these absolute disasters and basically loses you the game himsel (flashback to 2015 RA Dickey vs KC).

The maligned tapia dig haha. It’s personal with you.

The twins jumped at berrios weak fastball that inning. Walker the pitching genius has him throwing it more this season.

2015 Dickey was much better than this guy. Hopefully Stripling gets healthy and White continues pitching well.

He's throwing fewer fastballs than last year: 54.6% in 2022, 56.3% in 2021.

This game is still within reach.
