No reason why we shouldn't take 2 out of 3 against the O's trash pitching.

Grichuk benched for tonight’s game

Maybe move Pearce to first and play Grichuk with Morales hurt.

None of those pitches were in the strike zone

Post #11 » by **JaysRule15** » Mon Apr 9, 2018 11:39 pm

What a horrible AB by Travis. Not a single pitch in the strike zone.

Lateral Quicks · Post #12 » by **Lateral Quicks** » Mon Apr 9, 2018 11:39 pm

Travis just struck out in a 7 pitch at bat where not a single strike was thrown.

Bases loaded, you gotta be resting your bat on your shoulder.

1st and 3rd month out no runs spuds righr

Ugghh... huge missed opportunity right there.

Travis is in some kind of funk. Hopefully he snaps out of it soon like he did in May last year.

Yeah, not sure why he was even swinging at those fastballs way inside. Even if you make contact, it's gonna be weak and not anywhere near the barrel.

He's a wee bit of a mess, yeah. Tonnes of strikeouts, plus a hard contact rate of "basically never".

We're apparently competing to see who can strand the most runners with none/one out.

Smoak had back to back pitches down the pipe and couldn’t pull the friggin trigger. Geeze
