Keuchel struggling in the first again.

juliogotay · « **Reply #1 on:** June 27, 2018, 01:24:12 pm »

Down by 3 now with one out and runners on the corner.

Good grief.

hostros7 · « **Reply #3 on:** June 27, 2018, 01:26:43 pm »

The return of “good Keuchel” certainly was a fleeting moment.

Wow, Keuchel. 5 runs now. Pathetic.

Tell me more about how those should have been ours, Dallas.

Either batting practice or an artillery barrage. Could not tell which.

hostros7 · « **Reply #9 on:** June 27, 2018, 01:38:50 pm »

Four hits against Dallas exceeded an exit velocity of 101 in the top of the 1st, probably because of the shift.

Gattis missed a 3 run homer by a couple feet and settles for a double that drives in 2.

Those were soft 101s.

Keuchel pitches now have the movement that was absent in the first. Easy peasy 1-2-3 inning.

It's a fuckin' mystery.

Please, let there be a nagging back or neck issue that will benefit from some DL time.

Because otherwise he seems like the type of mess that won't get sorted out this season.

I'm thinking some sort of VR system that would get him through a virtual 1st inning.

Sparks theorizing too that he'll get more time off in Florida, given the astroturf and all.

Alex Baseball leads off with a double (again), Jose and Yuli leave him there (again) but El Oso Blanco doubles Alex in and we're 5-4 Canadians through 5.

Catcher was set up inside, where the first two were, but it was out over the plate. You could see Maile drop his head. Tepera not only missed his spot, he practically hit the bat with the pitch.
