No problem
Valverde struck out his first hitter, Jay Bruce, (then walked) Encarnacion on four pitches
The back may have played a role during Encarnacion’s plate appearance.
“It’s the same problem with my back — not too much, a little bit,” Valverde said. “Everything was fine after that.”
He’s fine,” Cooper said. “He was hitting 94, 95 [mph]. That tells me he’s fine.”
Fine, fine, just fine…except for the 2 run homer. Which would have been a 1 run homer if not for the walk.
Roy is kinda pissy
“I thought they made me throw the ball over the plate,” Oswalt said. “We [the offense] had some quick innings. A lot of times I felt like I put my hat down and I had to go back out. It was a battle. I threw some quality pitches when I needed it. I don’t know what else you want.”
Pressed for more, Oswalt said simply, “I battled. You throw as much as you can throw, and then answer questions after.”
