Title: Houston @ Baltimore July 23 2017
Post by: Texifornia on July 23, 2017, 01:17:07 pm
McCullers can't find the plate with a map and a lantern.

B2 0 out, bases loaded, 1-0 B'More.

A double play scores another, an Adam Jones single scores a third run, and finally Machado strike out to stop the bleeding.

End 2: 3-0 B'More

McCullers has been bad since coming off the DL. 

Is that just anecdotal on my part, or do the stats back that up?

Altuve evens it up with a three run jack!

It is not your imagination. He has a few weeks to get back on track or it won't make much difference what pitcher they can obtain by the deadline. C'mon Lance.

To me, it's always seemed like he's walking a tightrope, but in the past he's been able to avoid falling off. The last three starts he hasn't even been able to climb on.

Dear Lance,

Please stop sucking.

Thank you.

Ron Darling on TBS (still an asshole) was talking about his composure on the mound.

If Altuve slides straight into the plate, as is his right, he is probably safe.

Never let them see you get upset, words to that effect.

Solid play by the O's catcher there.

And on the DL.  The catcher's left leg placement was definitely questionable.

Just when you think that McCullers might have found himself, he regresses.

Great play by Marisnick. I hope he's ok.

Another 4 2/3 effort by Mccullers. Outstanding.

At this point, I'd consider sending *him* down to work on shit in Fresno when Keuchel comes back.

The ball kept carrying and carrying. It may have gone out if Marisnick did not catch it.

McCullers has no clue where the ball is going right now.  At least there's a week to the deadline so Lunhow can intensify his search for a top of the rotation starting pitcher.

He's such a good bench option.  Never gives away at bats and makes pitchers work.
