He jammed his finger on Tuesday, took him out of the game. When he got to 25 pitched it must have stiffened and he lost the feel for the fastball. [Reply]
No sense in burning anyone else. Kid's gotten a double play ball and a bunny hop to 3b.
Pallante has looked fine. I mean, he stepped onto the mound scared shit out of his mind, but he still looks decent enough.
Just get the last out and lick your wounds I guess. That was pretty rough.
that all makes sense. But the kid looks defeated. Not sure what it helps to pile on at this point. Also, it was still just 4-2 when I posted that. [Reply]

Helsley looked great until the last 6 pitches of the inning.
He carved them up in the 8th, threw a nasty pitch 3-2 to retire the leadoff guy, threw two pitches right where he wanted them on 2-2 and 3-2 to Harper.
He just came unglued in the span of 6 pitches. That's not on the manager.
If there's anything to blame Ollie for it's the defensive alignment with the bases loaded. I just don't think you bring the infield in there. You play for the double play. [Reply]

He’s been a little leaky since the all star break. [Reply]

He had no idea where his fastball was going [Reply]

He was good. No one squared him up. He had the double play ball. No one hit the ball over 88 mph.
This is on Ollie not pulling a pitcher that you know is injured. He doesn’t miss like this all season. You have to know it’s the jammed finger on his pitching hand. [Reply]

I was responding to the point he was leaky after the AS break, Im well aware it doesn't mean anything right now. [Reply]
