Strike zone is really big tonight. That was just really bad all around.
Descalso got robbed right after as well.
A good-hitting Nick Ahmed is a goddamn revelation
Ump's zone is preeeetty bad here

I just feel if Joc was seen that Greinke was aiming to that corner and the ump is giving that spot to the pitcher why not protect? He never took the bat off his shoulder. (4 of his 5 pitches were basicslly in the same spot)
Wow Greinke with more hits than the entire Dodgers team.
the cubs are still projected to win like 6-7 more games than arizona, and the nationals should put it together eventually. arizona is a good team though, and i'd say they're the favorites for the division now
Throwing arm. He had a couple of bad throws this past week. Gave him a rest for a couple of games.
I saw his stat line for today's game and did a double take. Ridiculous numbers today and he's been spectacular for the Brewers from what I've seen. Definitely needed that with Knebel down, but their bullpen has picked up and been great without him.
The complete opposite of the Royals 2018 bullpen which is Herrera, who was bounced back really nicely so far this year, and, then, a bunch of nothing.
Hitting Peralta was some bs. I don't put anything past the dodgers to try and even the playing field.
Smh you jinxing it. Now Ahmen and Pollock is going to get injured
Padresing confirmed. Hand looked completely awful there. He couldn't find the strike zone through what, 40 pitches?
Thankfully Peralta is day-to-day.
Pollock gets injured for breakfast, going by the last few years!

Lol so true. As a keeper league owner of him, it was frustrating because when healthy he was useful. But he was always injured
I always knew he was going to be a light hitting utility infielder.
... Although I was ok with trading away Alex Wood at the time. I really thought Hector Olivera would be something. Boy was I wrong on that one. Got to see him play Outfield for that opening series in DC, probably the worst Outfielder I have seen play MLB. Matt Kemp had no range but he knew what he was doing. Hector looked like a deer in headlights out there.
If Austin Riley turns out to be good, then it won't be half bad.
Olivera might have been good, who knows, if he could keep his hands off women.
He was never an OFer, and that experiment was massively stupid.
That was the Kimbrel trade though.
AFAIK, we now have no assets from the Wood trade with us or turned into anything. Well, I guess in one roundabout way it got us McCarthy, who has been decent.
It's crazy that he's the 5th starter on that rotation AND that before the season started that was a perfectly justifiable place for him.
Ah yeah you are right. The pick from this trade was used for Joey Wentz. Less hopeful on him.
Him, too. He's way off though.
Good problem to have. Figure one of the vets will be trade bait at the deadline or released depending on how it goes. Better question might be what they do about Teheran. Dude is due 11 large next year and he's frustratingly inconsistent.
11 large is still not bad for someone like Teheran. He's only really frustrating if you are still looking at him as a #1. If you consider him to be a #3 starter it's a lot less maddening, because that's about what he is.
You can do that when you mysteriously start throwing 99 at age 32
Honestly, I thought that was a little weird too. It's not like he touches 99 once in a while, guy hovers in the high 90's all game. He's consistently increased velo every year.
It feels like we have a full rotation of #3 guys at times. Nuke looking good, Folty has emotional issues.
He stopped throwing 2 seamers and sinkers and started to extend more on his 4 seamer. He already threw sinkers and 2 seamers at 93-94, so it isn't unfathomable to get another 4-5 mph on a straight 4 seamer with those changes.
Having a bunch of #3 starters isn't a bad thing. There's probably 10 or so MLB teams that dont even have 1 or 2 #3 types in their rotations. Or you could be the Rangers, who have a rotation full of #5 starters or worse.
He's certainly an anomaly though. Sonny Gray's sinker hovers around 93, as does his 4 seamer and I think Sonny has better stuff than Morton (but Morton has been the better pitcher lately). But anyway, good for him. It rejuvenated his career.
Max Scherzer has emotional issues. He's fine. Need to stop listening to Chip and Joe.
