Syndergaard and Strasburg both throwing no hitters going into the bottom of the 5th. WSH is up 1-0

[BTS]

BTS, I trust you're keeping close tabs on the Detroit pitcher today.

 

He seems to have given up 3 runs in 5 innings against the Royals.

You're better than this.

The Yankees woes against the Orioles continue.

 

Villar goes deep to make it 1-0

 

James Paxton balk makes it 2-0

 

Paxton wild pitch makes it 3-0

 

Top of the 2nd.

[Barkerfan23]

Early sample, but batting averages are down further, and strikeouts are up even more. Batting averages down to .233

It's April and cold, dogg.

[P2F]

That's unfair.

There's no doubt that almost every team is using the high fastball to counter the lofted swing approach. Time for the batters to make the adjustment and remind pitchers why they 'used' to try and pepper the bottom half of the strike zone.

[Spanky__99]

lol... O's bullpen suxxxxxxx

 

Torres just hit a 3 run jack, for his 2nd of the day.

[Jimcanuck]

We're talking about Kluber, right? lol

 

Yes, significant decline in swing and miss rate in 2018, gave up a higher hard hit % than the average pitcher for the first time since 2012 in 2018, average fastball velocity in 2018 lowest since 2011. Yes, that Kluber.

[Laika]

That's unfair.

 

Wow, my boy.

Yeah, he's a year older, he's still an ace.

[Jimcanuck]

Yeah, he's a year older, he's still an ace.

 

I never said he wasn't

[Spanky__99]

Klubot knocked around today.... next ace to fall?

 

One start, bro, lol.

 

Nah, he has been in decline

So are we betting?

Victoria has posts with numbers on them and a parking machine in each block. You can use either cash or credit or a reloadable card that you buy from the city. None of the commissionaires lost their jobs when they were installed. Plus, you can fill them from anywhere in the city, so you dont have to run back to your particular machine.

 

Much more efficient.

Oh, the municipal union crap, lol.

No Yankees and Orioles game on a Friday?

 

Okay.... whatever....

Yesterday was Baltimore's home opener, teams without a roof tend to have the next day without a game in case of postponement due to weather on the scheduled opening day.

You can sort his years by adderall/non-adderall. I imagine the effects of having to go off adderall are making his performance even worse then if he was never on it to begin with...

[BTS]

Tim Beckham has 3 errors in the first inning.

What's the record?

Kikuchi probably isn't enjoying his first game in Chicago. I mean, first of all it's Chicago ...

Straily to Loltimore.
