Will Kikuchi be able to build on a very solid 1st appearance?

 

Looks like the majority of the regulars have the day off.

Good test for kookoochee

 

MLB lineup

MLB lineup

 

33 pitches his first outing, probably lookingat ~45 this time out. Hopefully 3 innings. I'll be watching to see if he continues to shelve the cutter, which has been a garbage ptich for him the past few years and increase the changeup usage.

[Spanky99]

This game isn't televised, folks?!

Nope, Toronto radio only. Baltimore doesnt even have it on the radio let alone TV.

[Pendleton]

Some of our fans are calling for a 12 month per year high performance lab, and Baltimore can't send someone down to Walmart for a camera and tripod

[Jays24]

Kudos to you for looking at that lineup and still creating a game thread lol.

[John_Havok]

Its all about the Kikuchi, Barger and Lopez today. Good to see Otto back in there after limping off the field in his last game.

[John_Havok]

Wont even have pitch fx to see what pitches guys are throwing. Man Baltimore is such a useless franchise.

[John_Havok]

3 pitch K to Mullins. 1 called and 2 swigning strikes.

[Grant77]

The radio guys think Kikuchi looks great so far.

[John_Havok]

Yeah, since theyre playing in a stone age park without any modern equipment, all gameday can tell is is how many pitches were thrown and what the result was. Cant even tell if they are fastballs, sliders or changeups.

 

5 pitch inning though, 3 pitch K to Mullins, first pitch flyout, first pitch ground out.

Gameday doesn't count balls in ST, just listen to the game on MLB.com it's free, I believe.

 

Here's the link, gives you the pitch count etc... https://www.mlb.com/tv/g719331/ve514dcba-6b58-4746-a400-1c8e4f9744f1#game=719331,tfs=20230301_180500,game_state=live,game_tab=plays

[Spanky99]

Biggio's starting out the Spring on a heater, and he's playing a lot. Like almost like he's being showcased? Hmm...

They did for the first two Jays hitters... weird.

So some guy is watching the game and entering the data and he's like "f*** this - I'm only doing strikes"

lol... basically. They had Kooch at 14 pitches through 4 batters and it just disappeared now, it's always f***ed.

[Spanky99]

Zach Thompson K's the side...

 

Immaculate Inning... 9 pitches 9 strikes!

 

It was actually about a 15 pitch inning.

[Laika]

So some guys is watching the game and entering the data and he's like "f*** this - I'm only doing strikes"

 

yeah

every K will be three strikes

every walk will just be four balls

every ball in play will be one pitch

[Laika]

too bad we don't really get any info on Kikuchi other than the radio guys saying he looked good + resulting BB and K numbers

[Terminator]

Good outing by Thompson. Got 5 swing and misses that inning which is probably approaching a record for him. He needed that.

[Spanky99]

too bad we don't really get any info on Kikuchi other than the radio guys saying he looked good + resulting BB and K numbers

 

Yeah, it suxxxxxx he's basically given up 1 infield hit 2 BB's with 7 K's through 4 innings so far, still good to see.

[Brownie19]

yeah

every K will be three strikes

every walk will just be four balls

every ball in play will be one pitch

 

Is this a cost cutting exercise? Only need to pay him $10/hr if he only records strikes! Or is he doing like 4 games at once - hence the need to keep it simple and only record the basics? Probably the later eh. If so - this guy must be 'thrilled' with the new pitch clock. Maybe JaysAllMighty is doing this job? That would explain a lot.

[Spanky99]

Look at that no hitter alert up on the boxscore, too bad, can't watch.

Way to Jinx, Spanky!! Hit just given up.

[wilko]

Way to Jinx, Spanky!! Hit just given up.

 

[bones10]

Julian Fernandez throws heat right? Looks like he K’d the side in his inning would like to see how he looks

[Eat My Shatkins]

Both the Fernandez's throw heat. If either one of them turn into something it'll be found money.

[Spanky99]

Whooooooooo Geeeffs a Fack?!
