Look, the shift worked to perfection. This won't be brought up again, but boy just wait until a hitter gets a random roller off the end of their bat that finds a hole where a "traditional" defender would have been.
The crew working on the broadcast are having a really hard time lol. Last inning the strike zone shrunk, now we've lost the strikezone, velocity, the pitcher's pitch count and for a moment the score itself all at the same time.
I love this, they're literally just spamming the changeup now like you would instruct your prospect in high A to. Developing someone like that at the MLB level is really a sight to watch.
If the game ends with the current score this will literally be the first game that we lose by more than 3 runs, 2nd game that we'd lose by more than 2.
It's not 95 but Pannone is throwing a lot harder this season than what we saw last year. Consistently hitting 90-91 and occasionally ramping it up to 92.
He's looked very stable early on.
