When it rains it pours. Manoah finally provided a decent start and the team scored some runs. Then Romano coughs up a 3 run home run to f*** it all up.
He definitely had an early assist from the home plate umpire though. Early on his command was pretty scattershot and he was gifted a bunch of undeserved strike calls.
I thought his pitches legitimately looked better. There were far fewer non competitive pitches and he dotted a lot of two seamers and four seamers effectively.
I'd take the neck/shoulder for sure given how many sporting careers we've seen ruined by concussions. They tend to become more severe with related occurrences.
Not sure why they decided to burn Mayza so quickly. He's been a lot more effective so far against right handed hitters this season so it's not a death sentence if he has to face a few of them.
Wow great knucklehead post. Why in the world you felt the need to take a shot at "stat nerds" is beyond me. All of us are obviously frustrated with the team's inability to deliver with RISP so no need to take potshots.
