I was halfway through writing a post about how we had three solid innings of lead man aboard, then stealing, then the following batters not being able to convert.

Then I look up and Rizzowns. :allears:

If there was ever a pitcher who'd get ejected because he accidentally beaned somebody after warnings were issued, it'd be Strope.

Explosionface posted:

Yeah, I remember him being billed as Castro 2.0 defensively, but maybe I'm wrong?

Baez has completely turned it around over the last 1.5 years. He used to be kinda shoddy defensively, and he had this hilariously long and loopy swing that gave him lots of homerun power but made him a SO machine. His plate discipline still needs some work, but he's reigned his swing in quite a bit and he's a defensive gem now, not to mention he can basically play any position on the diamond.

Baez gets poo poo done as usual.

He's getting a ton of contact lately, seems like he's always getting a hack at the ball one way or the other.

Whatever stream I'm watching doesn't have any kind of pitchtrax and its pissing me off because some of this poo poo from Arrieta looks good, but maybe I'm jaded.

WGN isn't showing it for whatever reason, I'm just following along on the gameday app.

The ump is super inconsistent. He gave Jake a strike on a high inside corner pitch, then called the exact same pitch on the next batter ball one. He's also squeezing like mad on low stuff so Jake is elevating, which is going to get him rocked the second he puts a pitch a little too over the plate.
