Brady is a talent that is getting an early look at a high level in a very short season. Taking lumps now is not a surprise. What is that line from Bull Durham? Something like being lit up like a pinball machine? He will be fine.
Pete Alonso with a game tying 3-run HR in the 6th (in a 7 inning game) against the Yanks today. To dead center.
And they came back to win 6-4....first time I think since 2006 the NYY had blown a 4 run lead to the Mets.
Darren O’Day is having a good year. He has an ERA of 0.93 and a WHIP of 0.83. He is not given enough credit. He has a career ERA of 2.53!!! Not bad at all...
Next time a UF starter gets lit up in a start remember this: Sonny Gray tonight went 0.2 IP, 5 hits, 3 BB, and 6 ER. ERA on the year is still 3.19 even after that catastrophe. Sadly Bader didn’t get the start and went 0-1 as a pinch hitter later on.
Was watching the Royals broadcast tonight. Believe it was the second inning, one of their announcers was talking about an interview he had with Sully on how he doesn't recruit pitchers based on velocity. Looks for guys that come from good families and are respectful, i.e. teachable.
Dane finished with 0 ER and 3 H. First career victory. Outstanding day for him. Alonso with a solo shot in the bottom of the 8th to win the Game. He has 11 HRs on the year. He is on pace for 40 HRs over a 162 game season. Incredible considering his slow start. He is still hitting sub .240 but OPS is now over .800 and climbing.
