Texas 6-1 against the Mariners.BB 6-1 so far against SS
People seem to covet that stat... oh he threw 90 percent first pitch strikes! What is up with that?!Disappointing loss tbs. Note to Mr Miller: getting a 1st pitch strike does not mean throwing meatballs up to the best hitters in the league. Let's hope Gilbert gets it tomorrow.
Nice comeback at the end, but gave up too much early to overcome. Hitters need to be less aggressive against pitchers like Dunning throwing breakers and sliders all day. Too many 1-2 pitch ABs early in the game.
Still got time, but it's running out.
We really just need to win one of the next two, if we do that we will only be 1 gb of Texas, and who knows with Houston and Toronto.People seem to covet that stat... oh he threw 90 percent first pitch strikes! What is up with that?!
Well guess what, GOOD teams.. notice this and by the second time through the lineup... they are looking to swing and swing hard on that first pitch
We have to to win the next two.. going in high against the astros... if we get swept... this may be game over for the season
The stat is meaningful. First pitch strikes set up the entire rest of the AB. The trick is to throw GOOD first pitch strikes, not middle-middle softballs. Rookie pitchers learn this, or they fall back into the minors.People seem to covet that stat... oh he threw 90 percent first pitch strikes! What is up with that?!
