IU Scott Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 29 minutes ago, IUFLA said: Yeah, cool story... You do know that Spahn wasn't exactly a flame thrower... He pitched on guile... Kind of a left handed Greg Maddux of his day... He had one of the best quotes I've ever read about pitching... "Hitting is timing. Pitching is upsetting timing." That about sums it up... As for Marichal, he, like many other pitchers, had arm issues later in his career... Very few power pitchers dodge arm problems... Especially from overuse... That is what I am saying that is causing injuries is pitchers trying to throw to hard and not how many pitches they throw. If they learn how to pitch and not be taught to throw as hard as you can for as long as you can. It appears that the Reds rookie Abbott knows how to pitch and is not just a thrower.

Proud2BAHoosier Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Yanks complete a 6 game road trip by going 3-3. Losing 2 of 3 to the Cardinals and winning 2 of 3 from the A's, including the perfect game by Domingo German. In yesterdays game against the Cards, Yankees Ace and All-Star pitcher Gerritt Cole was beaten by a former Yankee pitcher, Jordan Montgomery. Monty held the Yankees hitless thru 5 innings, losing 5-0. The Yanks start a big series tonight against the O's at Yankee Stadium. Hoping the Yanks can get their team healthy soon..... Go Yanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Baseball is a funny sport because the Reds pitcher ERA over the last 7 games is over 8. The Reds has won all 7 of those games but Weaver never got a decision on those games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 12 pitch inning and hold for Farmer in the 7th. No real shocker with how good he's been. ✅️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) Reds win and pitching was really good tonight. 4 straight good starts from the starters. 4 scoreless innings from the relievers and only two hits Edited July 4, 2023 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's sad is you look at most of the team stats and it should never the record should never be 7 under .500....that sits squarely on the manager. Of course in yesterday's game though we walk 8 guys while up 6th to the 29th worst hitting team in baseball. The roster we have has such a thin margin. One part can't be off for us to win because although the Cubs are the only NL Central team with a positive run differential...it's not like we can just score past our mistakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not sure Ross is the guy... Pretty funny that a lot of teams thought Bochy was washed up... He's proving them wrong in Arlington...

IU Scott Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Thank you Cubs bullpen for blowing another big late lead to Milwaukee. At least it is going to extra innings but losing a 6-2 lead in the 8th doesn't help the Reds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatShot Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 The two worst offenses in MLB are currently locked in a scoreless tie in the 7th inning, in a game that started an hour and a half ago. Who needs offense, anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
