Two days in a row, lots of pitches. If this were the regular season, he'd have a day off. That still might be the case

45 pitches the last two days. I’d avoid him unless there was an emergency like needing to close out an extra inning game and there are no other good options.
Anybody know of a Sons of Pete Incaviglia or the like Rangers message board? Never won the whole thing and it was practically right there for the taking with only a 5'6" second baseman in the way. Poor bastards. Now they have to win two in Houston. Oh, wait...
Seems like a terrible idea. His velocity was down already last night. He's gassed. Anyway, here's their bullpen heading into the game tonight:
Throw anyone instead of Kimbrel. If he gets through an inning it will be luck more than anything.
Watched highlights. The ball that Thomas hit wasn’t even a terrible pitch. Sure, a little bit up. But even with only 94, that’s a ball you expect at most to be hit opposite field, otherwise it’s an out. Thomas got all the way around it and hooked it over 400 feet with a three-quarter swing. I kind of think you take that swing on that pitch most times, but of course in the playoffs you get one chance and Thomas had a really quick bat and got it perfectly.
Yea, not his fault but basically delivered a knockout blow to Moreno's jaw when he ran through him.
My wife is outside the stadium. She was there for a work trip. She said she saw a sign saying 2001 NL champs. They won the World Series that year. Not sure why you would have a sign that didn’t just say World Series champions. She also saw and got a picture with Chris Bianco and his wife. I’m jealous.
Also, she has to catch her flight soon but went over to check it out and says you can see the batter from where they sell tickets. Very strange.
When are those robot umps arriving? I’d like to be the first to welcome our new pitch-calling overlords. Really, they can’t get here soon enough.
