Both Aaron Nola and Jacob De Grom gave up 5 runs in 3.2 innings pitched, for an identical ERA of 12.27. Huh.

The problem today was the same as last year (just too many bad innings where he melts down) but Hunter Greene's arm talent is laughably absurd:

I was worried about this after that catastrophic WBC outing. Hope Bard can work through it without missing too much time.
Was coming here to say this, runs scored in 11 of the 16 half innings so far and a bunch of lead changes, STL just scored 2 to go up 9-8 in the 8th.
Also Wilson Contreras took a 103 untouched fastball off his knee (while catching) from Jordan Hicks and had to leave the game, fingers crossed for his kneecap.
Top three in the Bluejay order (Springer, Bichette, and Vlad) combine to go 11-16 with 6 runs and 5 rbi.
The amazing thing was he actually ran up the first base line chasing the ball for a moment until he realized how much his knee was hurting... Just a "contusion" apparently.
It's a good Luis Castillo has a lot of hair stuffed under his cap because Will Brennan just shot one up the middle and knocked it off his head.
Shane Bieber has allowed exactly one hit in every inning through six. Four of them made it to 3rd base. None of them have crossed home plate. The ball Will Brennan literally hit off Luis Castillo was the only hit off Castillo. Still scoreless in Seattle as they go to the bullpens.
Luis Castillo with an outstanding first start. Bieber nearly as good.
0-0 between Seattle and Cleveland into the 7th.

Brash looks like his breaking stuff has somehow gained movement. Holy cow. I hope they can find a way to make him work as a starter. He is so much fun to watch.
The pitch before it was just as nasty, maybe moreso. Backdoor slider that should have been called strike 3, but Raleigh dropped it.Matt Brash
Yup I was watching it live, he absolutely painted the corner with it. His first strikeout was magnificent too.
Everything needs to be reviewable. That's the first time I've ever seen a batter draw a walk on a foul ball.
Ohtani goes 6 scoreless but of course the Angels only score 1 and now the A’s tie it up in the 8th. Angels gonna Angels.
Again, zero chance he will be a Yankee IMO, I will be very surprised if he and Soto don’t end up with one of LAD/NYM/SDP (not implying they’re a package deal).
Man, I love what the pitch clock has done! It did a number on pretty much every game. Too bad there isn't a time limit for commercials though.
I'm sure most of the offensive outburst games like the Blue Jays-Cardinals one will be longer, but I think that's normal. The more pitching-dominant a game is, the quicker it'll be.
What do you guys think of the pitch clock so far?

Ha. My first thought was, "That was a dreadful play and Renfroe got really lucky."
I doubt closing your eyes and hoping is a repeatable skill on rocket balls you turn the wrong way on.
Margot's play from earlier, on the other hand, was spectacular.
They're available on youtube or MLB. Youtube has them for the NBA, NHL, and NFL as well (all through their league pages). They're a super awesome way to keep up. And very good material to put on the TV when working out!

How is there no standardization for the strike zone overlay shown on TV?
