Dillard seems to be struggling in his new role......seems uncomfortable when he isn’t doing comedy.

 

Hopefully he settles in.

I think the “uncomfortable” is part of his comedy act.

[trwi7]

All this red representing the Cubs on the scorebug is freaking me out.

[adambr2]

Swinging 3-0 with the bases empty is pretty silly.

[JET15]

Low attendance in the game thread tonight... for a matchup with the Cubs

[yfinn6]

Okay, small zone tonight?!

[Eye Black]

Freddy’s command looks a bit off so far tonight.

[Simba2020]

Nothing like throwing 5 straight strikes to issue a walk.

[nate82]

Looks to be a tight strike zone tonight at least for Peralta so far he isn't getting any of the calls on the black.

[adambr2]

Alzolay better be getting the same microscopic zone today.

 

Umpires like this piss me off. These pitches are right on the corners and bottom edge of the zone which is exactly where you want them. They're not just off the edge. They're strikes. (AB to Joc)

 

Pitchers should be rewarded for these pitches, not punished.

 

These umpires are their own worst enemy. Everyone is talking about automating the zone and the guys making the best case for it are the umpires themselves.

[adambr2]

Definitely looked like Avi was hustling out of the box. Just was perfectly played.

[adambr2]

That was a terrible 0-2 pitch and JBJ couldn't touch it.

[Bulldogboy]

Bradley batting 5 and Omar 7 is another head scratcher from Counsell.

[jason21nl]

Keston is such a disappointment

[markedman5]

Really Hiura?

 

No.place to hide him

[trwi7]

Contreras has a career walk rate of nearly 10%. He's not up there "to hack" as Brian says. Is it really too much to ask that announcers do the bare minimum of research when it comes to stats?

[willie key]

That sucked.

[Bulldogboy]

Hiura is making Rickie Weeks look like Joe Morgan

[markedman5]

Way to much him up Freddie.

 

Extra pitches add up

[adambr2]

This is a classic Peralta start. He can be really good, but he's never going to be a consistent 7 inning or even 6 inning pitcher.

How many of those actually exist these days anyway?

Not many, but Woodruff and Burnes are probably closer to being ones.I'm not saying it's a bad thing. If he can give us 5 great innings every outing that's valuable.

Exactly. You could do worse as a fifth starter.

The good ol' "Quality Start"

[homer]

Peralta is 24 years old. I don't think we know what he's gonna be yet.
