Middle fastballs to start every at bat. Then swing at slop off the plate. Every time.
Still waiting for a few of Jonās fly balls to leave the building off of the contact.
Kind of expect it to carry more w/ his power.
I didnāt think we had much of a shot at Skubal today to start with, but I was hoping weād at least try.

Just gonna have to flush this one and hope Brown and Kikuchi shove in games 2 and hopefully 3
McTaggart sent out a list of stats and when we score 3 runs or less (we lose > 90% of the time) ā which can be playoff baseball (1 run or low scoring games).
My friend asked me if I feared the Tigers, my response was āI donāt fear the Tigers but Skubal scares the shit out of meā
This stat means basically nothing to me without context of what other teams do when scoring 3 or less. My guess is most teams are going to lose 80-90% of games they score 3 or less
Thatās like saying ātheyāre 0-68 when getting out scoredā.

Blanco out
0-68 would be an improvement this year
Ferguson in
Well that was helpful
What an awful choice that was. Thanks for the free out on a horrible pitch!
We get one more run through the top/middle of the order. But need to get a run this inning. You can be down two in the 9th, but three is tough. Iām hoping thereās a little 2022 late inning magic in there somewhere, but this team doesnāt seem to have a lot of fight in them.
