Giants @ Astros, August 12, 2020

Is there a possibility that the rookies will get better? You’re talking history.
It’s a new day.

The rookies aren’t the problem. They’ve pitched well. It’s the vets in the pen that have shit themselves.

HPU just choked there.

Greinke cracks me up…“SECOND SIGN!!”

Awww shit…James is up in the pen

Yaz .327 against lefties. Dusty goes by the book. It’s an old book.

Raley with a big strikeout against Yaz

Glad to be wrong

42.1 IP lifetime; does that make him a rookie?

Raley is 32, first reaching the Big Leagues in 2012. He’s pitched professionally in the KBL for years. No, he’s not a kid just out of AA ball.

At the stretch…5-1 Astros

Didn’t notice his KBL experience or know that it counted. Thank you!

I’m not sure what you’re getting at. Are you asking if he has exceeded playing time for rookie status? I don’t know…the limit is 50 innings pitched or 45 days on a Major League roster. I don’t know how many days he’s spent on the 25 man

Well that was fucked up…Raley comes out to start the 8th, but Josh James comes in and Raley heads back to the dugout. Umpire says “nope…Raley came out, he has to face at least one hitter”. James runs back to the bullpen

Yes, that was what I was asking.
Can’t imagine dragging his family overseas alll these years to pursue a dream.
No ML appearances since 2013! Hope he makes it. Might be an amazing story!

Raley with an accidental 8th inning shuts em down 1-2-3

Astros up 5-1

Railey just decides to go out and get three outs and dare them to take him out.

He probably said “Josh James? Not on my watch…”

Go get 'em, Railey!

To the 9th…Taylor will try to hang on to the 5-1 lead
