oh my, Josh James sighting

Holy cow. If you've got a young pitcher at your house, have him watch that Chapman at-bat 10 times before bed tonight. Perfect placement on his pitches and a cleanup hitter whiffs at two straight 88 MPH 4 seam fastballs in the heart of the zone, then is so crossed up he can't even put the bat on the ball.

When you only hear about Greinke from afar, you just don't get how he's doing this stuff without the big strikeout numbers. When he's on, he's like watching a surgeon.

Hinch pulled that guy in game 7.

Hold onto your butts, Josh James is coming in.

From Greinke to James. Turrible.

Greinke is nails today.

Meanwhile, someone wake up the offense.

lots of warning track power tonight

What is ZG's pitch count? You can't turn this gem over to the pen if it's sub 90.

Don't remind us. Leave Greinke in and we have two rings.

84. I think he's getting pulled based on what happened last week when he lost it in the 6th. Baker has a quick hook

Josh James has already walked someone before the inning even started

He blew it a few times - including that one. Mostly he made great decisions amd did a lot to help get us a ring. Time to move on.

You can't afford for Greinke to hurt his arm, either.

Like every manager, he blew it a few times - including that one. He also did a lot to help get us a ring. Time to move on.

---

Also the offense didn't help only scoring 2 runs.

Auto steal

Straw singles.

should run on the 1st pitch

Yep...obviously if you had a time machine you make a different decision there, but there's no guarantee we have two rings.

He made 100 decisions in 2017 that maybe if you made a different one wouldn't have a ring there.

These were the pitch velo's to Canha.
69.6 (curve)
86.7 (sinker)
85.6 (sinker)
87.4 (4 seam)
68.8 (curve)

So 3 different pitches, 19 mph difference.

Hold onto your butts.

the plan remains to shut out the A's

Are we really pulling a cruising grienke for Josh James.

I'll consider this inning a victory if James gives up 4 runs or fewer.

please no

Do you use that in class? Cool if you did/do.

This is not the right decision. It may work out but Baker needs to let ZG go back out.

You don't know me very well.

Starters just are stretched out enough yet. Can't risk him getting hurt

Ill realistically consider it a victory if its 1 run.

I can barely get them to learn calculus sometimes. When I used to teach stat classes this kind of real time data didn't exist.

Just a bit outside

Greinke just walking around looking at (talking to) the cutouts.

There's a treasure trove of Johua gifs from war games that are going to fit this outing well.

Oh boy....
