Forrest Whitley threw 6 different pitches in 2.2 innings tonight in Sugar Land. He didn't throw a single pitch more than 24 percent of the time. He hit 96.3 MPH and generated 10 whiffs on 30 swings

I appreciate Odo's self assessments. He's always up front and realistic.
As bad has been for him he'll always stand up and take the heat and shoot straight.
Jake Odorizzi: "Not a whole lot of good today. Just a lot of eerily similar (things) to the first couple starts I had this year. Direction was crap. Opening up in my lower half, trying to compensate for over-rotating in my upper half."

Asked if he’d made a decision about the Home Run Derby, Yordan Alvarez said he had not.

Yordan not so locked in anymore
Did not age well
Not a great AB for him but Sparky said he's hitting .400something in his career as a pinch hitter. He is literally the best active pinch hitter in baseball.W said:
seen enough of Diaz.
need a better stick to pinch hit

As fun as it would be, please don't do this yordan... Too many guys screw up their swings

Great point...Ag_07 said:
Plus how fun would it be watching him launch balls into Chavez Ravine in front of all those losers knowing they gave him away for Josh fckn Fields.
it's true. It's really hard to quantify what Maldy is "worth". Like Shane Battier before they came up with plus minus & those stats. You knew he was very valuable based on how the team played better with him, even though the stat line didn't look great.Prosperdick said:Great point...Ag_07 said:

Back to the game and thinking about Maldy and what Jimy Williams said years ago about Adam Everett (and his weak stick): "there's a lot of RBI's in that glove."
You could say the same about Maldy and his arm (and head and the way he handles pitchers).
Come on, Jake. "Wasn't good" doesn't cover it. You sucked like new Hoover.EastCoastAgNc said:Jake Odorizzi: “I wasn’t good today. Plain and simple … we go uphill from here.”

Harry, that performance today was very bad against one of the worst teams in MLB. How many designated losses do you want if we are to try to catch the Yankees for home field?

Hey Twitter Fam, who knows the name of the fan who caught Yordan’s walk off?
— Todd Kalas (@RealToddKalas) July 5, 2022
Loved his and his girl’s pure unbridled excitement in their celebration after catching the game winner!
He was wearing an Altuve Space City Jersey.
Want to give him a shout out on broadcast tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/qJxq0z8cGb

should be a really fun game tomorrow with Greinke on the mound.
has not gone past 6 innings in any of his 12 starts.
been very good at home, but 6.90 ERA on the road
So why did the Angels not wear road unis on Sunday? Usually the away team has their City/location name but they were full on Angels.EastCoastAgNc said:JB!98 said:
