Pruitt is a career 2.1 BB9 in MLB and 1.7 in the Minors. He's going to give you multi-innings.

He plays the role of bridging games where you need someone to come in and keep a lead.

We don't necessarily need a leverage guy.

Scoreless innings are a rare and precious commodity for both teams in this series.

3-0 swinging at a pitch inside. *sigh*

Blanco struggling with command, 3-0 count, Seager behind you and you swing at an inside fastball. Just dumb baseball

Bailed him out there, would've love to see Seager up after back to back walks

Heaney's two strike pitches don't even seem competitive half the time.

Did Adolis just take the bat off his shoulder with like 3 seconds on the clock, and then took a pitch outside that was called a strike?

Adolis just decided not to run that one out

Yup, and ump rewarded pitcher with a strike

Watching Heaney pitch is like nails on a chalkboard for me.

Heaney is earning an 8 figure annual salary.

He needs to be better than this.

Bailed out on strike three. Pitch was up but singleton probably should be protecting the plate there.

Since I assume Altuve and Alvarez will score every time, we are 4 runs ahead of schedule at this point

Why are we not catching up to a low 90s fastball?

Probably all looking changeup first.

Changeups are up across the league. Been the pitch of the year so far.

Seems like it should be the other way around. Sit fastball and adjust

Blanco has done a great job setting up with the Changeup.

He threw the Change up about 8-9% in 2023. This year, he is up to 33%. What I'm seeing (and I'll have to go back and confirm) this game, he was finishing with the Changeup 1st time through. Now, he is finishing with his FSFB and we're sitting on the Changeup. So, when the FB comes, we're WAY behind catching up to it.

If you can spot your FB at 93-94 and then come in with a Changeup at 82-83 for strikes, you are going to have some success.

The Daves really jinxed Heaney on that one

That's why he was successful the 1st two games. Hitters were sitting FB with 2 strikes and the Changeup would come in.

I think Heaney is only person jinxing Heaney. Giving up an extra base hit to that bum.
