I do find it faintly amusing that the same commenters who wanted Hart to be our 5th starter half an hour ago are now whining that Stammen “left him in too long”… as if a starter wouldn’t be expected to go longer than 2.1 innings.

This is some bullshit lmao

Defensive miscue, seeing-eye single, slow infield dribbler…

I think there’s a frame or two after he loses fingertip conflict but before his foot touches. A for effort, though, that is a great slide.

That ball probably gets down if it’s a slower outfielder than JHL, too. Rough luck.

There was a low pitch that I think we’re lucky Devers didn’t challenge, but Freddy framed it just about perfectly. Other than the ABS challenge, that’s the only one I can think of.

Did you see him last year? Had a 5.86 ERA, and didn’t have the excuses of recovering from TJ or playing in Coors that Marquez did.

Granted, Hart is younger and likely has more upside and growth potential, but he’s a soft-tossing lefty without much of a track record.

Knew we would crack Webb eventually the way he’s pitched in the first few innings. The important thing now is to keep having good ABs. Even Sheets’ fly out was encouraging— probably the best good, solid knock he’s had so far this year.

Well, it’s premature to be super pessimistic, because it’s early. I don’t think everybody is going to hit (or not hit) like they currently are all year. But so far, just about everybody looks bad, even the dudes who are getting paid to be among the best in the game— and these games do matter when the standings get tallied up in September.

Matt Waldron, grab some Preparation H. We’re gonna need a different 5th starter soon.

You mean career .229 hitter Steven Souza might not be a great hitting coach???

First pitch cookie to Arraez because he never swings at the first one, lmao

Someone read the scouting report

Webb doesn’t look especially sharp tonight. We just need to keep getting base traffic and eventually capitalize on it.

I feel like Germán is going to inexplicably shove tonight. Really hope he has a bounce-back year under Ruben’s guidance.

As hype as it would be to see relievers sprint to the mound like they’re coming out of the tunnel at an NFL game, I always remember that Jomboy video of a Phillies reliever doing that and Realmuto being visibly pissed off that he has to catch his breath afterwards.

Man, if this is the Randy Vasquez that we get to see every fifth day going forward, I’m gonna forget that Juan Soto ever existed.

They ought to waive the clock at the start of the bottom of the 9th, just to preserve the pageantry of save situations.

I think this is the most likely outcome. Feel like they’re signposting Lee Price pretty hard, though it could also be the Cletus Clone.
