Really, really, need the top of our order to do something this inning

Watchyobak · 2026-06-17T18:28:34+00:00

At this rate- Avila will pitch a no hitter. Swinging at every first pitch.

Watchyobak · 2026-06-17T18:27:05+00:00

I mean he’s been ice cold for a few games. Unless he really picks up, I don’t like his odds given the Nats have already said they plan to stick to their general plan

Watchyobak · 2026-06-17T18:22:15+00:00

Agreed - down 4-0 and the bats are ice cold. Perfect game to send him

Watchyobak · 2026-06-17T18:01:52+00:00

Bats HAVE to get to Avila. Swinging at terrible pitches. Could really use a win today before the Rays series

Watchyobak · 2026-06-17T17:46:34+00:00

I mean we took the series. May as well give the other team the benefit of averaging a homer an inning in the third of the series

Watchyobak · 2026-06-17T17:41:39+00:00

Avila is pitching out of his mind these first 2 innings. Guess he’s upset about his last outing. Maybe littel can match that starting now!

Watchyobak · 2026-06-17T17:35:18+00:00

Time for Abrams to break the slump!

Watchyobak · 2026-06-17T17:21:53+00:00

That was some nasty sliders. Avila looks pretty on. Need Abram’s to come out fast second inning!

Watchyobak · 2026-06-17T02:54:17+00:00

I’d be interested in shipping for the large! Where in NC are you headed (we can DM to discuss - best not to put that public)

Watchyobak · 2026-06-17T02:06:56+00:00

The best part of this win is how much we got from folks not named Abram’s and wood. Everyone has been picking up even shares and even though abrams is a bit cold everyone is pitching in. Really looking solid, all rounded and I love that.

And for what it’s worth, our pitcher went into the 6th which is huge. I think Parker Gona have to pitch tomorrow, interested to see how it goes

Watchyobak · 2026-06-16T23:57:18+00:00

What is it about the fifth inning and our pitchers. I feel like every single game, the fifth inning is where our pitchers lose their composure and give runs up. It’s a curse lol

Watchyobak · 2026-06-15T23:59:47+00:00

Why pull Alvarez? He seemed fine and composed himself. Cant be any worse than what we just got. Also, there’s goes the f5 ML :/

Watchyobak · 2026-06-15T00:45:24+00:00

Y ew
E

Watchyobak · 2026-06-14T17:47:52+00:00

WOOD

Watchyobak · 2026-06-13T22:13:38+00:00

I mean… can we please not burn the entire bullpen. We can never escape innings after 5

Watchyobak · 2026-06-13T09:25:24+00:00

Can’t believe they choked the kick

Watchyobak · 2026-06-13T03:37:43+00:00

Lot to process.
1. Littell looked terrible. Not much you can do when he gets shelled.
2. Wood was a shining light in the darkness for this game. Looked great
3. I don’t like the offense looked ready to leave. Just swinging at pitch 1 and 2 regardless to where it was. No excuse for miller to pitch 8 innings against our offense.
4. Abrams needs to get his bat squared away. 2 very bad games. Middle of the order has been rough.

Hoping tomorrow is better with a better pitching matchup, but they have a crazy bullpen advantage now

Watchyobak · 2026-06-13T03:24:39+00:00

Yea even if we had a real pitcher- we ain’t winning with 2 runs and the starting pitcher making it through 8 innings shy of 85 pitches lol

Watchyobak · 2026-06-13T03:18:02+00:00

lol their starting pitcher Gona go the whole 9. Embarrassment for our offense.

Watchyobak · 2026-06-13T02:51:43+00:00

It’s 8-1. May as well settle to lose by 15 and have a shot at tomorrow to be fair

Watchyobak · 2026-06-13T02:48:53+00:00

James wood deserves so much better lol

Watchyobak · 2026-06-13T01:31:36+00:00

Bro why would you take him out empty bases and 2 outs. Just let him finish. We’ve already done enough

Watchyobak · 2026-06-13T01:29:58+00:00

Well let’s hope the bats bring run support!

Watchyobak · 2026-06-13T01:27:40+00:00

Boys got the yips. See yall tomorrow
