At the game, awesome to watch in person again.

Foulkelore

Very cool!

Paxton coming out with an injury. This sets up a potentially odd scenario. Vaughn could get his first major league hit from an at bat against two pitchers.

Good job, Zach

Milky✌️

He gets the “Keep it up!” sticker

Giolito in full sicko mode. It’d be scary if this wasn’t a game and he weren’t on our side. Well, it’s still a little unsettling.

Nick…still brutal

Are the defensive yips a thing and does Madrigal have them?

I always considered the “yips” as something routine that a player used to have no problem with and then all of a sudden can’t anymore (like catcher who couldn’t throw the ball back to the pitcher). I don’t think he’s played enough to know if he’s going through something like that, is just bad, or hopefully, just needs more time to get settled.

We’re all pulling for Madrigal, but he’s a major league toddler who needs a Time Out.

Foulkelore

Well, an average LF makes that easy. On the other hand, I have no idea if Eloy would have.

This inning is just amateur hour

Foulkelore

Oh, holy hell, the defense this inning is just atrocious.

Shingos Cheeseburgers

Lucas’s 4 seamer at 91….not a good sign.

Foulkelore

So, that’s 4 outs that Giolito should have with average defense, and there’s 1 on the board?

Dear god, this team’s defense…

tommytwonines

I feel bad for Giolito. What a s**t show.

It’s small potatoes in the grand scheme, but Gio really only had 1 earned run that inning. The score keeper hosed him

Milky✌️

Excepting Vaughn because it’s stupid he has to man left in the first place, this start of the season has been some of the sloppiest defense I can remember. Maybe my expectations are higher because this is the most cromulent roster we’ve had in years, but despite all the talk of how prepared and regimented TLR was it’s not showing up on the field at all

Foulkelore

There you go, kid. Now get comfortable and on a roll.

tommytwonines

If the defense were competent, every single SP would last another inning.

Shingos Cheeseburgers

Nice recovery even though it still looks like he’s laboring.

Foulkelore

Yes, Robert!

Shingos Cheeseburgers

Thank you for the good vibes, Luis

Shingos Cheeseburgers

If there’s one thing that drives me completely insane it’s a reliever coming out of the pen and walking the first guy he faces. Especially with a bad defense.

Shingos Cheeseburgers

Frankly I do think José’s 54 grand slams pace is sustainable

Oh certainly. Especially after Tim A. is back so there are more hitters ahead of him to get the bases loaded for him. I think 54 is a lower limit.
