Those pitches were right down broadway.They signed that guy over o Hearn or murakami too
May 2May 2 Author Max looks great today. Locating his sinker well and the breaking stuff nasty as usual. Wonder if they’ll pull him early again

May 2May 2 BTW, to put the Cade Gibson stuff into perspective. Barely more than a week ago, the Marlins pulled Junk at 56 pitches with just 1 hit and one walk allowed before he could face a guy who is batting sub mendoza a 2nd time. Last night they allowed a reliever at 42 pitches, who had given up 3 hits, walked a guy and hit a guy, face a batter who has freqently been used as a platoon bat vs lefties and already had a hit off of Gibson a second time in a 1 run game.

No idea who’s making the calls but they’re clearly not from someone actually trying to win games

I think once Stowers comes around, this lineup will be much better. I'm really concerned with Gus though. He hits too many grounds balls and has a long swing. He's shown very little power this season, so far.

May 2May 2 Author Giving max the 6th im shocked. Isn’t there some random Dfa RP they can pull him for to blow the lead?

The strikeout and whiff rates are up. He is actually swinging the bat harder than last year, but the hard hit rate is way down. I think the organization is stressing plate discipline so he is more hesitant on which pitches to swing at and is just out of rythm.
