"You're a boring old man"
Heads up baseball and ho hum clutch RBI by Gonzo on another 1st pitch swing.
He was a dropped 3rd strike from getting through 9.I understand wanting to stick with your ace but sending Skenes out for the 9th there is something I simply wouldn't have done. They have far too good of a bullpen to try to push Skenes at 100 pitches into the 9th IMO.
Holderman has a 1.72 ERA, throw him out for the 9th and I'd bet you're getting to the bottom of the 9th tied 1-1.
They'll be back.What a highly embarrassing and disturbing loss. I'm willing to bet big money very few of the 37k in attendance will be back for another game. Because as fun as it is to watch Skenes pitch, its equally depressing to watch the Buccos try to hit.
Well they are an immensely better organization.The Cardinals ruined 2013, they ruined the Chris Archer excitement, and now they hand Paul Skenes his first big league loss, in a game in which he should have won.
So, uh, yea, screw that organization.
