There we go

I was going to be really, really mad if they blew that bases loaded and no outs

Taylor is so good. That was some bad defense by Abrams but a 108.9 MPH hit is not an easy task.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Taylor's been a quality pick up, always liked the guy.

 

[wheelz87]

Monster hit from Taylor.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

So it's going to be one of those games

 

[Scandale du Jour]

That bum Gallo

 

[MrBrightside]

Keller's velocity is concerning.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

*sigh*, Keller is back to being a bum.

 

[MrBrightside]

Keller has nothing. Serving up meatball after meatball with these 90 mph cutters up in the zone.

It is nearly middle/middle.

Trying to be too cute with throwing 92 mph cutters in the corner against bad hitters. Henry reaching halfway across the plate to catch the ball. It’s a long season but stupid shit like this will hurt them. And unfortunately the coaching staff doesn’t know any better to break those habits.

Keller is an ace in a 100 loss team. He’s a #3 on a good team. Just needs to be a little better

Early 2023 Keller was a #3 on a good team. The Keller we saw from June on last year and that we've seen this year isn't helping anyone win.

Mitch Keller is Homer Bailey.

I just don't believe in him. I never have.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Keller got paid and is back to being shite.

Shelton and company sure do understand fundamentals.

 

[MrBrightside]

Despite Keller, this game is still winnable with Trevor Williams and this Nats' pen.

Keller was back to being shite in the 2nd half of last year, but the team paid him anyway.

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

Vibes around here turned pretty quick.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Great defensive play.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I think it mostly just seems like Keller's cutter is a problem more than him in general. The double at the start of this inning was also off of a cutter, I think it may not be getting the horizontal break that he wants it to be getting.

The Gallo HR, the Abrams 2 RBI single and the Garcia Jr double were all off of Keller's cutter.

Give em the heater Ricky!!!

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

not sure if the movement isnt what hes expecting or if hes just grooving because his command/mechanics arent there but everything is floating right down broad street

 

[MrBrightside]

Nothing about the cutter is working. The location is trash and the velocity is way down. A good lineup here would have knocked him out 2 innings ago.

The first six games are really what a lot of us thought it would be, albeit to ridiculous extremes - solid and deep offense, good bullpen, suspect rotation - not a thing has happened that makes any of those things seem wrong.

 

[wheelz87]

the offense has been super disappointing tonight.
