Need to work more counts like LA did. I know he struck out at a high fastball, but he at least saw two fastballs there

Every week, some pitcher is dealing against us. Now if it's been every now and then I can understand, but every damn week? No, our hitters aren't adjusting to his slider.Quote:

Some of you are ****ing stupid with this let's just start self today. It's not the way it works. You don't just run the kid out there to do something he hasn't attempted to do this season. Jb gave us 12 outs with only giving up 2 runs. 100% of you guys would have taken that. We had to get 15 outs to get to self and Price. And we are on schedule. Just have to scratch some runs.
This game is on our hitting not pitching. People are so quick to jump on the pitchers but this game is all on the hitters.
What proof is there that Self or Price can work 6 innings or so? I'm being genuine. The most I've seen either pitch is 2, maybe 2 and a third innings.Quote:

The reason he's "dealing" is bc we're undisciplined. If we had given our guys the take sign the first few innings we'd either have 10 walks, or we would be ripping fastballs right now. When you swing at everydamnthing they throw, "dealing" just requires throwing sliders in the dirt.Quote:

Nobody is saying this game is on pitching...we're just wondering how we can go a full series, lose 2 of 3, and not see Self or Price at all til it's basically over. Wish we had put Self in there at 3-1 Thursday night, knowing what we know now. When you have a limited staff, you gotta cut the runs off with your best when you still have a chance.Quote:

This is how you matchup an inning to get 3 outs. Just have to execute.
Nothing but FB's there... hmmm
