The trouble with signing a pitcher coming off of Tommy John Surgery is that they might not be the same pitcher they were before the surgery.
Today, at least, Shane Bieber was not the pitcher he used to be. He pitched a nice first inning and go the first two outs of the second and then? Well…double, single, single, walk, grand slam, walk and finally the third out. we were down 5-0
Shane threw a scoreless third and forth innings but the fifth started off walk, home run and that was the end of his day. 4.0, 6 hits, 7 earned, 3 walks and 3 strikeouts.
Adam Macko gave up 3 more runs in his 1.2 innings. Tommy Nance gave up 1 more getting just 1 out. Braydon Fisher struck out the side in his inning and Myles Straw “pitched” a 1, 2, 3 ninth.
And on offense, we had 1 hit. Yohendrick Piñango had a single. Logan Gilbert looked terrific. He came out after 7.1 innings and looked bemused to be taken out. He struck out 7.
Yesterday it looked that we had finally started hitting. Maybe things were turning around. Today? Nah, yesterday was a one-off.
Being far….I did fall asleep at one point, which I highly recommend when watching your team get blown out. And, it is Stampede here and it sounded like the church close by was having a Stampede breakfast, or at least a band, because at seven this morning there was a loud drum beat and bass that woke me up.
Tomorrow we have a 5:00 Eastern start time. Trey Yesavage (4-3, 3.34) vs. Emerson Hancock (5-4, 3.47). Good news is that it should be our turn to hand them a crushing defeat.
No JoD’s today. The Other Award goes to Bieber (-0.34 WPA). And let’s give one to the starting lineup, for their inability to, you know, hit.
