but they're on every damn pitch he throws, including the scrubs.
His offspeed stuff not good and that is what they are hitting.
As Didi bombs Kluber..3-3 tied again.
Encarnancion (sp) didn't hit an offspeed pitch for his HR.

Certain on that? Anyway, if it was, it is only one of 8 or 9.
Maybe they're getting some help from one of those cameras out there in RF.
Leiter mentioned something about it in passing but didn't say for sure that's what was happening.
Bird misses a 3 run homer by a foot and we wind up getting nothing else, fuck
He hit a bullet. Just happened to be right at the 1B. Hard to blame him.
Romine' s the one to be annoyed with.
Because he crushed that pitch?

Agree about the bad Romine AB and the first pitch. Not that I personally could do it, but that looked ripe just to take the other way for an opposite field single.

Yes.
You're right though, they're hitting his change up but they're hitting everything else too. It's not like that's the only pitch he's throwing as even his outs have been hit hard. It's more a lack of him not having his pinpoint control with anything as of yet,IMO.

Agreed. All you can ask for is to hit it hard and Walker hit a scorcher. Sometimes you get the bear and other times the bear gets you.
Romine has to do a better job there no question. A couple of those balls were up enough I thought he could've gotten a fly ball out of.
That was a fat fastball...
