When was the last time they won 3 in a row?  Middle of last month?  Certainly not in August that I recall.

7/14-7/20. AS Break was obv in the middle

Lower back pain.

Missed strike 3 cost us a run.

SP are finicky as hell. The self-own by the grounds crew to start the game was something to behold though.

Yeah that pissed him off. I'm sure he's going off in the dugout right now.

It points out a failure of both the actionable (the cleat cleaner not being installed on the mound), as well as the review process that would verify its installation (this is probably a checklist). More than one person got caught with their pants down there. 

 

Yeah, you want to expect more from your billion dollar pitcher, but these guys are weird about their pre-game stuff.

Somebody f'd up and he's finicky. It's on our offense tonight against their bullpen game. No excuses.

I really have a strong dislike for the “opener” concept.  It’s a joke when a starting pitcher is pulled after facing only three batters - especially when he struck out two of them.  I will also admit to having a strong dislike of Cora.  Serves him right to have that blow up in his face.  (ETA…Of course, it works out that it didn’t blow up in his face.)

That was an all star throw to the plate and Action Jackson just flat-out beat the throw.

I looked up as he was getting close to the bag, I almost asked if he dogged it to first because it certainly looked like it.

Another umpire who guesses whether close pitches are strikes or balls.
