This is the first time ever that Cole and Fried have been in the rotation at the same time. Let’s hope that they make it a good memory!
I can barely remember vintage Max Fried, its been so long (as he was obviously pitching hurt back in May).
Spencer Jones batting third sure does irritate me.
About the Author
Mitch Keller 5.14 era. Can he get it under 5?
A six pitch first for Keller. Must be a Rowson/Boone attack plan.
Rice’s at-bat, in particular, was truly embarrassing.
Looks like another tough luck loss for Cole but when you face pitchers like Yamamoto and Keller you need to be perfect.
I think Keller isn’t a bad pitcher, but holy shit, is this embarrassing.
