Kirby vs. the White Sox loose Cannon G.T. 8/6/25

They are really laying it on thick with the Ichiro talk. It just goes on and on.

I chalk it up to the time away and knocking rust off. Hopefully he's back to his normal self to close this year and then next year

I heard the australian dude talking about Kirby's adjustment this year.
What happens is when he's behind in the count or gets into trouble he is so accurate that his pitches end up in the center/middle of the plate.
So he is purposely trying to hit the corners/edges and ends up giving up more walks vs. hits with the ball over the sweet spot.
Sounds reasonable I guess. Give up the walk instead of the run(s).

Sounds very reasonable, that's development. He might give up more walks but hitters aren't going to be able to sit on hittable pitches if they get ahead in the count. Hit a few of them while you're at it

Look up "effectively wild" in the dictionary, there's a picture of Randy Johnson

This ump wants to go home. He’s giving this pitcher every pitch close to the strike zone. Not 1 of those pitches to Julio was a strike. He has given him 1-2 pitches almost every AB

Yea wtf is this. Fucking Manfred really has it out for us!!!

This is where you put Mastrobuoni in the game with a greased up bat that he "loses his grip on" on the follow-through sending it flying at approximately 80 mph directly into the ump's face mask.

Man, not a good night for Jorge. What were those last 2 ABs? He hardly ever chases off the plate

Cannon leaves and offense goes to sleep. Ump is helping but some ugly abs since Alexander took over

Kirby finishes his night strong. Hoping pen is great tonight!!

[seattlefan-daBronx]

Quality Start George!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[seth8734]

Offense is sleepless in seattle after Cannon blows. Bullpen better be on. Stay away from casey!!!!

Hahah shit Bazardo tonight. Not good offense asleep and Sox wide awake!!!

Well at least we get a run back. Well Bazardo had a horrible inning which means he will be solid for a bit. Usually has a horrible inning and then has some solid ones

[Juliooooo]

Middle of the plate isn’t good even against bad teams I guess

[seattlefan-daBronx]

I hate you Jerry.

Naylor has shoes from the Wizard of Oz.

There's no place like home.
