Dunn the Tiger tamer game thread (5-18-21)

We really don't like hitting the baseball lol

Dunn looks really good. He made 1 mistake and paid for it, but this may be as well as I've seen him pitch.

If you think about it he has a tendency for walks. No doubt gets his pitch count up.
Maybe he's been over aggressive there and gives up the fat fast ball.
But I love what he's doing so far. Attack the corners of the zone, get ahead of the count,
then knock em out with the curve, off-speed, or slider.
One thing Dunn has going for him is a strike out pitch.

Yep. Thats why I think he would be great in the pen if he flames out as a starter. Add 3-4 mph hopefully to his fastball, and play his slider off that. Good... Luck...

Seager has odd little mannerisms both at bat and in the field. Anyone else notice that?

I have noticed that his whole career, too.
I'm a total layman but I have often wondered if:

What is TMJ and what are its symptoms?
Signs and symptoms of TMJ disorders may include: Pain or tenderness of your jaw. Pain in one or both of the temporomandibular joints. Aching pain in and around your ear. Difficulty chewing or pain while chewing. Aching facial pain. Locking of the joint, making it difficult to open or close your mouth.

Probably very wrong but it's what I thought about Kyle.

Oh dear. We're being no hit again..................

A pitch barely outside the zone at the top of the strike zone. Torrens lunges at it and doesn't even try to frame it and steal a strike...

[desbcoach]

Yeah offense was good three games now resting on their supposed laurels

It's pretty amusing to watch some batters hit against Dunn, especially when he has the ball moving in the bottom of the zone. It's like they're trying to swat down at it.

That's a great point daBronx, something that Shef clearly lacks unfortunately. It's interesting that Dunn is actually turning into the better pitcher. He's definitely exceeded my expectations this year.

I hate Torrens. Just call up Raleigh already, fuck.

Shocker, Torrens fails to block another pitch... I'm ready for him to go as much as anyone else on the roster.
