2024 MLB Playoffs Thread (non-Royals)

[SHOWTIME]

Who's winning it this year?

This is a thread for non-Royal playoff games since I assume there will be a separate one for the Royals…

Beginning to think of two scenarios.

He's either:

1. Tipping his pitches

or

2. Arm tiredness

[Coach]

Brutal. Was not even in the zone.

**** this home plate umpire. POS.

[Coach]

Uh oh...

Maximum stress is on....

[Coach]

Damn

Clase is gassed. Just look on the MLB app. Had a few cutters at 96 mph. Dude throws 100 regularly and up to 102. Not surprised with how much they've used him.

And Kahnle threw 18 changeups after throwing 26 last night. He just stopped throwing his fastball. Arm must be fried. The top bullpen arms are getting hit now. Royals could have had an advantage with their starters

Clase has never been a true strikeout pitcher despite his triple-digit cutter. He's a command guy that relies on weak contact moreso than swing-and-miss.
