ATL Fan in the DMV Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 22 hours ago, ATL Fan in the DMV said: I'll channel @K26dp and ask once more, "Why would you ever throw Swanson a fastball ANYWHERE near the zone?" I hope pitchers never learn. Nats Pitchers Tonight: "Don't throw fastballs in the zone to Dansby, he said" "That's a really big mistake, he said." "He hits big dingers off fastballs, he said." *Dansby proceeds to launch TWO homers off non-fastballs en route to a 12-2 blowout* "I hate that guy ATL Fan in the DMV, we said." "He could go play in traffic, we said." falconsd56, tl;dr and K26dp 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For the A Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 I think I’ll retire from series threads this year. Go out while I’m on top and not become some veteran that gets forced out from decreasing production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swanson looks great right now, he's playing the best baseball he ever as, both sides of the ball. If he can keep at least close to this level of play, he's not just a core player but a top 5 shortstop in baseball.

Unknøwn Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Its Sonny Gray vs Aaron Nola in Philly today. Mets have to face Scherzer tonight on ESPN. Mets are flirting with .500. If they lose tonight they'll be just 1 game over at 59-58. Theyve already went from a 4 game lead to 1.5 games back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a 25 year plus window of productive years. Fastballs are overrated in your world. Don’t go just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTiger7222 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 This dude pitching for the Nationals throws a crap ton of breaking balls. Reminds me of Jamie Moyer. That's all Moyer threw it was slow, slower, and slowest and it was brutal to watch guys flail away with no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
