Senzel's ball would've been gone in 19 parks.
Moustakas's ball in the next AB would've been gone in 25 parks.
No runs.

Sounds exactly like what I would've written. You said it first. My sentiments exactly.Originally Posted by cumberlandreds
Yeah, I think Ty will be just fine. Tiant threw consecutive games of 156 and 163 in the '75 WS and he was like 90 years old at the time. Our big, strong strapping lad can handle the strain. I'm sure of it.
Mahle shared all of the credit for his performance with Garcia -- the backup moved into a starting role after Tyler Stephenson went on the 10-day IL last week with a fractured right thumb. On a couple of occasions, Mahle told Garcia he must have been reading his mind about pitch selection. "I know you’ve got to make pitches, but the sequences he was calling was the greatest I’ve ever seen, by far," Mahle said. "It was the greatest game I think I’ve ever seen called. Keeping them off-balanced, going in, out, up, down -- that was really cool. I had to shake a couple times, but I shook to the wrong pitch. He was probably right. That was really cool. I’m really proud of him."
Garcia considered that the best compliment he could receive. "That really means a lot to me," Garcia said. "I spend a lot of time getting to know these guys, a lot of time watching video and doing my homework and my due diligence." As good as Mahle has been, he's lacked good fortune. In his last four starts, the right-hander is 0-0 with a 1.30 ERA. In all four games, he was the victim of a blown save. "I’m more focused on going out there and giving us a chance to win," Mahle said. "Whatever happens, happens. … That’s what good starters do."

Oh, I agree. We need new Ownership.
"One problem with people who have no vices is that they're pretty sure to have some annoying virtues."
Which means nothing, other than Bell rewarding them on unique occasions when he got confirmation from the Pitcher that they felt fine. Otherwise, Bell has been anally consistent with keeping all of the staffs' pitch-count's down to a healthy and consistent number.

Mahle had a Game Score of 93 last night. That's the highest number by anyone this season.
The Top-5:
Mahle 93
Buehler 91
Kershaw 90
Detmers 88
Pivetta 87
Greene's best was 83.
Mahle's previous best was 68 (his last start).
The Game Thread was pretty cool last night.
You could see that he was pitching the game of his life early in the game. I said as such somewhere in the 3rd, 4th or 5th innings. And, I didn't even have visual. There was a different, unique feel to it.

Yes please let’s think of the poor children. It’s one game. Not a consistent issue at all. He’s barely been allowed to go past 90-95 all season.
