I don’t think Claudio can throw faster than 85 mph.

Claudio has been very unimpressive this year

Sutton keeps talking about “different look” and “flamingo” when Claudio is on the mound. SMH. His stuff along with Rowen and Cishek has me unsettled. It comes from an odd angle but hangs up in the strike zone a little too much saying, punish me.

I like Cishek but there is no zip on the ball with crisp movement. He used to be pretty decent. I’m not ready to can him yet.

45 mph when you are used to 85 to 100 or more is hard to hit.

Suzuki and Fletcher both lined out…hard!

Was it last season or the season before when some position player threw 50 mph pitches and the Angels couldn’t even put ’em in play?

If you had just been seeing 92-94 mph it takes a minute to adjust to that.

it’s the miserable 2019 Orioles game mentioned by ryanfea and Cowboy

Yep. The replay officials robbed us in that game. Fletch scored and they called him out.

Well that’s better than the time we lost in extra innings to the Orioles
