Well if any one can coach up Paris it’s got to be Wash and crew so at least we have that going for us.

If anyone told me last year that we would win a game in 2024 on the backs of a Tyler Anderson 8-inning masterpiece and only a Kyren Paris 2-run HR, I’d say we’d sooner see pigs fly first.

OR that neither Trout or Ohtani would be playing and we’d win our first series against the Asstros in Houston !

So why did Garcia produce so much suckage in a set up role but mowed down some pretty good hitters with no trouble as a closer?

Great job by Garcia and great play by Paris.

Nice job, Anderson! I’m liking the 5-man rotation much more than the 6.

I think Anderson will be our All Star representative. If he pitches a couple more games like this going into June then he definitely will be.

Agreed, and Heefo is hitting 5th in the league in hitting so he may make it as well.

He did it.

He got the job done.

AND with no baserunners to boot !!

Why wouldn’t they let Anderson finish this one? Pitch count is manageable and Garcia is not a better option.

Neto elbow injury and Garcia entering for the close.

I am starting to drool over the prospects we should get in return for a Tyler Anderson trade. Man oh man.

He and Heefo should definitely be moved as well as Canning.

If we traded Quero and Bush for Giolito I think we’d bitch an Anderson trade, too

Prospects don’t mean shit. How many of them actually pan out ? Maybe 10 %, if that.

You improve your team through drafting well and developing, not through trades.

8 innings of 1 run ball and just got through their best hitters.

Considering he didnt even test it out this is probably a UCL tear

If its TJ, probably done till next summer. Can’t DH him while he heals like Shohei

May ultimately end up at second base.

Of course, just as when he is heating up.

Be ready to see a lot of Paris at SS and Guilllorme at 2B

He does throw hard. I would not be surprised.

And so it goes in Haloville.

I always wondered about the torque hes been putting on his throws. This does not surprise me.

Anderson should also do that arm thing that hitters do when they hit a HR.

Tyler’s got ice on his veins!

We have been bailed out recently by very timely deep pitching starts when we desperately needed it

It’s just tough to win with 3 hits even if one is a 2 run homer.

Yep. I can see this being a 3-2 loss. Tyler pitched admirably but I suspect the bullpen will again be our downfall ….

JackFrost

I think I might bring Tyler back to see if he can get past Tucker… then hand the ball off. Altuve is risky but I definitely don’t want anybody from the bullpen pitching to Tucker next inning …

Asked yesterday, ask again today…..Does Ward have some cash on this series?

We’d need to ask Fletcher’s friend
