Amaya so solid, what a night

 

[CycloneErik]

Classic pitchers' duel tonight.

Sliding feet first at home is strange decision

 

[RoseClone]

That's how Shaw has been driving the ball in Iowa.

You should always slide feet first into home.

 

[cycloneworld]

Wild back and forth game so far tonight.

The other strange thing is Hoerner slid head-first when he could have walked over the plate.

Would think the on deck batter would give some instruction in Hoerner's case. No reason to risk an injury.

I feel like no one does that anymore. You can be more flexible with your body sliding head first going home need be

You risk injury sliding head first into home. Broken fingers, wrist, shoulders, concussion. Smart decision is feet first. They actually told Seiya to stop sliding head first into second for that very reason.

Pomeranz has been such a good pickup. Crazy he hasn’t pitched in the league since 2021

 

[CycloneDaddy]

WTF Tucker, catch the ball.

WTF Tucker, catch the ball.

He has seemed off last few weeks. Hitting and defense

Saw a girl at a softball game in DSM a year or two ago slide head first into second and did something to her spine. They had to have an ambulance come get her. Think she was ultimately ok but she wasn’t moving while she was there.

WTF Tucker, catch the ball.

Yes, but also don’t throw a middle/middle slider 0-3

 

[Clonefan32]

Unreal choke job.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Well we still don’t have a closer

 

[BigJCy]

F me

 

[RoseClone]

Catch the ******* ball!!

 

[cycloneworld]

What an awful loss. No one on with 2 outs and 2 strikes and you hang a slider. Unreal.

 

[cyatheart]

Man...palencia has such a good arm...but his slider doesn't slide much and he still struggles throwing strikes consistently
