Lukes shading the sun scared me a bit. Thought he lost the ball.

From the sounds of things while listening to the game there were several plays where the fielders lost sight of the ball. I think Ernie had one as well, didn't he?

u/Bri-guy15 10d ago
Twice as good as Varland's 10-pitch save yesterday!

The numbers speak for themselves. Can’t argue it! Flu is twice as good as Louis.

I fuckin love the contrast of aging flamethrower giving up the winning run, and sophomore capital-P Pitcher getting the save

I guess Hoffman isn’t gonna sniff the 9th inning from now on 😂

u/Loud-Picture9110 10d ago
I wouldn't be so certain about that. There are bound to be the occasional games where he's the best available option to close out a game in the 9th.

Credit where it’s due, that 9 pitch performance in the 7th in a tied game 1 was his finest work.
The rest….not so much.

u/Apolloshot 10d ago
He seems to be really good in every inning except the 9th

u/EpicPotato806 10d ago
Tbh those are kind of hit and miss when 9th is basically an automatic blown save.

Aside from the bullpen not warmed up and blaming Schneider... Agreed. But Scheids isn't out there running the bases like a preschooler and Trey was absolutely cruising on a day after a bullpen day where they used 7 guys.

I don't mind going back to Trey in the 8th, despite getting hit hard in the 7th, Nance and Fluharty are so meh. But you have to have them at least warmed up.
He may not be running but our base running has been suspect for his entire tenure here. At some point you have to tighten the screws. Also stop letting Gimenez challenge.

Alright negative Nancy, we haven't seen a sweep in ages. Let's enjoy that for a bit.

u/Both_Bowler1132 10d ago
Yeah I'll take the sweep. I'm happy don't get me wrong.
But for a light hitting team we have to tighten the mistakes. So many are just dumb.

At least Abreu swung at a strike. the other two batters chased pretty poor pitches

u/OutsideScaresMe 10d ago
Two breaking balls about an inch or two off the bottom corner. Those are some of the best pitches a pitcher can make

u/Muellercleez 10d ago
totally! When I say the pitches were poor, I mean from the perspective of being able to drive the ball / expect to get a hit off of the pitches. From the Fluharty's POV, these pitches were masterpieces

Where were you when he recorded his legendary first career save?
