Lopez was cruising 11 of 15 outs recorded via Strike out. and Rocco pulls him.

Why not let him keep going?

Oddly, all the attention to analytics has made very little difference in runs scored. The top hitting team in baseball in 2005 was the Red Sox, who averaged 5.617 runs-per-game while batting .281. The top hitting team in 2025 (Yankees) averages 5.611 runs-per-game while batting .262. The difference is microscopic. The only change is how they get there. The Red Sox of '05 struck out 1,044 times. The Yankees of 2025 are on pace to strike out 1,435 times.

Myself, I preferred the old game. Watching baseball in 2025 is flat out boring to me. You couldn't pay me to go to a game. I fail to see how the top hitting team in baseball striking out nearly nine times a game is entertaining. Call me crazy.

He had several long 8,9,10 pitch battles and his pitch count was already at 98 after the 5th inning. It was a great start, we had a solid lead, so I have no problem with when he came out of the game. We were keeping score at the game last night and it sure was fun to count up all those K's and backwards K's.

Pretty good crowd of 20,000 last night. But Target Field was understaffed, especially for food services. I couldn't believe some of the lines I saw. I'd guess less than half the vendors were even operating. People must have been waiting in line for 4 innings just to get a hot dog. Sad really.

Venders must have given up on the team

Apparently there is a virus going through the clubhouse. Sounds like the same bug Bader had.

At least Ober is on his normal rest for today.
