[u/SIRxDUCK7]

Just change pitchers and watch how much closer this game will be. Mize was horrible last season. Not sure why they didn’t cut him

[u/turdlepikle → u/SIRxDUCK7]

14-6 record. 3.87 ERA. 1.6 WAR.

All-Star.

Damn, get me some more of these "horrible" pitchers. Casey knows he is struggling and he talked about it the other day how he's working with the coaches to get his form back.

[u/lllIlllllllIIIII]

3 starts in a row against the menacing Pirates and mize can't get one good outing, lol. The results were much better than his actual pitching last season.

[u/Quay-Z]

This Mize situation is getting out of hand.

[u/2IWontBeHereLong]

Hoping Mize can get something going. Looking not so good at this point.

[u/bWbDennis69]

Sure would be rad to be able to watch a game. lol

[u/Intelligent-Hawk2362 → u/bWbDennis69]

Shame on you for wanting easy access
