Even hoglund got his over outs despite giving up a ton of runs. Some these managers are impossible to read, we have total ass clowns like Rocco who yanks guys when they cruising but will leaves Lopez in while getting smashed, other guys like A’s manager lets this kid pitch 6 innings despite getting knocked around every other inning!
I guess the 3 spot Luzardo gave up before turning it on and shutting A’s down with a ton of k’s was a bit a precursor to this shit mess, I actually still had hope even after the 4 run 1st and for a minute it looked like he was gonna calm down and so same thing to milw, but for some reason he had no ability to get out the top 3 in that lineup, something has to be going really wrong wit him, his stuff way to good for these last 2 performances, I wonder if someone found a tell where he tipping pitches? I guess I need to go back and look at the pitch tracks the last few games cause I’m pretty sure the velo and spin have remained the same. Clearly something not right, he looked like a cy young candidate up until these last 2 starts. The 3 at start of game vs A’s I just wrote off as him not being ready to go out the gate, then the 4 today I was like “ok he not getting properly warmed up” but then he gets smashed in another inning after seemingly settling in and I gotta question wtf going on?? Luxardo had only started one other game in Milw and he got knocked around there as well, maybe for some reason he doesn’t like pitching in that park?
Sorry if I talked anyone off skubal, they were giving out free money and I found a way to talk myself out of it!! Just dumb.
