What have you done for me lately

Reds, Braves, and Giants all have hotter pitching going into the playoffs. Not only do we not have Strasburg but the other 4 have all taken a step back from where they were early in the season.

I'm sure there have been many other starters pulled before retiring a single batter but this one by Randy Wells was awful by any standard. He threw only 16 pitches.

September team ERA: 3.55.
Giants September team ERA: 3.65.

The Braves and Reds have been red-hot pitching-wise in September - I'll give you that - but our offense is also second in baseball this month in runs scored while the Braves are 24th and the Reds are 28th.

what's a pitch-out?

Basically an intentional ball (like you would throw when intentionally walking someone) - this is done to make it easier to throw a potential base stealer out if you have a hunch they'll be running.

I could be wrong but I believe it's when a pitcher intentionally throws a ball way outside to give the catcher a better shot at throwing out a potential base stealer.

Thanks, I have seen that but didn't know the name.

After seeing this disaster, I definitely don't want to see us in the play-in game. Anything can happen.

And of course the Braves are winning.

His recent line: 0-3 with an ERA over 6. Yep, we're done.

Ross throws out Baxter at 2B to end the top of the 5th. Mets still scoreless.
