At least two of them were bombs as well, landing in the outside seating area of a restaurant above the right field bleachers. One of them actually bounced inside.
The fans love him already. He'll obviously get relegated to the bench when Freeman recovers, but I'm sure they'll use him as a DH any time they play in an AL park, and he will be their go to PH as well. |

Unfortunately, so is Kershaw.
If only we could convince him that it's a playoff game..... |

Don't have Adams anymore to get in his head. Would've been worth it to keep him just for the psychological thing

We're all shocked that Broxton blew the game as soon as he entered.
SHOCKED I SAY!!!

He looked pretty sharp last night; velocity was back in the mid 90s and his off-speed pitches were working again.
Which is good because Matheny, predictably, set him up to fail. Oh's not been good against lefties this year and we have THREE left-handed relievers in the 'pen, so of course he brings him in in the middle of an inning (after warming him twice already) to face the lefty heart of the Dodgers order. Having him face Seager was irritating because there was a 0% chance that Roberts lifts him for a pinch hitter and having him face Grandal was almost as bad given Grandal's ridiculous splits and the Dodgers likely unwillingness to go to their backup catcher in an extra inning game. Grandal can't hit lefties worth a damn but he's among the better hitters out there right now against righties. So of course he throws Oh against Seager and Grandal. And we have Lyons on the roster because Matheny needs his long-reliever but of course we lose a 13 inning ballgame that Lyons never appears in. Because idiot.

I remember BRC asking why I was so bent out of shape years ago when we traded for Broxton and I just couldn't get him to understand that it's because Broxton is an objectively bad pitcher who ANY system in baseball should be able to produce at the league minimum. Instead the Cardinals have given the guy several million. Tui sits in Memphis despite finally starting to figure things out. Jon Broxton, 'tested veteran', continues to give games away because he has no fastball command and no off-speed pitch. He's effectively a zero pitch pitcher. But hey, he's old so he has that going for him.
