Cease is a high walk, high strikeout pitcher.
voice-verified
It might be a kind of high pitch count slog.
voice-verified
where there's lots of walks, lots of strikeouts, and not many balls in play.
voice-verified
And that's sort of what happened, but this was just such an extreme version of it, and the arc, the journey we all went on was certainly not what you would have expected before the game.
voice-verified
audio is difficult, but it's just the point of how absurd
voice-verified
and how unlikely it is that you find yourself in that spot and you have this escape act.
voice-verified
result.

one run would have been a fantastic outcome and now we're putting that layer on top of it of cease didn't look right and he's coming off this rough start it's not like it had been you know a couple bloop singles and you know he hit a guy because he lost one pitch but fundamentally all the stuff was there like his velocity was way down he was coming off a rough outing we didn't know what to expect
voice-verified
And then there was this face plant out of the gate.
voice-verified
And for him to just turn things on its head, I mean, who knows what would have happened if he gave up three runs?
voice-verified
Would they still have scored eight?
voice-verified
Maybe they win this ballgame.
voice-verified
Maybe none of that mattered.
voice-verified
But it certainly felt in the moment like it mattered.
voice-verified
And I think there would have been a very different atmosphere in this ballpark and around this game in terms of the tension if they had fallen, you know, an early two, three, four run deficit.
voice-verified
He deserves credit.
voice-verified
it for navigating this outing without his best stuff and there is some intentionality to the way he works his velocity and where he gears up and gears down but certainly whether it's whatever you want to call it fatigue wear and tear like he's just not where he was physically earlier in the season he's battling and at the end of the day
voice-verified
Basically, any pitcher on the planet, you say, you're going to give me five runs.
voice-verified
Sorry, if you give me five runs, that's a problem.
voice-verified
If you're going to give me five innings and allow a single run, you're going to take that.
