The ball does seem to be jumping out of Witt’s hand better than previous outings 

His stuff looks pretty good and he really didn't pitch poorly that inning.  Made a bad pitch to a good hitter.  If it was a GIDP, nobody would think twice about it.

Just got off work and we are down 2-0 after half an inning. Wonderful. What happened?

Witt made one bad pitch that cost him.  The runner on 1st drew a walk in a pretty good AB.  Witt pitched pretty well.

HBP?

Yeah, ball 4 hit him.  Worked to a 3-2 count, then got nicked on an inside fastball that they'd say Porter Brown turned into if he was at the plate.

On a procedural note, why didn’t anybody else catch that popup? The pitcher is not supposed to do that.

Our catcher wouldn’t start defensively on some 6A Texas HS JV teams

Witt looked pretty comfy catching that one

Technically/statistically a HBP, but it was ball 4 and he wasn't swinging, so functionally it's the same thing.

Righties are going to have to look to take the breaking ball up the middle or opposite field and fight off fastballs as they come.  Try to pull everything and this guy will eat us alive with that slider.

He'll work to the fastball the next time through the lineup, but that only assumes he can throw it for strikes (he hasn't shown that yet).

that was a great play. and by O'Dowd as well.

Flores has looked REALLY good at SS.  Honestly surprised O'Dowd didn't bobble it, but even managed to turn it.  😄

Witt looks relaxed/confident and that DP really helped him out.  Down 2-0, but I see a lot of good things going on.

Sit fastball. This fucker can’t locate his curve or slider 

I was going to say the opposite.  He can't throw the FB for a strike and is relying heavily on the slider, even on 3-1 and 3-0 counts.  It's flat too and we should f'n hammer it.  

 

ETA:  breaking ball is tailor made for Gaspy's long-ish swing.  And he's got the length to drive anything remotely close.
