All three starters have been about what I would have expected. If we ignore the stinker of an inning that Duffey threw yesterday, the bullpen has been nearly rock solid. Overall in this series, I feel the pitching has been decent. It will be interesting to see if this opens the gates a little bit for the offense. A visit from pitching coach Wes Johnson followed and Ober went back to work. After managing his way through the first and second inning, he started the third giving up a double and a walk before a bloop single scored a run. Ober lasted five innings, and though he gave up four runs, three of them happened on the aforementioned pitch that he would surely like back. “He seemed kind of pissed off.” Ober confirmed that the home run really bugged him and helped him get more aggressive over his last couple of innings. “He seemed good,” said manager Rocco Baldelli.
