Dodgers lineup a tough test for walk-prone GilSometimes, it’s not quite obvious what the story of an upcoming game or matchup is going to be. Sometimes, it’s one good team against another, without a clear “what to watch for” hook beyond that.
This is not one of those times.
Can Fat Joe perform again tonight?
Gil is a fascinating P before and after injury. Like Blake snell he lives outside the zone. Dodgers don’t chase. He doesn’t throw strikes.
But his fastball is unhittable or was. And his breaking stuff moves well. After his injury he lost velocity and now has reversed. He now throws his curve and slider for strikes and his fastball he keeps away from hitters. 180 degree change Pretty sure he faces La and gave up 3 runs in 5 innings and got La to chase. Ohtani totally fooled by him. Shohei beats up bad pitchers but hasn’t evolved to own the top arms and thus is not a playoff stud like Freddie.. .
