Who has those player graphs? Meyers has to have one of the weakest arms in baseball.
I don't have the ability to post pictures, but in 2024 his arm strength was 48th percentile, so right about average. Here's the link:

His range is 97th percentile though. Pretty insane. He's helping out Altuve and Smith a lot. Probably a lot of the reason the organization feels comfortable going with two guys who haven't played OF before at the highest level of baseball.

All 5 runs allowed in the 3rd were unearned. Blubaugh sneaks his ERA back down to 4.50 after 6 Ks in 4 IP.

Should we call a 4.50 ERA the Montero line? Lol

Blubaugh definitely wasn't helped by his defense or, in a return to form, his offense. But he battled and got a lot of whiffs. May not be ready yet but the potential is there.

I honestly never expect much from seemingly a last-minute call up, so I'm certainly ok with today, especially with taking the series. Sure, would have liked to win the last game, but I'll take 2 of 3 every single time.

How did the offense not help?

He got a 1 run lead in the 1st.

Not saying it was his fault because he did get a DP ball that Pena botched but the offense gave him a lead.

Color me stunned on that arm strength ranking. My apologies to Noodle Meyers if accurate.

The fact that we are leaving April over .500 is a miracle.

This team is good -- but we typically suck in April.

It'd be a lot different sans a Pena error in an inning prior to a 3rd row Crawford granny. We've had a lot of traffic against Jobe, just not many hits.

Jobe was pissed he lost a W getting pulled in the 5th inning.

That was frustrating. Some self-inflicted wounds have impacted this game.

If Cam had hit that chopper he might've beaten it out. Gotta swing the bat!

We know how baseball go. Likely that was the last chance to come back from 7-1.

To confirm, you're expecting to win every game 1-0? I guess that's why a quality start is six innings, zero runs allowed.

Said in jest but pissing all over themselves after a leadoff home run is not helping in my mind, no.

Yup. I do expect him to grow from it. My guess is he was guessing off-speed was coming. He'll learn MLB pitchers will throw anything with 2 strikes.
