The Daily Jackpot is brought to you by River Rock Casino, where we have to talk more about the night that Robbie Ray had, because guess what?
He's been stellar in his last two outings.
Really good stuff tonight.
Zero earned runs, one run scored by the Athletics, gave up just two hits, four walks, six Ks in eight full innings of work tonight.
Then you go back to his last outing, where you're seeing that leads to those numbers that you see on your screen here, dominant in relief of Adrian Houser in that win against the Braves.
Came in after the rain delay, gave up just two hits, zero earned runs there in more than six innings of work.
I know you mentioned commanding, commanding the fastball and attacking the strike zone.
Like, what's been different in these last two outings about both of those two things, and I guess beyond, in terms of what he's been able to do?
Well, I ju- I just felt like he wasn't off at all, you know?
Even, he walked four guys tonight.
Okay, that, that's, whatever.
But- Yeah he was around the zone, and he was aggressive around the zone and in the zone.
And, you know, he usually lives and dies with that high fastball, and it, at Oracle Park, that's a great pitch, 'cause it's a hard park- Mm-hmm to hit home runs in.
You get a lot of fly balls here.
But, you know, he had the slider working a little bit, some change-ups today.
And, you know, the, the walks are gonna happen for him sometimes- Yeah just because, I think, of the, you know, how much he puts into every pitch.
The mechanics may be hard to, you know, repeat time after time- Yeah with the energy he exudes.
But, uh- Grunt master.
Yeah.
Yeah, the grunt master.
But I mean, it w- it was a good sight to see.
So now you got your top two guys in the rotation probably throwing as well as they have all year the last couple starts.
So it's something good to build on, something good to go into the break with.
Mm-hmm, that's right.
Webb and Ray have both been dealing a really good one tonight for Robbie.
Eight innings of work, throwing 102 pitches, allowing zero earned runs.
