Cann doing his best IB impersonation.

Shouting 17 as he stomps to the mound. I don't blame him, watching that kid unable to throw a damn strike.

I loved every minute of that. He's pissed about having to use Price there and for good reason.

I was wondering if anyone else caught that.

If a coach ain't bitchin while teaching he ain't gonna win

EDIT: There was originally a tweet here from what seemed a reliable source suggesting that McQuary wasn't given time to warm up. Have a screenshot, but since the author deleted it, maybe they realized they were mistaken.

I noticed he was very unhappy and more animated about it than I have ever seen him. Didn't attempt to do any lip reading. McQuary threw 8 straight balls to load the bases against Valley no less and none of them were really that close. That about had me cussing too.

I was feeling the same way. Looked like he cussed a bit walking out, looked at McQuary and just said, "ball!" Then didn't even look at him again.

8 straight fastballs I believe -- to the same miss location with no adjustment made. That's an unprecedented number of precise misses in a row with the same pitch. I'm sure it happens, but can't pinpoint when it has. In general, a coach will flip on a pitcher that misses with the same pitch in the same spot 3-4 times in a row. Throw behind the dude on the 5th one for a reset and go from there.

I'll be interested to see how McQuary responds. Can generally tell a lot about the mental makeup of a guy in this spot.

Mcquary is walking a batter an inning. He can be effective so that has to be frustrating
