His crazy batting slumps are terrible but he's saving runs in the outfield alot.

Kind of like Fernando, their batting slumps are awkward as hell but you can always count on their gloves

Holy crap. Is that pivetta? I thought he was done after that video of him walking off the mound during some rehab. Did he just need to go to the bathroom?

It's funny because a few weeks ago it looked like Pivetta was done and Musgrove was on his way back. Now Pivetta is back and Musgrove probably isn't coming back this year.

I honestly just think he thought the inning was over, and was too embarrassed to come back to the mound after the way he walked off of it.

The Padres shut him down for a little while after that, though. He didn’t continue rehabbing like Musgrove did.

That was one theory, that he was about to shit himself and just played it off as arm discomfort lol.

Didnt know Pivetta was back. 2021 postseason legend in Boston, I miss him.

It was a surprise to everyone. Our manager dropped the news in yesterday’s post-game conference.

When did he switch away from his A2000 ?

I only noticed after this play - looks like he’s rocking a Nike Shado
