In response to "Alek Manoah had a day. 1 2/3 innings: allowed three hits, four earned runs, walked a batter with no strikeouts and 3 hit batters on 38 pitches -- nm" by Beaker 🍺

Normally I ignore spring training numbers for pitchers as they're usually working on things and not always trying hard to get guys out.

They could be working on locating a pitch or their fastball and will throw those pitches despite it being obvious or the wrong pitch for that moment.

But with Manoah yesterday I'd be concerned about the three HBP. That's not normal and he was having serious issues last year that he was supposed to have fixed in the offseason.
The rest of that line isn't good but not normally worrisome this early in spring training but those hbp's are not good.
