It both. There is some swarf (machining debris) left in the machining process. This has been the case in most engines produced in history. The reason these fail is because the tolerances needed to push the 35va-fts (3.4) hard enough to make the hp people these days want while meeting govt CAFE standards are so tight that it necessitates 0w-20 oil. In older engines using heavier oil, the bearings rode on a thick enough pad of oil that fine swarf could pass without locking up the bearings. Because these engines use such thin oil, there is very little oil pad for the bearings to ride one, which means any debris can cut into and even lock up the bearings.

Shifts tend to be wildly unreliably when you pitch away from them consistently.

Sheerin was the right call. Didn't work

I didn't hate the move, but think Sheerin has been at his best this year in the back end of games for 1-2 innings. It may have been asking him to go 3+ and 50 pitches. He's done it once or twice, but maybe not his strength?

Every poster on this site saw this coming. Jay using advanced metrics though

This guy has a bp fastball, a mid slider, and a big looping curve. No margin for error at all. I don't like this

How many innings is Sheerin's ceiling?

Might go over the rf wall

I am not a college coach so maybe I just don't understand, but shifting pull side while throwing 97+ on the outside confuses me.

No sure if that foul was actually hit that for or if it just looked big due to that short porch. Need a banana for scale.


Would have been out of any park though

Not a strong ab from Patrick

Hope he gives us 2 more
