Gunnar looks like he's lost the ability hit an offspeed pitch. He basically has to hope they don't think it for strikes. He also has a hard time laying off them under his hands.
This game has all the makings of a real bad loss.
Poor starting pitching...
Poor hitting after putting up 7 in 3 innings....
Sketchy relief pitching
I don't see this ending well.
Imagine knowing you had a good young offensive talent and just needed to upgrade your pitching and you come out of the offseason with Gibson, Irvin and a hurt Givens and was like, "Good enough."
