vs. RAYS, 5/17

[Tony-OH]

and Rick Adair makes a visit to give the bullpen time to warm up.

No one is warming up and they shouldn't. Screw Hammel, can't blow the bullpen the rest of the weekend because he can't do his job. I don't care if he gives up ten runs, they should leave him out there for 100 pitches. Of course the way he's going, he'll reach that by next inning.

We can come back but I'm worried long term about Hammel.

I agree.

I'm not, he is a FA at the end of the season.

[Emory Eagle]

Bad starting pitching is not fun to watch and is even worse for winning ballgames. It puts too much pressure on the offense and bullpen.

[WEAVERMAN]

Is he coming back out for the 4th?

[O's84]

When I said long term I meant for this season as far as contending. Sorry for the confusion.

[notyourbuddy]

Nasty change-up. :eektf:

So how much longer until we can get <a href="http://www.delmarvanow.com/article/20130516/BUSINESS/305160036/Can-t-stand-umpire-Electronic-relief-way">this thing</a> into the MLB? At this point, I'm ready to launch a crusade.

We really thought we had a lot of major league average pitching. In reality we have a lot of crap. I am sooooo frustrated with our starters this year.

I remember everyone saying if we saw Gausman before the allstar break something very awful had happened. I think we are seeing the awful take place right now.

[Can_of_corn]

Do you want the bullpen eating six innings with Jair on tap for tomorrow?

My fault, I was messing with you and missed the emoticon.

[Shabadoo25]

That's our #1 starter? At least Garcia throws some strikes in between the bombs he gives up.

[Emory Eagle]

Ugh and watch Hellickson settle into a groove... very frustrating.

Jones continues to swing at garbage
