Fri July 16: Kansas City here we come

[Moose Milligan]

Do we need to keep seeing Akin?

I suppose we have to because there's no one else, but he's so bad.  Royals are just squaring him up like it's BP.

[O's84]

Akin is doing his usual awfulness on the mound.

[Dreadnought]

Fully rested bullpen!

[KillerTofu]

Does Hyde think that trotting the likes of Akin or Harvey out there every fifth day is going to bring something better? It’s the exact same thing every damn time! I believe the term “insanity” fits into that logic. 

[Moose Milligan]

Goddamit Severino.  Get out of here and take Akin with you.

[Tony-OH]

Carlos Santana bailed him out there.  That should have been a walk.

[O's84]

Akin is so bad that he should request witness protection. 

[Moose Milligan]

This seriously is batting practice.  These guys are getting their swings in.

Akin's stuff is so f'ing bland.  He does NOTHING well, except get barreled by the opposition.

[Tony-OH]

Honestly, I hope Hyde keep Akin out there to give up like 20 runs. Elias keeps shoving Akln down his throat because his "analytics" says his pitches should work. Unfortunately analytics doesn't take command into consideration. He's always been this guy. He can not consistently command throughout a game.

[Moose Milligan]

Ben McDonald, stop peeing on my shoes and telling me it's raining.  The stuff is NOT GOOD.

Check back on the bullpen come Sunday.

Lol Valdez coming in after Akin.  Hyde raising the white flag in the 2nd inning.  

Akin wasn't even close with that one, he's so bad.

You could say that for about 75% of this staff.  

[O's84]

He walks Dozier who is hitting .174.  Way to go Akin!
