And Voth needs to go when Givens or Tate returns 

There is 500 pitchers on the FA market that are not this garbage

And yet here you are

I think I’ve been on here since 2005. The Os have had ups and downs but one thing has been consistent the whole time.

They need to let him learn how to finish ML hitters and how to throw more than 85 effective pitches in a start.

How they have babied him to this point isn't helping him now.

[Pat Kelly]

Norfolk Tides may be a better team right now.

There are no detractors. Just people seeing that his command is not very good. I want to love what I see. I don't. I will always call them as I see them. 

Rodriguez couldn't get through 5 inning against the A's. He couldn't put six batters away with two strikes. He was not very good on his T-shirt night.

This is why you wait a but before you celebrate "prospects" with T-shirt nights, but that's not the way the world works anymore.

CoC’s comment was about Mountcastle not Grod.

Remember before Hyde brought Voth in, when this game was still entertaining? 

Why anyone would bring Voth into a close game is beyond me. Hyde just really doesn't have a good feel for when to use a struggling pitcher.

[Aristotelian]

I think Voth needs to go

Voth looks like the National version of last year.   Why cant he do any better?  Now he makes G Rods stats look awful.   No help at all from this guy. 

GRod made Grods stats look awful.

1. Any

2. Body

For the life of me, I cannot figure out Voth in a high leverage situation. Or any situation really outside of a blowout loss.

[Bahama O's Fan]

Austin "Tommy Hunter" Voth

[Jagwar]

Has Voth has basically allowed 5 runs to score on 11 pitches?

As much as G-Rod struggled, A’s hitters had a nice approach. 

The brilliant fall-behind-in-the-count and wait for GRod to give you a fat pitch strategy?
