Throwing 6 innings just about every start whether you're pitching good or not is a tough job.  I'm sure the $8.5 million will make him feel better about the beatings he's going to get. 

Thanks for reminding people here what "innings-eater" means. He did it a few times for us last season, giving up just enough runs for just enough innings to still have a chance once it's bullpen vs. bullpen.

Walk .. a frighing walk

Man this really feels like the beginning of an 8 to 10 game losing streak, nice that we can beat  the teams with an under .400 winning % but it doesn't mean that we will even be competitive against the contenders.

Mullins should just stand at the wall instead of having to run back there every pitch.

[Gurgi]

Mullins that drop is going to kill us.  Mullins looks hurt.  Time for Cowser.

He had a triple and home run, this makes it less likely he'll get the cycle.

Why put Perez in with a close game he is one our worst relievers. I should have known not to get too excited as I checked the score every now and then at work. We always seem to have issues with KC. Do not have a good feeling about this.

At what point do they cut ties with Perez? He's struggled big time against the JV portion of the schedule. What make Elias / Hyde think he'll turn it around against the upper division teams?

The nine hitter walks  .. to get to Witt

Sigh.. now Mullins is hurt. This game is slipping away.

So disgusted with this team right now.  Unbelievable.

We're gonna lose this game.....incredibly...one of the most embarrassing games Ive seen in a long time...

I agree

What is this Freddy Fermin thing??

Beginning to feel a lil like the Mets fans must after being swept 3 games to zero just now by the Tiggers despite starting Scherzer and Verlander at last....

Even if we win this, this pitching isn’t going to cut it with the teams we face the rest of the month. At least not the starting pitching. 

The good news is that it's likely we'll be so far behind in some of those games that the back of the bullpen won't be taxed.

[dystopia]

Alright that's enough. I'm out.
