Man, watching Rodriguez tonight makes you think it might not be a bad idea to just stop drafting pitching altogether. Load up on position players and trade them for established pitching.

Oh well. Terrible start for Rodriguez. There will be better days ahead but his command needs to improve significantly. 

You know where people say, "There's nothing more he needs to prove in AAA" I point to starts like this. It's not learning how to get major league hitters out, its about command his stuff. 

You can't be able to only get your fastball over for strikes.

This team hasn’t drafted and developed a good SP in my lifetime

truly one of the worst performances from a so called elite pitcher I can  remember...get him out...

My 80 year old deaf mother was screaming at the TV to pull Grayson.  It was kind of funny.

Or you could draft more than one and try not to pick all your eggs in 1 basket? Just a thought…

Grayson is reminding me of young Gausman

Which has to worry you, because he and Arietta only found success - and great success, at that - after escaping Orioles pitching development.

It's just more of the same.  So, so, so tired of it.
