I hate, and I mean HATE these uniforms...but I hated Grayson's start much more...it was more than simple hate..awful and unlucky too...a bad combination..

Thought you left?

Hypothetically- who gets Grayson’s spot in the rotation? 
Baumann looks like he’s found a role in the bullpen?

Do they go back to Voth?

Jung is killing us too

Gotta wonder how much longer Grayson is going to be in the majors at this point.  I know we don't have much pitching in the minors, but Grayson really needs to go down and get himself righted because in the ML right now, he's not cutting it.

We really can't have it both ways. He can dominate in AAA with the stuff he's trying to throw up here. He needs to figure it out against the best hitters, sink or swim.

I don't know what's worse, the fact Rodriguez can never seem to stem the bad tide, the little league defense they are playing behind him, or the incessant question asking by Melanie Newman of Jim Palmer.

1. Rodriguez 

2. Newman

3. Defense

The first two are an ongoing problem .

McKenna might end up pitching tonight.

Which is funny because Adley said his ability to persevere and pitch out of trouble was what made him special in the minors. 

Well, he wasn't in all that much trouble in the minors. Plus, there may only be 2-3 hitters on a team and then there's the other guys that couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. Pretty easy to get them out with Rodriguez's stuff.

I'm sorry that Cedric rushed back from whatever his issue was for this.

The good news is that this is just one game. I mean, it sucks that our only ready pitching prospect has been a major disappointment, but it's still just one game.

Send Grayson down and bring up Irvin and take your chances for awhile until Rodriguez can learn to control his emotions and can stem the tide a bit.

This … Irvin at least has had major league success to some extent 

Grayson is a mess mentally 

[Tony-OH]

Voth better get his act together because he's not coming out anytime soon. Of course, we've seen that Voth can not warm up quickly so this is not surprising.

[celery]

We deserve this for sending down Ortiz.

Earl Weaver would get rid of these dumb uniforms after getting hammered in them

Meh, he can get his confidence back and work on his ability to locate.  I think I’m the minors he was thinking he was more than ready.  This is a wake up call
