I hope we aren’t planning on wearing these uniforms ever again

Might not want to tune in tomorrow.

Another non competitive start from Grayson...Good night all...

Night, Roy! Say hello to Rod Tidwell if you see him this weekend.

Don't let them score 30 runs again.

Rodriguez just doesn't have the ability to overcome mistakes behind him. This has happened multiple times this year. Innings just snowball on him and he can't control his emotions and make good pitches after something bad happens behind him.

Grayson probably needs a stint in AAA

This meltdown appearance better seal that deal

But I was told it was because he was tipping his pitches....

Either Voth comes in and poops the bed or shuts them down for 3+.

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

[O's84]

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.

He has terrible mound presence. Reminds me of a college pitcher. Lacks poise

Please….no.

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..

[Tony-OH]

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.
