Nothing worse than following on Gameday and seeing a blue baseball.....in play.....run(s)  

Fuji is frustrating.

We are going to lose to these clowns who were swept by the Nats last weekend.

Fujinami cannot be trusted when it's a one run game even if he starts a cleaning inning.

Why is this guy in the game when we're only up 1? We no better options??

Soooo.... 0% trust in Fujinami at this point. I mean, I guess I could say I have 100% trust he's at least going to give up a homer.

When someone posted earlier in the thread 'Mt. Fuji sighting' my heart dropped to my stomach.  No trust whatsoever.

Anyone can give up a run.

Not much use in having six pitches when you're not allowed to throw half of them and the other half are eminently hittable. People are way too easily seduced by velo and nominal offerings sometimes.

Does Hyde have any brains???? Wtf is he pitching 

Go back and read the previous two pages if you really wonder what people are thinking here about it. 

If you're just venting tho, totally get that.

No. We don’t. Elias decided starting pitching was more important at the deadline. 

[ScGO's]

Irvin should have come out for the 6th

I think they want to know what they have in Fuji before the playoffs.  So they will use him regardless just to see what he can do.  It kind of sucks.

Nice hanging splitter in the middle of the plate.

How many relievers should they have added? They added 2.

You're the pitching expert, not me, so I'll defer to your extensive knowledge. I was just pointing out why he was pulled, you can use your scientific data to prove otherwise if you feel like it, I honestly don't care, though.

I get why he was pulled, I'm giving my OPINION as to why it was it was a bad move. And now Fuji just showed Hyde why he's a dumbass. 

Also it's not like Irvin hasn't started a game since April. He was starting games in mid-July.
