We are a young and extremely flawed team. We likely do not go far at all. Henderson is the king of errors lately. It is a disappointment. Adley also is a major disappointment. Maybe next year they bloom. But next year we wont have Burnes or Santander. So we will just suck in different ways. -
I guess the acc in your username doesn't stand for "accurate." I mean, it's a valid point that Cal was error prone then, with 25-26-26 errors in 1983-4-5. So why hyperbolize to "twice as many"? Gunnar's on pace for 24. (ugly loss overreaction alert): Ortiz gone, I'm on Griff O'Ferrall watch now. Or voting Mateo '25. Yes, even though Cal improved. Machado is the better comp. -

This was a game a true ace has to win. He was paired against a struggling pitcher, and our "ace" hasn't been dominant in the last 3-4 starts. As I expected Burnes came up small even though the line said he was only charged with one earned run(Ohtani's leadoff first inning HR was another thing an "ace" doesnt give up).When Urias made a horrible error , an "ace" bears down and doesn't groove a pitch for a 3-run HR which was basically the game right there.Then tack on a terrible wild pitch in which the runner took TWO bases, another Henderson error on a routine play, and there you have it. Our Ace has given up 6 runs in all and there was little evidence he will be the dominating pitcher we saw in the first half of the season. I know the errors were the key to the game, but usually the great pitchers find a way to overcome the extra outs...and Burnes didnt do that.I know Eflin will return to the rotation in the Colorado series, and then two weeks later, Grayson. But if Burnes keeps pitching like this, it will be a very, very short post season. All and all a very disappointing performance from our so called "Ace",,and the defense was pitiful too. A winnable game...and a lost opportunity. -

Burnes has been putting up close to a 9 ERA for a month and he has lost his ability figure his way out of trouble. I don't know if he has a tired arm or mentally tired or something is wrong. At this point, running him out there every 5th day for the same terrible results is stupid. -

You're not kidding, wow! : https://www.espn.com/mlb/recap/_/gameId/401570466 -
I apologize, I was a bit rude with the way I responded. Anyways, I think you are looking at this the wrong way. He's handed a 3-1 lead and got the first batter out in the 3rd. Then Urias makes an error. Then he implodes and gives up 4 runs. Just cause they are unearned doesn't get him off the hook. He turned a 1 out base runner into a 4 run inning. This is your ace and he has been bad all month and he came up small again. And he can't control the running game either, he allowed 4 SB. Usually his inability to hold runners doesn't matter because he doesn't allow many base runners but that's not been the case this month and it is really hurting the team. Later in the 5th inning he allowed a lead off hit from the #9 batter on a 0-2 count. Next Ohtani singed a ball at 108 MPH but thankfully it was right at O'Hearn who dropped it and didn't turn the DP but still got an out. That easily couldn't have been a double. Eventually his inability to control the run game combined with Gunnar's error led to another run. So I'm not saying it's all his fault, but just pointing out that just looking at his outing with the 5 unearned runs is not looking at the whole picture And btw, I am not closing the book on him this season because I still believe that he'll turn it around. But it is frustrating to see him have another outing like this.
