Cubs 7/9

[HowAboutThat]

To be fair, if the defense has done a reasonable job, three runs wouldn’t have scored.

[Emory Eagle]

This team needs some pitching.  And it will not be cheap to acquire.

[FlaO'sFan]

I feel a comeback. Lets go.

"He has just not been able to finish" says a baffled Ben McDonald. Have they not watched Kremer's entire career?

[Billy F-Face3]

I've seen so many home runs hit off of cutters that Orioles pitchers threw, that I really hate cutters these days.

[CynBeth]

Yesterday I missed no baseball and could not wait until this game and now it seems like forever until my regular shows start at 8 pm. This will be a long week. The NL always seems to have our number and teams from the central and sucky teams.

This start likely cost the Orioles some prospects.  No way we can depend on this guy.  Likely he gets tommy John in a month or so as well.  

[casadeozo]

Kremer is so inconsistent. He goes from a gem to a complete garbage outing. He was up in the count 1-2 and gives up a 3 run homer.

you just cannot rely on him. Period 

[ShoelesJoe]

How the hell does Hyde leave Kremer in for that long? Nobody was even throwing in the bullpen.

And what are you basing that off of?

Yeah usually Hyde yanks pitchers too early if anything but I think he left Kremer in too long today.

[Roy Firestone]

This will be a blowout loss but we will score some garbage runs to make it look close...I say something like 9-5...Oh goody...its the fire marshall, Bryan Baker...

If nothing is done to improve this pitching, prepare for heartbreak in October. Next year, rinse and repeat. Gaudy regular season record, heartbreak in October.

Do they have any comeback wins this year (not talking about being down 1-0 early). Seems like when it goes bad early or they get behind it’s pretty much drop dead and roll over. Not good for the playoffs or down the road.

He gave up 2 HR’s and 3 BB’s in 4 innings and struck out 16% of the batters he faced. The defense didn’t help but he was awful.
