Miami pen will be hard to beat.

Get some runs, pinecones.

A few innings too late, but trusting Akin with runners on didn’t really pay off. He just doesn’t have the stuff to get out of those kinds of situations without allowing at least 2.

He’s a fine 5th/6th inning guy. Not sure many guys you bring in during the 3rd inning are going to have lights out stuff.

I think it’s more indicative of Suárez. He’s averaging less than 5 IP/start and has been brutal the past month, with his ERA slowly catching up to his peripherals. He is just not preventing runs well enough anymore and isn’t providing nearly enough length to be a viable starter.

Need Puk to be wild.

Typical, get behind and then do nothing on offense. It’s been that way all year. The only comeback I can recall in a long time was the Yankees game last weekend and I wouldn’t even call that our doing, it was a gift. If we don’t get a lead early we’re pretty much down for the count.

I can't wait for Tanner Scott to get the save in this game. 

[Chavez Ravine]

Ramon is on the cusp of no longer being a MLB player.

[LookitsPuck]

This offense just can’t figure out how to score late meaningfully.

I just want to win the damn series. Who knows what we get tomorrow.

Akin has the 2nd highest strikeout ratio in the pen at almost 11.

He’s one of the few O’s to be hitting over the last couple weeks.

Ain't happening against this bullpen. Had their chances early.. so frustrating. 

[Surhoffan17]

This one is good, but no excuse for such a lousy effort. It's like any slight pitching competence baffles us.

[Moshagge3]

Since Cowser got thrown out at third what are we, 1-13? Two good days in Texas but otherwise this offense has been butt for a while.
