Ton of K’s. Not typical for him.

It’s amazing how every Gunnar error becomes quasi cataclysmic.  Just make the routine plays Gunnar. Inning ending DP or 3run HR. Unbelievable.

I wonder if they keep stats of runs after an error because Gunnar has to lead the league. Every time he makes an error is it seems to cost the team.

Was it a potential DP ball?

In fairness, Vlad, Jr. hit it pretty sharply, but yeah it was right at Henderson, and of course like Cal it is no accident Vlad is very double play prone.

The ball looked like it hit a rock or just took a crazy hop. We are still up four runs, you'll take that going into the bottom half of the fifth every time.

He has let up some hard contact. 

Remember though Toronto just faced him a few days ago.

Toronto reaps early benefits from the Turner trade as the guy who replaced him in the game hits a 3 run HR.

I think Gunnar's let his press clippings get to his head. He's been bad for weeks now. I also think his arm is surprising inaccurate at times. 

[O-The-Memories]

That is an absolutely great AB for Mullins.

Didn't Jack Flaherty face Toronto in his first start after a trade last year? I'm hoping for better results from this one though.

Roy is missing out on these sacrifice flies.

Still having redirect issues so delay pn comment.  Gunnar way also cost Elfin more pitches although to Tony’s point he could have made a more competitive pitch.   Btw James McCann is my new favorite O!

Turner's bat has gone so soft this year Eflin might not have been able to yield a HR to him in Walltimore if he tried.

An anecdote why SIGBOT likes its lefty bats in our ballpark so well.
