It's his first start with a new team ffs. Give him a break, I'm sure he's nervous.

Yeah, I mean there's a line between being disappointed how he pitching, and calling the trade a bust.

Hopefully Rogers got that out of his system. Yuck.

Easy to say from the comfort of your couch.

I'm in my computer chair thank you very much.

I don't like the couch, when I'm in the living room I'm on my Chaise Lounge.

This ump has a big zone

Is anyone declaring the trade a bust?  (I'm not counting X).

Rogers looking about as I expected. Way to go Mike

[Malike]

You know the ump sucks when they are saying "another close one" on a pitch that isn't even close because he's calling them strikes occasionally.

Mountcastle still has never met an outside breaking pitch that he doesn't like.

Well the ump called the first pitch a strike that was 2 inches off the plate so you have to protect.

What about the fourth pitch of the at bat, that outside slider he didn't swing at?

They are swinging early in the count off Rogers

But the price was right.

The bitterness of low quality long outlasts the sweetness of low price
