8/8 vs Toronto

[HowAboutThat]

Well, this is terrible. I’ve always liked Kremer, but I’ve never had any illusions about his elite status.

If Mike Elias really has this much trouble improving his pitching staff through trades, it kind of indicates that his strategy of not drafting pitching is bad.

One thing I really hate about Ben McDonald, by the way, is his tendency to almost Word for Word Repeat what the other guy has just said.

What a dumpster fire this pitching staff is besides Burnes and Efflin. Kremer not the answer 

[LGOrioles]

He is just not a good pitcher and hasn’t been pretty much the whole year. It’s painful watching him pitch. 

[Hallas]

That seems sub-optimal.

 

I don't agree with going back to the splitter there.  He was on top of one the pitch before.  He should have tried his heater up, or a cutter/sweeper away.

Go out and talk to him. 

[LookitsPuck]

Over 20 pitches, one out and a bajillion baserunners 

[Billy F-Face3]

Alejandro Kirk doesn't look like he'd be that good of a player but he is. It doesn't matter where the pitch is, he can hit it.  That hit was from a pitch beneath the strike zone.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Just imploding. 

[allquixotic]

So annoying. Every ball they hit has eyes on it and goes right where we aren't. Every one of our batted balls is a piss missile right at someone.

That seems overdue.

Great just great .. this team is so mediocre last weeks .. pitching and defense and mental errors 

[Roll Tide]

Great

[ShoelesJoe]

Can we just leave Kremer in Canada after the game? Or would the authorities take that as an act of war?

[HowAboutThat]

Adley is a very fine catcher, can anybody explain to me his logic in repeatedly calling for the same pitch? Especially after it was just blasted foul?

His .666 OPS says otherwise. But he does always seem To hit us.
