8/10 @ Tampa Bay (Game is on Fox tonight)

[baltfan]

Burnes is rattled.  He also is wearing down yet again.  He has been great for us, but I worry about the playoffs. 

[Say O!]

From no hitter to 4 hits this inning

This came out of nowhere.

take nothing for granted..this is a huge fail by our defense and  Burnes...we could lose this game...

Burnes got tired on his last start around the 5th inning and this game.

I would certainly hope he's not tired after 70 pitches in a climate controlled dome.

The TV guys, at least one of them, aren’t being coy about evaluating the game. Very refreshing. And they are talking about the game instead of miscellaneous pop culture BS. I like this team.

And Urias is sleeping on the couch tonight…

The bad mojo seemed to begin when the announcers talked about a no hitter.

[Gurgi]

I guess Burnes is done?  LOL  cant even get five innings?

 

[O-The-Memories]

Burnes has had a great season, but his last five or six starts haven't been amazing overall. He didn't get much help this inning from the defense, but he also has been leaving pitches in the zone a lot too.

Mostly a weak part of the lineup schooling Burnes this inning. We really need better from him at this point.

Same issues bad defense that leads to a bad inning and multi runs given up.

Burnes inability to hold runners on is a major issue in close games.  

Burnes might be the worst starting pitcher in team history at holding runners on base. Lucky he doesn't let too many runners on most of the time because when runners get on base it's open season on stolen bases.

Stop it here. Then hit.

Well, all of the base runners are on Burnes and would have scored regardless. Ugly inning though

[CynBeth]

They need to take Slater out and put Santander in at right and have O’Hearn as DH.
