[Tony-OH]

Oy, the Red Sox are doing a bullpen game and Burnes deciding that today will be the day he stinks.

Not sure we can say Burnes is officially in a slump, but these last 3 starts have been unimpressive for our ace

It’s official

Gotta hit.

Damn, I can't believe we're going to lose a bullpen game for the Red Sox w/ Burnes pitching.

I think he likes it well enough, he just not about to get attached in his walk year.  Can't blame him.

As you that attached to your job?

There has been some places I am happier than others.  You could usually tell.  I am not suggesting he should take a discount.

8 baserunners in less than 3 innings tonight off Burnes. So far.

[LookitsPuck]

His cutter just isn’t working

When the question was posted about the record in our next 14 games, everyone kind of assumed Burnes and Eflin would win their starts, giving at least 6 wins in the 14.

But tonight doesn’t look too good.

we need a reliable 3,4,5. And tomorrow is going to be Povich.

What a time to be alive!

Thanks, I didn't have it quite right.

[Just Regular]

Skubal Cy looking good.

Hyde was evasive pregame if it is momentary 6-man rotation but I think it is to line Burnes up for Astros Game 1 Thursday.

Burnes leading off big series at OPACY is what we hope for a bunch of, and for heaven's sakes grounds crew do not screw up the cleat cleaning pad again.

Orioles Bats should still be able to better 4 runs against the pitching the Red Sox have tonight.

[baltfan]

He should throw nothing but that change to lefties. 

[Tony-OH]

Burnes changeup is his best pitch tonight.

[eddie83]

Game isn’t over…..

[Roy Firestone]

Burnes may not make 5 tonight...

[Campmoon]

I can forgive a clunker as Burnes has been solid. Keep it here and get through the game healthy...
