Maybe Trevor Bauer isn't the only choke artist pitcher? 

At the end of the day, What we know is that Burnes has been awful for six starts. that's not a bad start or two, that's 6!! Including multiple times where his team fought back for him only for him to choke it right back up. 

This is why you need to be able to develop your own starting pitching. I'd rather find hitters vs send away good players for a year of a starting pitcher who chokes in August during a pennant run.

He gave up 3 runs in 6 against Tampa and 2 runs in 6.2 against Toronto.  Not great hitting teams this year I know but still not exactly 6 bad starts in a row.  Not making excuses for him, but I'm withholding judgment until he finishes the season.  But as of now I agree he does not deserve even a $150 million contract until he shows he deserves one.

Trash defense continues. Absolute trash

[Chavez Ravine]

Lordy.

[Just Regular]

Burnes choke made Gunnar choke?

[Aristotelian]

Jesus guys, this is not playoff baseball. Make a damn play.

[Wavetrapper]

This is one bad bad baseball team 

[Tony-OH]

Hell, even Palmer is like Hunter now. Nobody is willing to just call it like it is. 

 

[O's84]

This team just can't get out of their own way.  They just can't, they trip over themselves time and time again.  

[TopGunnar]

I’m going to be honest with y’all. Gunnar Henderson is straight up bad at shortstop. I know I know, seems like an exaggeration. No it’s not. He is not good at shortstop 

[EddeeEddee]

Even if Burnes starts pitching like an ace in September I'm not sure why he'd want to come back the way our defense is playing.

[GoldGlove21]

I mean... the defense cost him there. They also cost him in the big inning. People talk about hitting issues and pitching, but the defense has been the difference between us being the best team in baseball and where we are now.

F this garbage.  It’s late.  Night y’all. 

[MDK02]

It’s early in his career but Gunnar seems to crumble in big moments. He’s just trying too hard instead of just relaxing. 

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

There's no excuse for sloppy defense.  This team has taken a step back this year when it comes to fielding.

[Pat Kelly]

Pitcher sets the tone.  Burns effect is not good for the team.  Gunnar continues to play tight.
