C'mon, Rocco, the gig's up. Berrios isn't feeling it anymore, get a long reliever ready. Well, there we go.

Berrios needs a toughness guru.

Baldelli should have pulled him 3 batters ago. WTF. Just leave him out there to get crushed. I don't get it. 

It's 15 to 4, ffs.

 

Every single manager in the history of baseball tries to get Berrios through five. 

 

 

[stringer bell]

Tough crowd all of a sudden. I'm sure Berríos will not be happy with his performance tonight.

[jimbo92107]

I mean, it's not the worst thing that could happen. Baldelli gave Berrios a chance to work his way through the inning, qualify for the win. Berrios needs to learn to reset his mind, get back to throwing competitive pitches. A 15-0 game is strange territory for the young pitcher. It threw him off his game.

Robo-ump, o Robo-ump, where art thou?

 

“Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast.”

 

At least that's what I think I heard Astudillo wheeze as he ran the bases last night.

Or maybe he just hasn't had his good stuff for a couple games.

Not pitching, not fielding. This is a bad sign.

[stringer bell]

Great arm, so-so mobility, not soft hands.

[jimbo92107]

"Daddy, is that why you taught me to catch with both hands?"

[ScooterDance]

I just want to effing see Arraez hit before I go to bed.

[drock2190]

I must have missed the uniform switch at the bottom of the inning

[Aggies7]

2 hours, 20 minutes and not out of the 5th

[MNT1996]

Time to shop for an Ace. I don't trust Berrios one bit if we make it to the post season

[USAFChief]

 

Not pitching, not fielding. This is a bad sign.

And they haven't hit a HR in like a half hour now, either.

 

Things are pretty bad.

[ScooterDance]

We should trade Duffey to Houston so he can set MLB records by unlocking that wicked curve.

[operation mindcrime]

Sano's chain got in the way!

[OTPS300]

I wonder if sitting in the dugout for so long this game took it toll on Berrios?

A lot of negative posts for a 15-4 game.

You can say that again. 

[ChrisKnutson]

Honestly, who cares about getting the win, Baldelli should’ve pulled Berrios when he first had 2 runners on base. Why waste mileage on your “ace” in a pointless game when you got junk arms like Duffey and Adams in the bullpen?

For Pressly and Springer!!!

I love the offense, but it's concerning to see our "Ace" not get through 5 with a 15 run lead...

[USAFChief]

Yes, but it's just one game. 

 

What's their record, smart guy?  HMMMMM?????

[Don Walcott]

Buxton had a good at bat there . . . leading off . . . .

[ScooterDance]

8 pitches to buxton. Broken catchers glove.

 

I’m so tired.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

A lot of negative posts for a 15-4 game.

Is the thread getting shorter?

 

Winter is coming...

Could be, and here's hoping he keeps having to cope with double digit run support so we can find out for sure.
