Ryan is a decent pitcher, a good #4 and capable of fitting in as a #3 pitcher. Joe has trouble with teams that lay off the high stuff and he gets whacked on pitches down in the zone. However, if he harnesses his stuff and controls where the ball goes he can be very effective.

And that's likely still a work in progress. 

[Vanimal46]

Buxton would have made that catch. 

[USAFChief]

Ringing double on an 0-2 count. 

Embarrassing

Came out of the gate strong, the league has caught up as there is more tape on him 

[Battle ur tail off]

Ryan running out of gas for the season. I hope he can pull out of it soon. This has to be the most innings pitched he has had.
Throwing grapefruits up there tonight this game is basically over/ 

[RpR]

I hope Pagan comes out of the pen; he will probably throw his odd great game with zero rund back-up.

For sure. 

I like Ryan but I had him behind Ober to start the year, Proves what I know. At least Ryan has avoided injuries for the most part.

The good news is that everyone is available to pitch 

The bad news is that everyone is available to pitch

Time to get the "Pagan Sacrifice" warmed up and into this game with the instruction:

Emilio-------This is your game for the next 50 pitches.  Go get em!

[cHawk]

I need to go take my dog outside.

Yeah, I'd try to shield the poor thing from watching this too.

It is not. He pitched 140 innings last year. He’s only at 90 innings this year. He’s just not a TOR arm when many people here pranced around claiming he was after the Cruz trade.

Sounds more like a Fox News headline.

And someone let another run score...

[Aggies7]

I hope I’m wrong but this has the makings of a game where the offense just packs it in for the evening

Came out of Sundays game with a cramp, haven't heard anything but he's not on the IL.

Or just completely overmatched.  Maybe even both.

[USAFChief]

Mookie Betts is just about who I was hoping Byron Buxton would be.

[RpR]

Way to go Ryan let him score; announcers making every excuse they can think of.
