I had no idea Dana Eveland was still in baseball much less on a major league roster.

[lcbj68c]

Come on Scooter...swing the freakin bat!

[pacopete4]

Estrada just can't continue at this pace. Insane to keep rolling him out there giving up the home runs.

[pacopete4]

Also time to put a Gomez back at the lead off. No reason scooter needs to be up there getting the extra ABs.

[lcbj68c]

This is getting ridiculous.

 

Any idea what the MLB record is for HR allowed per 9 over a season (minimum 50IP, perhaps). This schmuck must be on pace to shatter it.

[homer]

Last year, Marco Estrada had a HR-rate of 1.82 HR/9 in 1st half (5.32 ERA) and 0.77 HR/9 (2.15 ERA) in 2nd half (per JP Breen on Twitter).

[lcbj68c]

Not really concerned with 2013. That World Championship has already been awarded.

Get it that you don't like what the guy does on the mound. Is it necessary to repeatedly refer to him as a schmuck?

[DocLuna7]

Let's get something going here. I hate losing against the Mets.

He's shown the ability to figure it out before.

Yeah, schmuck was about as mild as I could get and still comply with the posting rules.

Yeah, probably so.

[adambr2]

I'm willing to bet that sac bunts lead all plays in baseball in "camera pans to the dugout for the high 5's".

[AZBrewCrew]

Soooo...when does Nelson's flight to Milwaukee leave?

[DocLuna7]

His tendency to give up the long ball is killing us this game.

[saget]

So that was pretty much a guarantee he was going to hit a HR there. It felt inevitable.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Jimmy Nelson be all like "yes!"

[Gormans sideburns]

Both HR balls were right down the middle. Might as well put it on a tee!

[yfinn6]

It's almost like Estrada is trying to pitch his way off the team. Walks the bases loaded and gives up a HR to a bum. Classic.

[wisniewski]

That ump squeezed Estrada. His strike zone made less than zero sense. Pure garbage.

 

Now please, someone who actually isn't even watching the game but following pitches on some internet nonsense tell me that wasn't the case.

[adambr2]

Please replace this bum in the rotation with Nelson before he shatters HR allowed records.

[olliegjw]

The home run was not the problem. The three straight walks before the grand slam were.

Fox Trax had almost all of the pitches barely outside, but outside. He consistently didn't call just off the corner but called the one that barely was on the corner. I have no problem with it and no excuses for Estrada. He did it to himself.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Mr. Nelson, I believe your table is ready
