Rickie cannot possibly be starting any more games in this series. Not after this nightmare. Thank god for 3TO, and hopefully the bullpen can throw up a few zeros and they can pull off a circus act.
Sometimes I'm floored that a team can look like this and be considered a legitimate playoff contender. I know every team has their bad days, but cripes.
I don't think I've EVER seen a starting pitcher get away with so many hanging breaking balls not only at the belt but above the belt. This is absolutely ridiculous.
You point to any pitching matchup on this 162 game schedule and you won't find a game more overwhelmingly in our favor. So here we are down 4-1 in the 7th.
I hate it when drunken fairweathers boo a pitcher off the mound...especially considering how good he's been compared to what's expected of him. He just had a crappy game, big deal. No need to beat the guy up about it.
