BB9!!! Yaz still out. LaStella sits. Longo still on IL.

But, we're getting healthy. If we can get enough SP, we can do this thing.

Snake those desert dwellers

6-3 good guys

Well that was a turd of a top of the inning. 6 pitches 3 flyouts.

No bueno. Hopefully Wood won't shit the mound.

 

[tzill]

another day, another moundshit.

I'm seriously doubting that we have enough SP to win the division.

Definitely not working the count here early.

Sure would have been nice to get Scherzer but maybe not at the price he went for.

Not easy competing with the Evil Empire team which is now the Dodgers

 

[jeep99tj]

Finally an out. Now for the double play

 

[tzill]

Yup; this one's over.

Phuk you Wood.

While I really love what FZ has done for this team i still wonder what Kapler is thinking of with some of his in game decisions. In the first 3 innings Wood gives up 7 hits and three walks. 4 runs .. that's 10 base runners in 3 innings. Kapler let's him start the 4th. Does he think he's going to find himself. Did he give up on this game. Just hope he doesn't follow this approach when and if we start the playoffs.

This falls into the “one of 60” category. Nothing to get bent out of shape over.

Cant blow out the bully every time a SP mound-shats. You gotta let them work through it.

As bad as Wood has looked today, him giving up ONLY 4 runs is actually kinda encouraging.

This individual game...I agree

The trend of the SP since the ASB? I do NOT agree.

It's the #weaklink and I don't know if we have enough to win the division.

Especially at the rate the SP have been defecating lately.

Jackson did his best to keep his roster spot that inning.

won't be enough once Mornota completes his rehab.

We don't.

Arms are getting very tired.

Coming out of Az with a split feels like we blew an opportunity

He didn't give up any more runs. Not gonna win games when you only get 4 hits. Obviously not great pitching but 4 runs isn't some disaster. Lotta seeing eye grounders too.

Only 1 game though, 3 of 4 is the expectation
