Gausman is decent, but he's not David Price. Anyone with an ERA over 4 should not intimidate or shut us down completely.

Sometimes pitchers with good stuff have good nights.

I gotta give Choo his due, the guy sucked balls the first half of the season, but in the second half he's been amazing.

For fuck's sake, can we stop running into outs?

Pray that carries over into next season.

What is the deal with easy to see, well outside the zone balls, being called strikes?

Gawd Almighty, this gets old.

An ERA over 4 doesn't always indicate a lack of talent. Sometimes, as is the case with Gausman, it just indicates a young pitcher who is inconsistent. Gausman can absolutely be a shut-down pitcher when he's on his game. His talent is unquestionable. Another good example is Carlos Rodon- talented pitcher, bad ERA.

I have nothing left to say about it. I don't think it's gonna change till they do what's right and let pitch tracker call the plate.

Unless the union does something in the way of a learned behavior and just ignores it then this is the way it will be.

Lol at the thought of them doing something about it. Unions breed complacency and mediocrity. The umpires union is no different.

You've got a lead Cole. Shut them down the rest of the way.

He is one of the main reasons this team is in the playoff race. He does everything a leadoff hitter should and everything Leonys Martin never did.

I was thinking the same thing.

Add on some more runs and let's get it over early.
