The thing about this lineup is that they all have the ability to do damage and they have a track record of doing so. That's why every now and again we get 8 or 9 runs. But for some reason, they are more all or nothing this year and have been the nothing way more often.

Cool ...

That'll pretty much do it.

He is throwing nothing but changeups right now.

I hate all of this over shifting.

Clearly it's not working.

WHo am I kidding.  This lead for them is insurmountable.

Goodnight everyone.

game's over.

Pablo just lost control this inning. 

The changeup would probably work better if he was throwing it less than 50% of the time.

Need to pull him now.

He's completely lost the strike zone his inning. 

If Holly can crack the code on Pablo's pitch sequencing, you can bet you bottom dollar a major league team has.

Lopez still doesn’t have a third pitch he can rely on.

Not so smart for Mr. Medical School. Constant problem with him.

As much as I hate to see Don pull Pablo, his pitch selection was costing us the game.

I feel bad for Pablo.... 3 runs is not terrible, but these pitchers have to be perfect because this offense sucks.... Giving up 3 runs (or even 1) should not be Game Over but this offense makes it so...

FO, fix your damn product!

Let's not get crazy here.  It's just 1 bad start.  He's having a great season.  He also had a very good season last year.  He'll be fine.

2 bad starts to be fair, but the 1st one got overshadowed by our offense scoring 14 runs.

Curtis has been great all year but he didn't do Pablo any favors here.  All inherited runners scored.  For Fucks sake!

I am sure he will be but when he struggles, over reliance is an issue. 

Alcantara and Lopez have one win combined.

The lack of wins is on the offense.  That's the only real issue with this team and it's a big issue at that. 

Jesus!!!  Might be too little too late but I'll take it.
