Here's the link to search for baseball game streams in case
anyone is looking for them.
Tonight's game is on the ESPN family of networks and tomorrow's
is on MLB Network.

Um, WTF is going on?
Earth to Theo: Get off your @$$ and fix the bullpen! While
you're at it, you need another starter (or two).
Daniel Vogelbach for Rich Hill (Oakland), STAT!
Ian Happ for Drew Pomeranz and Carlos Villanueva (San Diego)
Do something, FFS!

When we can't beat the Reds & Pirates I might have to start to
worry. We've got enough expendable talent, they need to get
what they need to go all the way. They're too close to let this
slip away. While we're at it, could somebody sit Jake down with
films from last season & early this season & tweak something.

I think part of the "problem" is that hitters are taking pitches
against Jake because they know they can't hit his stuff when
it's near the corners. Also, MLB umpires suck.
Last year, and the year before, Jake was getting a ton of swings
and misses on those pitches because they looked like strikes for
so long and then would move off the plate. Now, guys are taking
them and they're either being called balls because they're just
off the plate or they're called balls because the ump is missing
the call (again, umps suck).
That results in Jake being behind, more walks, deep counts,
longer innings, more hits, higher pitch counts, shorter outings,
more runs and Jake struggling with his confidence.
Also, with the bullpen being complete and utter horseshit, Joe
sticks with him longer because a struggling Jake is better than
the garbage he has out in the 'pen. That's what happened last
night (I presume, I didn't watch).
Jake had gone six innings, giving up three runs, which isn't
great. The team got the lead in the top of the seventh, so the
bullpen should be able to shut down the Pirates from there.
Instead, Jake went back out there and imploded, then the bullpen
stunk it up again, leaving the game out of reach.
They are three pitchers, maybe four, short of being a monster
team. Plus, they really need someone that can fill in for
Dexter Fowler when he needs time off. This whole downward
spiral started when he hurt his hamstring.
Get to work, Theo. Prospects are NOT made of gold.

I know we all feel the freaking umps suck........they do! I
just feel like there should be some discipline action or
something. For those games that have the batter's box graphic
thingybob......it can be proven that the umps suck. GRRRRR
GRRRR GRRRR!

The bullpen is still horseshit.

I was disappointed last night to hear Dexter won't be back by
the break. I've been saying it will be better when he gets
back. I know one guy shouldn't make that much difference, but
it seems like they just play better & things go better with
Dexter there. I was so freaking happy when they decided to
bring him back this year. I volunteer to care for his
hamstrings personally, btw. :-p
