Looking at it on paper, a home stand against a bad Detroit team, and an even worse Tampa Bay team, looked like a way to build on the 3-2 road trip start. Shows what I know, I guess.

Only watching via Gamecast..is Carson getting squeezed? 5 BBs in 3.2 IP is no bueno.

I knew this team would be pretty rough this year, but knowing that sure doesn't make it any easier to watch.

Being bad because of talent level is one thing... Being bad because of a complete lack of fundamentals, well...

Walks + Bad Defense...a recipe for a deficit.

That was embarrassing.

Lord...

I mean...you HAVE to know that slider is coming, Avi, right?

That lazy toss to first almost cost us another run. Nice play by Abreu and Omar.

Love that play by Smith, I think he got in.

Nicky! Nice.

TB plays stupid baseball, that was dumb, but thanks.

It's ok, guys. Our bullpen is in the game now, for the next 4+ innings!

Bats on a 1.5 game hiatus. "Wait until it warms up" Cold weather doesn't seem to bother the 1-8 team from Florida...

Omar taking a beating behind the plate, in his starts.

Keystone Kops. Seriously, this TB team is 1-8 and Gonzalez is at 50 pitches almost, with 4 outs.

Juan Minaya...He Gawn!! (To Charlotte)

Nice AB by Moncada, and nice day overall.

It takes talent, to come into a game, walk 4 guys, and get no one out, while only throwing 7 strikes out of 23 pitches. Bravo!

Love our young guys in the field, and Giolito/Lopez/Fulmer, but man, the rest of this bullpen fodder is garbage.

I LOVE our bullpen!

Oops, I misspoke. Actually... 20 Runs (19 ER) in 20 innings for the bullpen. Amazing...

People are acting like before this season, Moncada was a consistent, contact hitter. Dude's K rate is absolutely sickening, at ALL levels of professional baseball so far.

Yep, about what I expected.... Yoan 0 for 6, 4 K's.

Yoan has no chance against that slider.
