Tim trying WAY too hard

The ol' 5 run homer

What an idiot. They have 10 walks today what more do they want?

Yeah I'll come back to this game in a bit.

Detwiler with bad control too.

Just walk everyone

Until his next start, if possible. Or just keep him down until the postseason. If the alternative is a performance like this I'd like to give it a shot.

I support sending Cease down for a few days to work on his control. See if he can get one more start in preparation for the playoffs after that.

Woof.

A better team has a few runs today. Luckily the Reds can't hit.

Lorenzen has a good fastball

Dylan has so much trouble executing with 2 strikes

Over!

Was right on the lower corner of the TV zone

That was in a lefty's wheelhouse there.

Edwin Pops Up

The camerawork is absolutely horrible. I thought that Abreu ball was long gone with the way they showed it.

HERE COMES NOMAR

Yeah I don't get it. He was super aggressive earlier this year too but showed good pitch recognition and made good contact when he hit the ball. It's like his pitch recognition skills completely disappeared. I almost wonder if they should send him down for a bit to work on that - it's probably too late now but if he's not hitting I don't think we go anywhere in the post season.

He could literally go up there and not swing and work a 3 ball count every at-bat.

It looks like Robert will never get out of this. I hope something clicks soon.

Robert took the hittable one and swung at one outside.

Should be 3-0, instead it's a K.

They're up 1-0 and Minnesota still looks like horse shit offensively.

I think you're right. He's got the best stuff on our pitching staff. Next year's pitching staff is going to be really fun to see shape up.
