And the 4 runs he allowed in the first were compliments of Alexei. I don't know what you expect out of a 5th starter, but it apparently is an ERA below 1.00. The guy had not started a game in a couple of weeks and actually did pretty well.
I didn't see the game, I'm just looking at the box score. If those runs were compliments of Alexei, then why are all 5 of his runs earned? Wouldn't he be charged with 5 runs, 4 unearned and 1 earned if Alexei was to blame?

The last 5 innings he has pitched, he has not allowed a hit.
Well, in the 2 innings before that, he allowed 5 runs. What's your point?
He's just not very good. He'll eat innings, sure, but he's not that good.

If Leury Garcia gets called up I riot.
That wouldn't make any sense anyway.
They already have Beckham, Sanchez, and Bonifacio to cover the infield, and Shuck to cover the outfield.
Johnson or Thompson would be much more likely to be called up instead of Leury.

Glad for the early start. Just like a dentist appointment, best to get it out of the way rather than waste the whole day dreading the inevitable. I hate this damn team.
Haha. I'd rather get a root canal than watch this team play.

I kind of like Chuck. He's going a good job. I could see him being the back up to Hawk permanently.
I hate his voice for some reason. It's just so annoying to me.

Hahn and Ventura should be fired tonight. But they will be here for years to come.
Ventura should be canned, but Hahn should stay. How was he supposed to know that all his moves would backfire on him? They looked good on paper.

What does this even mean?
I didn't get that either. If anything, Q is a project that well exceeded any of our realistic expectations.

Pitching coach Don Cooper will miss Fri-Sat games to attend a family graduation. Bobby Thigpen temporarily moves from 'pen to dugout.
It's not like Coop does anything anyway.
