Jace Fry warming up.  Should be a nice comeback win against KC's bullpen.

Still a work in progress.

Ricky and Cooper caught sleeping again

At 100 pitches and Fry is barely warming up?! fucking laughable.

Fastball tailing over the plate. Probably time to pull him

How the hell is nobody ready now? Is Renteria in the dugout with his thumb up his ass? 

How many times will this happen until renteria is fired?

Lopez getting squeezed now.

at'll work

Lopez was really bad tonight. He got hammered with hard hit balls in every single inning. Up until that home run I was sitting in awe of how he had managed to luck into a good outing. He probably should have surrendered 4-5 runs prior to this point. A good team would have certainly put his night to rest early on.

He struck out 4 tonight, but my gosh... it felt like 80% of the batters he saw went to a two strike count and Lopez couldn't get a swing and miss. Many resulting in him losing the out entirely or hard contact. Maybe that's all in my head. 

I've been such a big fan of his going back to his time in Charlotte, but it's getting hard to keep the faith. I'm sorry...

He’s already planning the quirky lineup for tomorrow with Alonso locked in at #4

That helps

Remember when Jace Fry was the new hot thing? I do. It was this time last year. Good times, good times.

His changeup was good tonight thankfully. His slider was so bad that Benetti mistook it for a changeup a few times. Lopez owes Garcia a steak dinner.

Ridiculously bad managing

Ricky sucks

That should be it now.. ?

Wow... he's leaving him in..

Don't go to the Ricky Renteria school of managing

Other than the probable Win I would agree.  This wasn't really a terribly impressive outing.  That triple ends it for me.

uh why is reynaldo still in

I’m almost glad that it is readily apparent now how much of his solid performances last year were mostly mirage. 

Why is Reylo still in this game??? He should have come out after the DP.

He is...but why?  He has obviously run out of gas.

This coaching staff is such a joke

How/why is Lopez still in the game? Surreal 

Sorry guys I'm not counting on Lopez going forward
