This. Cease is so damn frustrating at times. You see the stuff, he just cannot control it consistently 

Looks like he faded back to last year’s mechanics

He's so much more efforty.  He was free and easy last year.  He's chasing the velo at the expense of command.

Cease: 4.1 IP, 1H, 1ER, 6 BB, 5 K, HR, 45 of 93 pitches for strikes.

TA to the wall!

Timmy!! Good start to the inning

That’s the thing though. His next start he will go 6-7 innings and strike out 7 and look amazing. He needs to find a way to throw less pitches regardless 

Oh for a consistent zone

Cease and Lopez need a different approach to pitching the current pitching coach cannot offer them.

Giolito had to get fixed outside the organization. The same may be true of them. 

 I hope they don't screw with Dunning. His mechanics are fine.

But I've beating the drum of a perspective change for Lopez and Cease for over a year now.

Outside of his extraordinary duties for Reinsdorf, Cooper is useless.

Yoan keeps getting pitches he would have murdered last year, but he has no base to drive it

What was that timmy

Yup last year that ball is in the seats

What the fuck

WTF

Geeeez

Come on TA

Your leader can't be letting stuff like that happen

Embarrassing 

TA asleep there but pretty good move by Singer to be fair

Yeah he’s gotten 6 or 7 meatballs since the beginning of the Pirates series that he could have easily put in the seats and hasnt

That promising looking inning went to shit

Not very smart Tim.

It’s amazing how good Tim Anderson is considering how often he seems to be daydreaming

Tim sleeping 

Pretty crazy KC only has 1 hit yet had a base runner almost every inning

Would like to see Detwiler here for a couple innings of work.
