Why is Bummer still pitching?!

Showcasing him for a trade along with Lynn next week

So many little choppers

Avi looks a lot different than I remember. Or do I just have a bad memory. His face looks different - maybe less soft - can’t put my finger on it. 

He lost a lot of weight.

The new bullpen arm we trade for. Like I said previously, trade for 2 bullpen arms and those two, Liam, Kopech, and maybe Crochet if he is allowed to ramp up the fastball. Everyone else can get lost in AAA until they figure themselves out. 

I'm not sticking up for bummer.  Saying there is worse then him unfortunately.  We all know it's bad.

The combo of Bummer and Collins makes throwing a strike seem impossible

This asshat can't avoid bats if he isn't throwing balls.   Strike people out you FUCK! ?

Bummer always has that happen to him…it’s uncanny.

Can’t afford to give up any more.  Might not score all series.

That is a strike

Bummer's velocity down quite a bit. Is he even healthy right now?

Yep. I'd be surprised if we scored on any of their starters. The good and bad always need to be put into perspective. 

Bummer and Heuer are so goddamn frustrating. They both have amazing stuff and just either have bad luck or can't throw strikes. 

Relief pitcher that can’t do the job

Hallelujah 

Great, proving Burr can’t handle the 8th yet again…

Not consistently throwing strikes leads to bad luck hurting you.

Ahem, they are the Guardians of Traffic!

If I didn't know any better, I'd say La Russa was deploying relievers in a manner to show that we need help soon.

Nothing close is a strike with Collins catching. 

 

Burr has gotten screwed so often on strike calls. It's amazing. 

Terrible zone tonight 

Wtf is with this zone all of a sudden!?

Burr's Cinderella slipper fell off like 4-5 outings ago.

Yes he sucks.  It can't always be his fault either.  This ump blows tonight!

It's not a coincidence that we all have an issue with the strike zone every game Collins is behind the plate.
