If true, hope there are no fake runs where they trick themselves into thinking they will contend.   

See 2010 2012 2016

This "WOOOOOO" shit is so fucking annoying

Can’t wait for the excuses by Keuchel about his awful command. He’s so painful to watch.

We might get swept by the Royals. Lol

This is painful. I'm in physical pain watching this.

What the fuck just happened?

No audio feed from Stone and Jason. Guess they quit. 
 

Fun times.

They're baaaaaack !

Keuchel is a veteran.  He needs to know not to get unraveled by bad defense and just find a way to pitch over it.

Not a fan of the guy but how do you pitch over it?  He's done his job this inning, its the guys behind him who fucked up.  His strikeout rate has been dropping for several years and was already the lowest in the league.  These weak grounders are his bread and butter.

5 walks.........for a dude with no real 'stuff', I don't think that works.

Except you have about five more DHs on your team. And Zack Collins is finally sorta hitting like one in Toronto.

Then trade him because we don’t need a DH’s

He legit has the worst command I’ve ever seen from a “pitch to contact” pitcher

Another effective trip to the mound for Ethan Katz I see

Time to watch the last few episodes of Severance….

Okay I'm on a slight delay.  Just saw the four pitch walk.

I think Burger dropping that was probably best outcome. He wasn't getting Witt at first and if he threw home it would probably go to the backstop given how this team is going.

He had no play at home or 1B.  The ball was to close to the line so if he threw home it would have drilled the runner in the back.  

This looks like a 9U game where the pitcher can’t even reach the plate 

Too late for the bullpen. 

Good cutter there.

He looks furious.  As he should be.

This damn offense needs to answer.  Show some f$%#ing life damnit!!!

He is just as much of a problem out there as the guys behind him.

Really fortunate to get 2-1 strike call...Merrifield the worst player in baseball somehow. One aging veteran we avoided at least.

He has 5 walks in 4 innings. If he is furious, that should also include some self-hate.

I wonder next time we win the 1st two games of a series if he TLR will put his C lineup in.

He has set a tone for this team that has lingered and contributed to the attitude they play with

Greinke will really make them look bad if this offense doesn't wake up soon.

I am not a Keuchel defender.  He is a gas can at this point.  We all know this, and he probably does too.  The damage done that inning wasn't by him, it was by the guys behind him.
