So Cease will be done after 5, with 90 pitches, and we get to watch this amazing bullpen try to keep a 1 run lead for 4 innings.

 

What, me worry?

I doubt Cease is done. Still need to cover 3+ innings tho with an emptied pen. Was better when it was 4-1 pre ??

Need runs. Trying to get 4 clean out innings out of this bullpen is asking for a miracle

Ok, BUT who’s plays 3rd and keep his bat in the lineup? 

Burger should play mostly DH and 1B.  He can get a spot start at 3B every now and then.  When Burger or Vaughn is DHing, DHing, Eloy can start in LF with Benitendi as his late inning defensive caddy.

Tough couple days for Luis.

There was just as much reason to question Burger playing 3rd base and I didn't see a lot of that going on or at least not even close to the same amount as Sheets. Burger and Sheets have all the RBI's this game and Burger made the error that led to only 1 of the 3 Baltimore runs being earned so we're about at where we were when the game started. Still too early to pull either one so hopefully they both contribute more offensively as well as the other sleeping members of the offense or else the rest of this game won't be pretty.

Caught looking 3-2 lol

How does Eloy miss a pitch that bad?

Missed a freaking hanger

How do you not expect the change up there?

f*** off goof ball

Ooof Eloy

Eloy is a pile of bad right now, 1-11 with 5 K's since coming back. Of course.

He looks to be way off the plate

Burger is a better hitter than Eloy.

He throws a change up with 2 strikes every batter last 3 innings, not that hard to see a pattern. Wake up Pedro

It’s sad when we know these guys have no plan at the plate and are completely unprepared.

91 pitches he's very close to being done.

Nah, but the fact he hasn’t hit a homer in ST, WBC or MLB this year is pathetic

Be afraid.  Be very afraid…

Just like Moncada was when he initially came back from the toe before he went on the IL with the back problems.

Some of Cease’s pitch selection is bad. Four of five sliders was just dumb.

And it started.....

Should have just started the inning with a reliever.

That's the problem with that guy.  He's so hot and cold all the time.  Watch, he'll get hot for a couple weeks here soon only to land on the DL thereafter.
