So that's two openers, and both give up three runs. Servais doing things "just because other teams do it" without realizing he doesn't have the personnel for it. And of course Millone comes in and pitches well. Speaking of which, who would have ever seen that coming, Tommy Whiplash Millone being our "ace".

You know what, Marisnick is out there making way too many diving catches against just one team and he needs to take a dirt bath.

And why in the world does Haniger continue to take cookies down the middle for strike one when he leads the majors in strikeouts?

Wouldn''t one think the ideal opener would be Elias? Who has actually started before?

So Haniger swung at one a foot inside close to his ear, and to end the AB, he went after a Zunino special a foot outside and nearly on the ground... no wonder he is struggling at the plate.

Not the way he's been pitching. I just don't get it. The one starting pitcher we've got who's been doing consistently well and Servais decides to put him in a three-run hole.

Sorry if I'm revving up the TrollerCoaster, fellas LOL.

It's not trolling to be critical of Servais.

There is no defending him. It took him 40% of the season to figure out that Santana in left and Smith in center wasn't a good idea.

Odd that "Disaster" would be in the title of the game thread. I think given the circumstances we're pretty much playing with house money today.

That's pretty bad when it took us less than 4.0 %.

This morning they played audio from last week of Jim Moore suggesting the move of Santana to RF. You know if you are slower than Jim Moore you make rocks looks smart.

Where is Somebody's son to tell us that we just need to hire Jamie Moyer to teach Felix to pitch like Verlander.
