Can we talk about how shitty Mike Leake is?

Odor with a three run HR. This game is starting to smell already.

How can Servais be OK with Leake pitching like this?

How is this fine?

This is what $15.5 million gets you? A pitcher who doesn't want to compete? Who is just willing to take a beating like it's normal?

How is Servais not out there challenging him to wake the fuck up after he gave up back-to-back hits on back-to-back pitches to start the game?

Agreed - I saw that Cano got benched today for - you'll never guess - not running out two grounders this weekend - 1 of which he clearly didn't know how many outs there were.

Meat of the order is smelling rotten so far; our 3-4-5 is 0-6 with 5 k's against Minor so far.This could get uglier.

Looks like I may have been overshooting the talent in our rotation when I said we had two 2's, one #4 and two #6's.

Turns out we probably have two #2's and the rest are not MLB caliber SP's at all.

Leake and Leblanc were cute success stories while they worked, but it was never going to be a very far fall, we all knew that.
