We're really bad.

[E.J.]

Soriano playing hopscotch in the outfield before making the catch. Another inning of not scoring.

What's Kerry at? about 50 pitches through 2, 5 hits, three homeruns? Go Cobs!!!!!LOL Just comical.

 

What did you expect a no-hitter? It's his first game back. Relax.

 

Well, if he was ready to come back I would expect a little more than that, but I was just talking in generalities of how bad this team is. As usual the Messiah has a high pitchcount early in the game and is getting battered around this is Kerry's MO. He will probably settle down but he always seems to have one or two bad innings early in games.

 

Career ERA of 3.67, ERA+ of 116. Obviously he doesn't always have one or two bad innings a game. It's his first game back. Everybody warned that he would not be perfect, he's shown signs of dominance, but can't be expected to be 100% right now. If he shows no signs of improvement in the coming games then you can start complaining, but this isn't that big of a deal.

 

he wont be 100% because he'll be on the DL again in 3 weeks.

 

Seriously, I'll be shocked if he doesn't leave this game complaining of soreness somewhere.

 

Why are you so bitter? Did you expect to see Wood to dominate a game in his first start back. It's going to take a couple of starts. Some of you guys expected way too much today.

 

I'm not bitter, I'm just ready to get rid of him, just like I was last year. I'm tired of him playing half seasons.

Chopper in front of the plate.

That was all as far as I know...he's just not gotten any kind of clutch hits at all this season.

Hit a high chopper off the plate that went about 3 feet. Catcher grabbed it and threw him out at first.

[Butterscup1679666578]

He did exactly that. Chopped it about a foot in front of the plate.

[Banedon]

Is it trendy to say Fire Baker again? Or is still trendy to say that we're coming out of it? I don't know which crowd to follow.

[goonys evil twin]

Why do you care? Let him have his opinion, if you don't like it, ignore it.

 

If somebody has the opinion that Wood is a near lock (I would be shocked if....) to leave this game with discomfort, than other people have every right to reply.

[E.J.]

Woody's pitches are looking good. He just has to stop throwing fastballs right down the middle of the plate.

[Master Shake]

I see that Charlie Brown is still our hitting coach...

Didn't he hit a PH home run in a big game? I don't really remember...

I say 'college of coaches' again. Spread the hate!

With or without baker this lineup stinks! No power what-so-ever!

[goonys evil twin]

What is the deal with scrub pitchers dominating us?

 

Scrub pitching always beats scrub hitting.

I'm just going to become a vegetable so I don't have to worry about either one.

His one homer came on April 5...not sure how big it could have been.

[Master Shake]

Neffi shouldn't be in baseball. He should be on the PGA tour.

[ToupeeOnFire]

K #6 for Woodrow.

[Big Fergie J]

Way to go Kerry.

 

A very quick inning.

[Scott G. F.]

K #6 for Woodrow.

 

 

Hay great!

 

I'm missing Freds updates. So it's 0-4 Nats then?

I'll be burning a large C out in a field later if you want to join.

[E.J.]

Good inning for Woody. What's his pitch count up to?
