We've already struck out 4 times in 2 innings.

 

[death2redemptions]

And Robbie Ray walks the leadoff hitter....

Almost always leads to runs.

 

[death2redemptions]

Ray almost gave up a 2 run HR...moves Stanton to 2nd base.

 

[death2redemptions]

Ray K Count: 2

 

[death2redemptions]

As always...a run scores...

 

[death2redemptions]

That is what happens when you walk the leadoff batter.

 

[death2redemptions]

First time through the order we've struck out 5 times

 

[death2redemptions]

All of our starters have an ERA above 4.50 this season.

You'd need the best offensive team in baseball to be .500 team with a pitching rotation like that.

Our offense comes in surges, for a few games we may appear to have one of the best offensive teams in baseball but after that surge disappears we are simply a below average offensive team (and that is being generous).

Ray K Count: 3

3 IP 1 ER 1 H 1 BB 3 SO

 

[death2redemptions]

Once again with a 2-0 count a fastball is thrown right down the middle and Goldy doesn't swing...

 

[death2redemptions]

With 2 outs Castillo hits a single & then Peralta walks.

Tomas will strike out as usual

 

[death2redemptions]

Guess what? Tomas strikes out.

 

[death2redemptions]

10 pitch at-bat against Yelich...so many foul balls...

 

[death2redemptions]

But he won the battle with a 96 MPH fastball above the belt

Ray K Count: 4

 

[death2redemptions]

And Ray gives up a 2 out RBI...seems to be a theme with our pitchers.

 

[death2redemptions]

Closing in on 80 pitches through 4 innings...

 

[death2redemptions]

Ray K Count: 5

 

[death2redemptions]

A quick 1-2-3 inning makes it possible for Ray to go out there in the 6th.

Pitch count is right under 90.

 

[death2redemptions]

And this time Goldy grounds into a double play...so bad, so awful.

 

[death2redemptions]

Another game where our starting pitcher fails to complete 6 IP.
