Jake Gyllenhaal is a such a bitch. He throws the ceremonial first pitch from in front of the mound and skips it off the ground with 35k watching. The dude next to him with prosthetic legs threw a perfect strike.

Fuck Koji, when our rotation is good someone has to fuck it up. This team could be so good, but they're infuriating sometimes. Gotta get back on the winning way tomorrow.

Should not have to bring Kimbrel in early to put out a shit storm. When the hell does Smith heal up?

The problem is that you can't depend on a pitcher who's had 8 innings pitched (or whatever it is) with a 0.00 ERA to continue being lights out.

I blame this game completely on John Farrell. He made some very idiotic moves, one of them being putting Koji in in the 8th inning. I knew as soon as he got in the game, he would get hit because of his so far perfect ERA. I just didn't think he'd get hit that hard.

The second dumbest move is sitting Ortiz. Why the hell are we sitting Ortiz? This is like the 3rd game he's sat on the bench when all he does is hit for us. Stupid to have him sitting on the bench, even if there are left handers. A completely incompetent move.

Koji is the 8th inning guy. Not sure why you wouldn't use him in the 8th if rested. Completely agree on Ortiz though. Of all days too. "This is our fucking city" day and they sit him.

I think you have to use Koji, I agree. My point is, though, that he wasn't going to have a 0.00 ERA forever. Farrell should at least know that and anticipate that, so as to not overuse him. Same with Tazawa.

Farrell could manage the bullpen A LOT better.

I was watching the game and had the same feeling: "They're gonna get him."

Jumbo got lit up in the 8th and we dropped game 1 to Rox. The bullpen is killing us.

If there's one pitcher I can't stand that will absolutely drive me ballistic, it's Mr. Cy Young Joe Kelley.

...and he's coming off the mound in the 1st with some sort of injury.

A blessing in disguise. Hate to say it, but it's true. Send him back to AAA and keep him there. Guy throws 50 pitches an inning.

I'd rather have a blatantly bad Joe Blanton throw meat balls than watch this Kelly kid throw balls all outside of the strike zone.

Wow, we load the bases with no outs and still can't score a run. I'm done. These guys suck.

Where is everyone? I'm so alone. This forum is dead.

Robbie Ross Jr. is warming up, which means we'll be losing this game in no time. I don't blame him though, I blame this shit offense.

I'm watching the Reds local and Red Sox on my tablet. Red Sox game is boring as shit. Reds actually have a lead. Stephenson is tossing 3-hit, 1 run ball right now.
