Zimmerman better have his shit together tonight. That was a weak first for our hitters vs this scrub.
 
Guy with era over 8 with 5 k's already through two, way too much chasing by the tigers, this is one of those games they need to just take two he's not going to give them anything to hit, this is the type of pitcher that gives them fits, terrible scrub throwing tons of breaking balls out of the zone

So we get a little hope and THIS is what our bats decide to do??? What in the actual fuck???????? This guy just tied his career high for K's in the 2nd inning.

Typical, this is what the offense has been doing all year, way over agreesive trying to force what isn't there with these effectively shitty guys. These scrubs that throw lots of breaking balls out of the zone...still time to adjust form this one, let's hope soon!
