Paul Blackburn (RH) P

5-3, 4.19 ERA, 58 SO

Joe Musgrove (RH) P

3-4, 4.97 ERA, 51 SO

[Centerfield]

Musgrove's overall numbers aren't great, but he's been solid since coming back from injury. 8.1 IP, 1 ER. 73 pitches his last time out, so you'd guess he's just about stretched out by now.

[kcmets]

Light him up, musgrove burns well this time of year.



He'll see the fourth inning from the dugout or clubhouse.

[G-Fafif]

Nuñez activated, Brazoban optioned.

[ashie62]

34 games to go



I'm kinda nervous about Blackburn tonight



I'll be beating on my tv with a baseball bat

[kcmets]

Going to catch this in the morning. Dead on my fingers now....

[Frayed Knot]

Nuñez activated, Brazoban optioned.

Even if this wasn't the right move for purely effectiveness reasons, Brazoban would be unavailable for most of the

upcoming week anyway on account of the 156* or so pitches it took him just to protect a seven run lead last night

so you could justify the move on that basis alone.







* OK it was really only 36 but, still, that's a shit-ton just to get through one inning and seven batters

I hope to awake to a seventh-inning stretch Beat On The Brat

tomorrow morning!!

Phillies lost. Atlanta tied in the eighth with the Nats.



Arizona winning big in Boston.

[Edgy MD]

Pads rocking some daring City Connect togs.

These Pads CC unis are really bad. I think even gay people would find them to be too gaudy

I have it as Royals 6, Phillies 2 in the bottom of the 5th.

[Edgy MD]

Wow. Who knew Luís Arraez hit homers?

Apologies. Reading fail by me.

[Gwreck]

Gives KC more time to pile on.

[Edgy MD]

Four straight Mets strikeouts. A lot of looking early.

[Edgy MD]

Well, the party is getting rough early.

[Gwreck]

Blackburn is not good.



Butto to the rotation immediately please.

[Edgy MD]

Four thousand holes in Blackburn's repertoire.

[Gwreck]

This can't be a surprise. Blackburn had 7 straight seasons of sub-100 ERA+. He's a perfect example of a below-average player.

[Centerfield]

Yeah. I know he's had some good starts but I don't see anything about Blackburn that suggests he's going to be any good going forward.

[Gwreck]

They need to put Butto in the rotation. They needed to do it weeks ago, but it's not too late.

[Edgy MD]

Well, he gave himself to the cause.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Goddammit Paul

[Centerfield]

Stanek following Blackburn kinda demonstrates how shitty Stearns was at the deadline.



Shoulda just sold.

[Edgy MD]

We're only losing 6-0 in terms of runs.



In terms of hits, we're behind 12-0.

[Centerfield]

Wow. That was miserable.



An hour plus of literally nothing going right.



I'm out. Hope they get a hit. I fucking hate Musgrove.
