Thanks Teheran. Just keeps giving up the long ball.

Had about enough of JT giving up bombs.

He is throwing lollipops. This is a disgrace.

And we are all of a sudden giving up hits to garbage like Espinosa. This year is a rebuilding year, but this is making me pretty mad.

At least thought our "ace" would pitch somewhat better than this.

That was a bad route by Maybin though.

Well, as Minor so gracefully showed us all, 1 1/2 years of great pitching doesn't mean much in this league.
Julio has the stuff, but this is kind of crazy. He's been struggling way longer than I expected.

Time to get Cahill up.

Jesus Julio. This is embarrassing. 1-2...

You'd think he'd work to improve that horrid 4.41 ERA.

It's OVER 5,000!
The Nats are playing with a lot of confidence against us now, but before we blew that 8-run lead they didn't. We were in their head but not anymore.
It's pretty obvious they have our number right now and for the foreseeable future.

Well, that wouldn't be an issue if we didn't lose 8-run leads. That's incredibly hard to do for professionals.
The way he's pitching today, that number's going to increase--a lot.

It's frustrating because I personally don't understand it. IF he's not hurt or straining himself, what is it? His location is spotty. One inning it's great, the next is absolutely abysmal.
I think a lot of it is mental toughness. Some pitchers have a "bulldog mentality" on the mound in which they concede nothing because they're not going to allow you to beat them. Teheran OTOH lets adversity get to him and he melts. Until he gets a lot tougher, he'll never be much more than a second tier pitcher.

The bat licker Jose Constanza has signed with the Reds on a minor league deal. JFYI.
