At least we got back into it. Sure left a lot of men on base again. Bring on tomorrow.

Maybe Mr. Davis should have waited a bit longer before coming back. He hasn't looked good yet and today, in fact, appeared to be tossing batting practice. He stunk!

He gave up one earned run in six innings in his previous start.

Did you see his last start against the Brewers? Davis will give us games like this once in awhile.

Between Davis and Scherzer, one of them had to pitch out of the bullpen irregularly and one into the regular rotation.

Which is better for the team? I said it when Davis returned and I say it now.

It would have been far better for the rookie to stay in the rotation and Davis to be long relief.

Better for the team. Better for Scherzer's development. And better for Davis at this point of his career.

Daron Sutton calls Melvin "The Mad Scientist" for a reason. He made an illogical decision.

I am tired of Daron calling Melvin "The Mad Scientist" and asking for more signs. I am also sick of Grace saying "Car." It gets old after awhile.

One bad inning and a guy isn't starter-quality anymore. The knee jerk reactions have reached a new level.

Why don't you look at the big picture?

I posted when Davis returned that he is better equipped to cope with the irregular long relief role than the rookie Scherzer.

That's hardly a knee-jerk reaction to one bad inning.

I like Davis and admire what he has come through. But Scherzer's role as a pitcher doesn't deserve any less consideration than Davis'.

Too many young players on this team are under-performing. I hope Scherzer doesn't become another one.

Home Run taken away, Mark given a double. Either way, Mark is starting the catch fire.

Mientkiewicz is Bush League and is lucky that Randy does not throw 100 MPH anymore.

Did you actually see it? Just curious how close it was.
A Pittsburgh fan caught the ball over the fence, but at chest level. The momentum of the ball carried his glove down...You can be the judge.

I loved seeing some fire out of Randy, but not this...how can a HOF veteran let something like that effect his game so much? ugh

It's all good...Randy pitches out of a bases loaded, no outs situation. We need to get him some runs.

LOL - Reynolds with another HR.

He should be 4-4 with 4 home runs in his last 4 at bats.

Well Randy doesn't deserve a win today, but maybe the team can rally and get him the win that he deserved the last few starts. :) They probably won't though...they need to start stealing some bases!
