Looks like Williams needs one of those magical off seasons NH was talking about to turn him into a competitive pitcher.

Just tuned in and they are already down four runs?

I have a feeling that Uncle Ray is going to be the sacrificial lamb for this season.

ETA Five minutes later and it is 7-0.

Make that 7 runs. 10 batters = 7 runs.

I try to stay optimistic, but my, that was a quick game. What a discouraging run this has been.

Trevor Williams will be battling for the title of the Pirate’s “ace” next season. I like his chances. The bum they have on the mound tonight needs to be up dating his resume.

But hey, Neil says that they can fix the staff with a full baseball off-season. (Whatever that means. It's not like they are throwing on short rest during the World Series.)

NH and Hurdle value rest above all else. They're too smart to make a team play in the post season.

pretty amazing that Clint replaced Williams. He likes his starters to go five innings.

Is this what is called a laugher yet?

Huntington is an embarrassment. Listening to him on his show continue to lie and insult fans week after week is getting real tiresome. The bottom line here is after this loss tonight this team is now 7-28 in their last 35 games and a month in a half of baseball. Both Clint and Neal and anybody else for that matter I’m this organization deserve to keep their jobs. What is going on here this last month in a half with this team is just a complete and total disgrace. The excuses the Constant BS by this GM and manager are getting really really old and harder to defend.
