    Holy **** their is zero movement on his pitches in the zone. Insanely hittable.

    Nasty lefty on the mound though, so I can understand it

    Can we all agree, Burrows sucks.

    I can't wait to get burrows out of the rotation, send him down to AAA.

    Maybe he'll put it together but he's not it.

    Still trying to figure out what Brown and co. saw in Burrrows that he decided to trade our top two prospects.

    Burrows throws some of the most hittable pitches I've ever seen outside of batting practice

    Is it possible Burrows is the odd man out when Hunter comes back? He’s been by far the worst of the current rotation.

    What an odd season, even our bench players (Allen, she make) get hurt

    He doesn't have the stuff to survive in the zone. Especially vs lefthanded hitters.

    It’s only recently that I learned they were saying Groos and not Bruce.

    This is the trade that really makes me doubt Brown.

    He needs to develop another weapon vs lefties. Maybe a cutter?

    I'm thinking AAA is the perfect place to learn/develop it.

    Sleepy afternoon Sunday game. Looks like they're just going through the motions. Wouldn't be surprised if we have a terrible record in day games.

    Brito is the one that might come back to bite you, but that's a few years away I'd guess
