       I like to think all the big flys he gave up in that inning were telltale signs. Sutton off the fence, Cutch over the fench, Casey almost to the fence. Was ugly.

    His ERA doesn’t tell the story. According to ESPN’s Baseball Today podcast, Qualls had been among the worst in baseball at allowing inherited baserunners to score.

    As a pitcher, you know you have problems when the 29th ranked offense lights you up for three runs in 1/3 innings pitched.

      Probably because there isn’t anybody in the organization better… which is really sad.

      Hopefully DeFratus comes back healthy soon, he looked good in September last year.
