I get so annoyed at how MLB teams act like such fukking pussies with their starting pitchers.

Corbin Burnes gave up just 2 runs and had 90 pitches with a 6-2 lead.
He can't come out for the 7th inning?

It's fukkin July.

Yesterday George Kirby had a 4-0 lead in the 7th inning. He gives up 1 run. Gets taken out the game. 6.2 innings, 93 pitches.
For what?

Just babying everybody out here. I'm fukking sick of it.
Teams are strict with three times through the order.. so, at that point any sign of pressure those guys are coming out. Not many if any at all are going pass 100 pitches. I would let Kirby finish the inning, but burnes is not coming out for the 7th 90 pitches? I’m using the backend of my bullpen.

taillon been an automatic L , it’s more of indictment of the Yankees offense.8 innings 0 runs 1 hit vs this cat :huhldup:
Offense been asscheeks since the 2nd half of last season. Judge literally carried this team then, and everybody and their mother knew this team would be in trouble if Judge left (he didn't) or got hurt for an extended period of time (he is now). Hal and Cash did nothing to address the lineup in the off season and now we're seeing what everybody knew was coming. If it wasn't for the starting pitching and bullpen, this team would be well under .500.

For those of you who aren’t old enough to remember Rickey Henderson in his prime, Elly de la Cruz is a nice reminder.
