Again, Knebel gets himself into some trouble and then pitches out of the inning without a run scoring. While I'd prefer a clean inning, results do matter. Scoreless inning desired, and scoreless inning delivered.

Ball in dirt (89.9 mph slider)

I was seriously ready to post about how it's still not worth getting worked up when it's a sixth run lead and then...

Ruben was also talking about how well Familia has pitched (statistically and presumably meaninglessly) of late.

Sorry, I have seen enough. Maybe there is a team looking for a relief pitcher who might benefit from a change of team.

Tying run now coming up.

Yes, Familia can be this bad.

Seriously, Familia has to be gone by the end of this week.

Yep, Familia created a save situation. Now the question is did he create a loss also.

It might be time to cut bait on him. Either a trip to AAA (which he will decline) or a sudden trip to the IL
