    Baker pulls Bielak 4 runs too late.

    Bielak’s confidence must be shot after this and last game.

    Yes. He should never have been out there on short rest. Sneed may not do better, but at least his arm is expendable.

    Yikes. Short rest or not, Bielak's regressed a ton in just a few starts. Of course, guess you can't hit on them all. So far Javier and Valdez look good in the rotation.

    Bielak sucks. He should be making spot starts for some shitty team like the Angels or Rangers.

    Wouldn't go as far as saying Bielak sucks, but too many walks and too few whiffs for my taste, so he was bound to regress. Can still develop more in time, but he's had a bad last 2 starts. Despite being pulled early in SD I would not have started him with this little rest.

    Yukon Cornelius. Where is Castellanos (I know where he is)? Or who...Biagini? Not exactly stocked with 6th starters and long-men at this point.

    I'm gonna suggest that they score more runs, the sooner the better. Let's turn this game into a complete sh!tshow.

    The rumor I heard is not to give up on him.

    He's just not very good at this point. Bielak doesn't have MLB starter stuff either.

    Oh fuuuuuuuuuck, that's bad luck for Tuck

    He drilled that ball, as did Carlos.

    So NOW they decide to use their gloves?

    I know Toro has to have a strong arm if they tried him out as a catcher, but man, he's just so slow. Bad instincts, and slow reactions. Even when he does get the out he takes just long enough to make the play close when it shouldn't be.

    I’m not impressed with Toro this season. Too bad we really don’t have better option(s) at 3B until Diaz return.
