Johnny didn't deserve to get six scoreless innings pitching like that the last two innings with a 4 run lead!

To give up 3 walks in the 5th and 6th with a 4 run lead is just bad, bad, even if he got away with it and didn't give up any runs.

What makes great pitchers great is how they get dialed in when there are runners on base. He either lost focus, was a little 'rusty' due to the extra time off, or the blister was bothering him a little bit and could be a combination of all of those factors but he showed why he is one of the premier pitchers in the bigs. Lesser pitchers wilt when stuff like that happens and give up a 3-4 spot.

We have seen that with Bailey alot in his career. He will be sailing along and then the wheels fall off and gives up a big inning and we all say "Just one bad inning", but even he is getting better at minimizing the damage and you see his growth as a pitcher.

Sometimes it is skill, like cueto, and sometimes ya get luck like Bray did the night before!

WTF happened? Wife turned the channel with two outs and them not even threatening.

Have to admit...last night may have been the most boring game I have seen in quite awhile. It seemed to last forever and without the additional scoring ya would normally see in a longer game.

Marshall put two on with two outs, so it was a save situation. I guess because the tying run was in the on-deck circle. Same thing happened in the Pirates game. They were up 6-2 going into the 9th, brought Cruz in, he got two out and then walked two. They brought Hanrahan in, he got the final out and got a save.

Yeah.....that is the ruling that if a pitcher comes in and the tying run is in the on deck circle you get a save. Just tuned out when there were two outs and just ssumed Marshal got out of it.
If he wants to ever gain the trust to be a closer he cannot get himself in these situations.

The next level in Johnny's growth is to keep "stuff like that" from happening. I still can't get over how bad Bray was and he lucked out with the great DP started by Frazier, and then saved from a WP by a bounce, then then as bad a pitch as you can possibly make, a WP(almost), pitch that went wild off the inside part of the plate on a try for intentional ball 4!

I yelled out a What the Fuck when bray let that one fly.
I dont know if that really is the next level. ALl the pitchers find themselves in those situations from time to time...even the most elite. When you are a starter in GABP and have an ernie just above two......you have arrived.
