We're also seeing why AJSS, at this point in his return process, is not a starter.

His command still isn't there so his pitch count gets driven up with a quickness and he is relying on his full pitching repertoire from the very beginning.

It makes it so much easier for the lineup to pounce the second time through.

That's gotta be the hardest hit ball Kim has hit all season.

Terrible job by 2-3-4 in the order after Hicklen and Kim turned the lineup over.

That's alright, we'll make a move at the deadline for more starting pitching

That’s where AA’s lack of intention at the deadline really fricked us.

AJSS should be finishing this year in Gwinnett to get his confidence and comfortability back after the grueling TJ rehab process. Instead we fast tracked a 23-year-old back to the majors because we needed instant reinforcements in our rotation for the stretch run.

Just bad overall planning that put a young, high-potential prospect in a no-win situation

Twice we have Hicklen and Kim get on with no outs and we’ve scored one total run via the top of our order.

This offense is just not good no matter how you look at it.

This offense horrendous. When I got home, it was the 4th already. What happened to AJ?

Hicklen better than Yaz & Thomas?

A lot of pitches out there zone and poor defense by Olson

AJ has good stuff……he’s always had command issues at this level though. You were correct further down in this thread as well though……AA should not have been banking on a KID coming back from TJ rehab being a difference making SP in a postseason run.

Between this offense’s ineptitude and the lack of a dominant starter after Sale…….this is going to be a very quick postseason

Ronald’s best days are behind him. In a sport where the power is generated from your legs and torn ACLs are uncommon, having both knees being reconstructed might be a killer.

I’ve always had questions about whether AJ would be able to stick as a SP, because he has never been consistent with command.

He was definitely put in a terrible situation this year coming off the rehab though

He was arguably out pitching Sale in the month and a half prior to TJ last year.

His pitch mix is too robust for a reliever. He’ll be fine.

September Olson living up to its billing one day into the month.

It's fitting that we picked up Suter as a white flag innings eater.
