The announcers didn't mention it until the 2nd inning but from the first pitch he has looked out of whack, his whole motion looks to be in slow motion. Why would you leave him out there when he is obviously not healthy? His fastball has been low 80's most of the time, with only about 3 pitches up to 86 to 88. Two double plays have kept him for being in major trouble. Somebody should be warming up in the pen NOW!!! Don't leave him out there until it's too late. Can't count on scoring 8 or 10 runs every night.
Wainwright looks miserable

Last night I said Oh needs to go, or not be in a game with the lead. I should have included Cecil in there too. Can't keep running him out there, I don't care what kind of contract he has it's one they might just have eat and cut him loose.
I have to give MM some credit here. Not an easy decision to make. Cecil is back to looking like he couldn't get me out. It's a hard call when the starter can only cover 5 innings. This pen is just brutal. Still confused at why SammyT and Weaver don't get more of a look here.
When your SP is down seven miles an hour someone on the staff needs to get him out of there before he hurts himself. I really disliked that. I still don't trust our medical staff.
His whole delivery looked strange from the first pitch, every thing he did was in slow motion. MM should have taken the trainer out and told Waino he was done when the umpire showed up and give someone all the time they needed to get loose. That was all very strange.
When you have Weaver ready to go in AAA plus an absurdly large bullpen...there's really no excuse for letting a guy potentially blow out his arm or tear an oblique trying to compensate for his arm.
Might be what MM wants because he doesn't have the guts to tell Waino he is going to the bullpen or DL.
If that is really the case they ought to fire him on the spot.
You know me well enough to know I'm just the old retired guy sitting at a computer throwing stuff out there. I think it's called being a troll
