He has his major league experience now, he gave up 5 runs to a team that was demoralized and punchless. Will Smith a terrible major league pitcher and should rot in AAA.

RFer played the ball pretty well. Throw was already coming in when Esky was at third.

I think it would have had to of taken a really good throw to get him. He was already rounding third when he was up with the ball.

Agreed he's not a good pitcher. He's a ground ball inducing pitcher when he locates.

Fair enough.

[Toadkiller]

Damn frenchy sucks.

[GoHuge]

With that long ass swing Hosmer has he makes minor league 93 mph fastballs look like they're 105 and unhittable.

[chiefsfan987]

They need to get someone up. Smith looks awful.

[petegz28]

lead off triple....yep...we are done....Yost didn't even give a **** about this game obviously......seems like only Escobar did

[MeatRock]

****ing terrible. Pull this piece of shit pitcher.

[RedDread]

Stream cuts out, comes back and dude has a triple....

[Hootie]

I streamed Kluber in my fantasy league. I feel somewhat dirty.

[gblowfish]

That's six runs in four innings. I've seen enough. Have fun on I-29 Mr. Smith.
