Blake Snell implodes in The Big Apple.

My head was hurting but the words weren't. Strawberry was reading something as I jotted down some notes onto a paper:
There is something about how weird of a pitcher Blake Snell is. Perhaps it's a growing process but perhaps it's he cannot inherit base runners without imploding. He was cruising through the first four innings. Allowing hitters to make contact and the defense doing their thing. Rickie Weeks, Jr. gave him a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first with a bomb to left field. By the fifth this all changed. He walked two. Tim Beckham committed an error that should've had one out but our first rounder committed another error. Despite his slumping, his defense hasn't been all that stellar either. Please Duffy! Please return!
Snell freaked out and spiked a ball leaving it to the backstop and allowing a free run. 3-1. It's just amazing how a pitcher has four really good pitchers yet cannot seem to control his fastball and walks people and picks around the zone when facing your 7, 8, 9 guys in the batting order. Ugh. Out goes Snell and in comes Xavier Cedeno. Walks in another free run. Gardner hits a come backer and no one is on second base due to the field playing in, no one at second and throws to first to at least get one out until the throw went south and Gardner slams into Rickie Weeks Jr. and the game is essentially lost. What a joke. There is even talk about sending Mallex Smith down. This team is a joke. I turned off the radio and muttered, "Go Devil Rays."

I put the pen down and passed out. Forget about it.
