Earlier when they faced the Dodgers Gonsolin they scored 4 runs on him while he came into that game with a 1.77 ERA. Burnes is a good pitcher but not a world beater and there is just no excuse to come out of the all star break with a dud like that.
This is an extremely young team and only the veterans have faced Burnes. He's pretty much had the best cutter in baseball for the last few years . . . you don't see the best cutter in baseball in the minors. He made them look really, really stupid . . . not just the bad swings, the non-swings on fastballs right over the plate.
I wouldn't doubt it if they were told to take pitches just to try to drive up the pitch count against Burnes to get him out of the game early.
They had back to back stinkers vs Kershaw and Montgomery(St Louis) and, to be honest . . . they've missed a lot of other teams Aces.
In Burnes three starts, his averages per nine innings pitched
2.50 ERA
3.5 hits
2.5 walks
13 strikeouts
