Kikuchi has no clue where his FB is going at all. Which, of course, is the norm.

Why didn't the team trade for another SP?

He's bad and the Jays should have known this at the deadline and apparently didn't care?

I never want to see Kikuchi pitch for this team again. I don't care how much he's owed.

I wonder if we'll be able to keep it within 5 runs by the end of the second. I doubt it.

Anybody can be called up at any time. Are you referring to expanded rosters?

Trade Kikuchi for a bag of baseballs.

What a fraud!

Kikuchi should never Start for this team again. Like I mentioned previously, have him maybe pitch in low leverage situations out of the Bullpen. He has been a disaster.
