flavum 997 Posted August 11, 2020 Could be a streaky team. Bottom line, they went 8-7 the first 15. If they do that three more times, they’re in the playoffs. But it’s looking ugly right now, and the injuries don’t help. Is Bummer supposed to be back after 10 days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danny Dravot 1 Posted August 11, 2020 Long time lurker, first time poster. I could be totally off base here, but I feel like a huge proportion of our offensive production is home run based. Like in our current predicament, our only hope is if we get a few big swings. One run was difficult, two is downright intimidating. We'll score twelve runs on occasion, but it's because we hit five bombs in the game. Smack two singles and a double? Operate our offense as a cohesive unit? Never heard of it. Compound it all with a seriously idiotic approach, like swinging at the first pitch after a pitcher throws eight straight balls. I'd like for our offense to not be super aggravating anymore.

Orlando 1,417 Posted August 11, 2020 There is not a coaching staff in baseball that has their team less ready to compete on a day to day basis. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awful free agent acquisitions on the offensive side have become the norm, so it’s hard to count on that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

almagest 267 Posted August 11, 2020 Everything is magnified because of the short season. If they started off 8-8 in a normal year I'd be pumped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harry Chappas 325 Posted August 11, 2020 Will be really fucking sad that detroit makes playoffs over white sox. They should just not have a hitting coach as the shitty approach never changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
