Dunning, Bummer, and Madrigal would make this club look a whole lot better!

Twenty games are not enough to make a firm judgement on...but as of today, McCann would be my choice between Grandal and McCann. Hope that home run yesterday unlocks Grandal's missing power tool.

A Ricky "promotion" is the only way for this to happen.

Ya got that right. Expected more than what we have seen so far. Keep the faith!

There is no reason to have talent evaluators if they can't identify the most talented players. Defense and speed are valuable assets and are more dependable than some other tools like power. At least for me...Madrigal doesn't have me talking to myself like the EE's of this game. Mendick has done very well and I am happy with his production as well. Day in and day out, however...Madrigal will help us win more ballgames IMO.

Yeah...it's like Ricky has some kind of sixth sense.☺️

All we had to do was B***h & Moan a little about the boys being unwatchable and we tie the record for back to back home runs. Gotta love this game.?

Waiting for Madrigal yo get back before they rest Moncada.

Neither KW nor RH is going anywhere as long as JR is the owner. RR is our best hope. I am normally not a fire everyone guy...but a shakeup is needed. Game after game feels like a lack of urgency.

That is absolutely correct. When you don't use Collins...it is a self-fulfilling prophecy that he won't amount to anything useful. What a waste EE has turned out to be.

Six hits combined for two games. Not going to win many games with that offensive output. The lineup needs a shakeup desperately.

Can not argue with the facts. Adam Engel has contributed far more to this season than EE. I would hate to see Adam go elsewhere far more than EE.

We need a shakeup. New Manager...New Lineup...New Owner. I don't care what...just something. This is getting unwatchable. The Cards looked a lot more ready to play these games than we did.

I did not hear that...but I would almost assume it.

It feels like half the games we lose are lost in the first inning. Need to change something in how we prepare...maybe 10 more pitches after the starter thinks he's ready.

Lately, I have been having the same thoughts about Jose Abreu's fielding. He seems to have worked on improving quite a bit. He no longer looks like a defensive liability.

We won every game...seems he must have been important!

I didn't require a fix.

It does make me wonder how the teams talent evaluators could be this wrong...seems impossible.

The loss of Anderson and Madrigal has been felt big time. Aside from statistics...they are two of our high energy guys. It matters.

I don't know where you get the Jirschele / Ventura comparison. Every article I see about Jirschele refers to his being submerged in analytics.

When we get solid pitching...we expect to win.

Eddie Stanky was a good baseball guy as well.

I think we are all in agreement. Delmonico is a likeable guy who we don't want to see in our lineup anymore.

Very nice! Looks like a ton of work.
