Not even close to the #9 hitter.

Seems obvious

Ricky will give him 2 more innings...kidding

The truth is right now, it’s a fairly pedestrian offense with all these injuries.

Beautiful 3-2 slider

Is he really scared to challenge Zimmer? That was sad

Embarrassing hustle for Abreu

Aced him!

It’s nice having someone with Engel’s range in RF

This offense has to find a way to put up bigger numbers vs starters. Only scored more than 3 runs twice I believe

These injuries are absolutely ridiculous. Our guys can’t even run without getting hurt.

And Yoan has another lower leg injury it appears

Yes, one good season in a launching pad compared to sub .260 seasons the rest of his career.

He has to have a 20-30 hit tool

Because their GM knows he doesn’t have eternal job security

It’s simple, we have a manager that doesn’t, and has never had to, show a sense of urgency.

Here’s a meatball take by me, but it’s frustrating Mazara isn’t ready to go tonight. You have a lot of teammates injured and were acquired for specific games like tonight against righties with good breaking pitches.

Ricky has never managed in a pennant chase, and now he’s forced to manage each game with more importance than usual. It was never a good fit for this unique season.

Yep, injuries are definitely taking a toll.

As someone else mentioned, I think you consider it if you can get a controllable stud. Now, who would that be? I have no idea.

Yeah they have a pretty awesome foundation going forward. Really seems RF and starting pitcher(s) is the biggest, and possibly only, area for improvement.

Hell of a “rebuild” game. Robert’s swinging and missing a hell of a lot.

This is a game where Kopech opting out hurts. He could have been piggybacking with Gio or used so Detwiler could piggyback. There’s just no pitching depth due to injuries.

Horseshit performance by everyone but Leury tonight. Really an inexcusable effort all around.

How about older players in general? They tend to come here and die
