fucking pathetic.

what are we even watching with this ump and hill's curves?

Playing a lot of fucking day games.

You're a good newish poster and I get what you're saying. It happens on sports message boards every season, some fans would rather be proven right then watch their team win. Other than maybe Parkman, I don't think we have any of those types here.

I hope they get hotter than s%*# just to stuff it up my ass, as always.

Nobody roots for failure. More cynical posters do take some pleasure in being proven right, as we should.

I mean on paper this is an 82-84 win club. It appears the offense has regressed positively just in time for Hahn to build one of his bullpen specials. So yea, I have no idea why anybody would expect 90+ wins with the talent we have. Compared to two years ago the pitching talent is down across the entire board.

It's slightly alarming that if we aren't going to get 6 strong innings from our starters we appear to be in danger of giving up 10+ runs.

I'm getting Bevington vibes from Grifol.

every fucking game I watch we get blown out early.

lost it pretty quickly, jesus.

dodged a bullet there.

someone check him for the sticky stuff, mercy.

ROBOTS

Lynn looks pretty sharp three pitches in.

Once again the shitty 2B is the guy on pace to play a trillion games. The more things change...

So many guys play with the damn webbing hardly even laced up now. I get you want a soft feel and a deep pocket but bro you're also facing dudes that can hit it 109mph.

Given his history he's not gonna get the benefit of the doubt from any ump. Is what it is. If he keeps hitting I don't really care if he gets thrown out once every other week.

I feel like that's just part of his persona and brand at this point. None of his ejections lately have been really ejection worthy imo. I just rewatched it on MLB.tv and yea, @Tony is right, he didn't need to get so upset the ump called it correctly it seemed.

He's 3/15 to start the year for a 200/250/267 slash. Entering today he had a 25 OPS+, granted still an ultra small sample. But that "slow start" now brings his career slash to 168/250/335 for an OPS+ of 65 in his first 566 MLB PA. I believe he is challenging the worst mark after 600 PA in MLB history for BA.

You need to separate process and results buddy -- every early aughts writer at BPro

When does launch angle normalize for a team? That will be a key metric for us as we get into the meat of the season.

13 more hits. Other than the opener of this series the offense has been pretty damn good.
