50% of the anger is the manager man. doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results with lopez is insanity. he had very little again tonight and was walking a fine line. At a certain point you can't leave him out there to get guillotined, rebuild year or not. Rick has to be accountable to his team and there's no shame in trying to build off a decent 5/1/3 performance on the road with a young scuffling starter.

lol I've never seen that. That guy had me cracking up. Classic Socal baseball field he was on too.

Honestly looking and listening to Cooper it's amazing he's only in his mid 60s. Health wise he appears almost done. He is 63. If you didn't know that you'd assume 70+ easy. I know some pretty fit and active 60s, Cooper ain't it.

The Mariners have given up double digits like 10 times this year already. At least we aren't them. BUT MAN OUR PITCHING SUCKS (not you Gio, I see you).

dad gummit.

GREAT JOB RENTERIA!

that's an insult to jackson, big time. jackson was a solid big league #3 that always teased as more. Lopez ain't even a 5th starter.

yea he doesn't look like a MLB quality player.

not about coddling it's about trying to win games in a surprisingly competitive season.

He should have never been allowed to pitch to Rendon. But Renteria is trying to develop him or something.

Thank fucking god they got Giolito out it. Lopez is a bum.

He's awful. LMAO at McCann LITERALLY HOLDING HIS GLOVE IN THE CENTER OF THE PLATE FOR HIM!

get someone warming up rick.

He has NO CLUE WHERE ANY OF HIS PITCHES ARE GOING EVERY START.

feeling like a loss now.

Eh he hasn't had any command on his curve all night, and what is eloy doing? whiffing on curves that are in the dirt. Should be much better 3rd time through ID'ing where to attack. @flavum exactly.

god damnit.

nasty sinker to eloy there.

up to a 297 OBP!

he won't work at closer either.

Can't ask your players to do stuff they aren't capable of. Rickie is a master at it.

What a moronic fucking decision to steal with Yoan up. Take the bat out of his hands! Brain dead.

Well at least only one more inning for Strasburg then their shit pen.

did you see him try and bunt? He was better off swinging.

Gonna be a 4.5 hour game at this pace.
