When you aren't scoring runs errors kill you.

IIRC that video room quote was in the last survey like this we saw, and it seems to be hearsay from someone who knows a player that played here. We know they have a Trajekt machine now, so they're improving on these types of things. I'd be interested to find out if the actual video room is still a laptop in a closet - I suspect not. Nice to see Venable is well respected. Not surprising they have a bad rep above him. It's well deserved. Hope that changes with Ishbia at the top, and it seems like Getz & his staff are doing a better job on the levels below Reinsdorf. The "they fail players" perception was absolutely true. It's changing for the better.

If they did they're probably still looking at everything with stars in their eyes, so I would be cautious of their input in the same ways I would be cautious with a 13 year vet who by this point probably hates every org he's played in.

Pallette already had a rough go in the majors for an org that can pull good pitching out of their butts, so he'd be third on that list. Looks like Iriarte has been a little better than Peoples this year (.99 WHIP & 2.16 ERA vs 1.18 WHIP and 2.6 ERA), but both have been real good. Honestly I'd bring them both up.

Taylor closer, Dominguez later inning guy. They have too many lefties, so drop Eisert from the 40 man and add Ben Peoples from Charlotte. Once Wikelman Gonzalez is back bring him up and replace whoever is doing the worst.

Thank god for Antonacci

Got to get some offense back. Could have easily won the first game and this one, if not all three. Tigers playing for their season at home and Sox were not up to the task. Oh well, hopefully some home cooking solves this and they can get a couple games on Cleveland.

The guy wasn’t going. Gonna be tough to get two there but at least get one

Oh boy

Well s%*#

Known slugger Luisangel Acuna

Yeah 4 last night and 3 today so far are absolutely winnable games. Need to get melton out and get into that bullpen.

Oh boy Vargas got a good fastball to hit and completely pulled off it

Good challenge Sam

Would’ve been nice if the pitching didn’t give up 10

Such a different team on the road.

Just put up 7 runs off him. Leave the bush league stuff to losers like Cole.

It's amazing how well the infield is performing. You've got what looks like (in WAR) 5 5 3.5 5 potential across 3B, SS, 2B, 1B. The outfield is vastly improved too. Antonacci is playing like a 3/4 WAR guy. Still waiting to see how Braden holds down RF, but he's obviously who will be out there for a while. Peters is probably playing way over his ability but still - he's a good every day regular right now in CF.

JUST LIKE YOU DRAW IT UP

What a play I thought that was a base hit all the way

Warm someone up please.

A splitter probably gets him if it's close. He was amped for the fastball.

I don't think he's nibbling, I just don't think he knows where it's going

Oh good its super wild Dominguez so far this will be stress free!

Yeah, this is a REAL tough pitching matchup. Hope they can get into the bullpen quickly.
