Say what you want about Renteria, the players played hard for him.

Yeah I'll follow along, but I'm not gonna waste my time on a team if they play like this.

I kept my promise and didn't watch. Unfortunately it didn't work.

So is Bummer now the Kimbrel of the bullpen?

Vaughn and Burger are not middle infielders. Stop it.

I'll take one for the team.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I didn't watch a single minute of this game and they won. So until they lose again, I'm gonna not watch.

How severe is the surgery going to be? This will probably scare some teams off from giving him a max.

He and Abreu are 2 of the biggest reasons why this losing streak is at 8.

You think the players would like how smug Steve is? He's not manager material.

Well, at least that would mean he's no longer the 3rd base coach.

Ozzie hasn't coached in a decade though. I'm not sure he's the best guy to throw into the fire.

Yeah, I don't want Ozzie back either. The problem is that if you do get rid of La Russa mid-season, you're going to have a hard time getting the manager you really want. The next guy up will most likely be Cairo. The choices really are between shit and a shit sandwich.

Yup, we've really dug our own grave with the errors and bad relief pitching this past week. Had we not blown the 2 games in Minnesota with the errors and the bullpen implosion, we win 2 games on the road trip and things don't look so dire.

It's not just that this team has lost 8 in a row, it's how they've been losing. They haven't scored more than 4 runs even once in the last 11 games. They now have the worst run differential in the AL. They lead the league in errors and have the worst WHIP in baseball. Pretty much nothing is going right.

Honestly, the eventual blowup and getting rid of TLR is what's letting me cope with how bad this team has been.

I think the eventual off the field blow up for this team will be far more entertaining than the product on the field.

That can happen when you walk 8 times.

Statcast said that went 403 feet. How is that not gone in LF?

I guess we suck against everyone, not just righties.

lol TLR definitely got a talking to. Who knows if he took it seriously or not.

Hahn explains the surgery here. When you have 3 guys go down to the same type of injury, we're clearly doing something wrong in the strength and conditioning department.

How is the injury similar at all to Grandal and Lynn's injuries? Those were knee injuries, this is a hamstring.
