If that's the goal then he's doing a good job.

So you're telling me he's been doing this for 40+ years?

They'll just blame it on injuries.

Leury has 2 fucking hits on the season. He's got more errors than hits and he's hitting fucking third. It's so absurd.

This has to be TLR trying to make some kind of a point right? He even moved Jose down to 4th just so he can hit Leury 3rd. WTF is going on?

Damn, this series just got a lot more interesting.

He also got fouled on the layup. If Giannis takes that much contact, he's for sure shooting free throws.

Middleton and Portis both got hurt. Portis will probably be fine, but Middleton hurt his knee. It'll be interesting to see if either can play on Friday.

Gotta say this game really made my day, especially after the 2 embarrassing Sox games today.

Refs really tried to give the Bucks that game. Vuc was actually awesome. DeMar was amazing, and Zach made some timely 3s. I would have liked to see some better defense late in the game. There were way too many easy baskets in the paint for the Bucks. Once Vuc got into foul trouble for the 2 BS calls on him in the span of a minute, the defense was not the same.

So...that 1st half was unexpected.

Are you really surprised Eloy hurt himself?

lol how fragile does TLR think these guys are? This is a game that is played at least 6 times a week. If guys can't play back to back days, what are they doing in the Majors?

TA and Abreu were almost equally bad in the first and second inning today.

The team clearly was not ready to play today in game 1. I'm not sure what TA and Abreu were doing during the 2 off days, but they showed up like they smoked to celebrate 4/20 prior to the game. Keuchel started out pitching fine and then unraveled after the error in the 2nd inning. He went from keeping everything low in the zone in the first inning to leaving everything up in the zone. We know what happens when Keuchel does that. The struggles for Robert are a little concerning. He has hit some balls hard during his 0-20 stretch, but he's looking overmatched almost every at bat. Unfortunately it reminds me of his at bats in September of 2020. I think he'll be able to hit himself out of it, but his slump has come at a time where just about everyone in the lineup is not hitting. Abreu is off to his usual bad April start. Grandal is hitting like crap without his usual patience and walks. Eloy looks lost at the plate and can't decide what stance he wants to use. TA is hitting, but his defense today bordered on sabotage. Vaughn did have a good game 1, but looked fairly sluggish game 2. Without a Yermin-esque performance to carry this offense, we're gonna be starring at .500 by the end of April if our big hitters don't figure it out. IMO, if this team really felt as embarrassed as they should have for game 1, they'll come out tomorrow and jump on Plesac like they jumped on Civale to clinch the Central last year. That was a team that looked motivated to win. Right now they don't look like they have that motivation and it's hard to convince me otherwise with the showing from the team and TLR today.

The signs of an eventual bad stretch of games were there all homestand. We straight up didn't hit in the previous 4 games. The offense is going to need to right itself.

When he has hit the ball hard this year, it's been right at people. He at least walked a lot last year, but we're not seeing that so far. There's also been a ton of weak contact, which didn't happen that often last year, even when he wasn't hitting.

With the way today is going, the Bulls are gonna commit 50 turnovers and lose by 40.

When the company man is complaining, you've really done something wrong.

Cleveland knew what they were doing when they cancelled the game yesterday. They knew TLR wouldn't put out a real team for one of the games.

I better see the guys who sat on the bench in game 2 fresh and ready to hit tomorrow. This was an embarrassing day of baseball.

This offense is in a huge slump. We can say that TLR put out a minor league lineup in the 2nd game, but it's not like we hit in game 1 with most of the regulars in.

Seriously...they gave up 3 runs in 16 innings.

Would Joe Maddon pull a Roberts?

Haseley isn't even on the team full time and he hit him in the 2 hole while hitting Vaughn 6th and Engel 8th.
