Robert is hitting everything to the right side and barely getting any of it. Even on pitches right down the middle. This is clearly some sort of mechanical issue.

He's hitting under .200 right now. The Dodgers might leave him off the post-season roster.

Wow Grandal. Great effort.

I can't wait for us to sign Joc Pederson this off-season. He'll probably hit under .200 just like every left handed hitter we sign.

Cleveland was getting no hit by the Pirates. I think that speaks to how poorly we played against them.

Yup, had we just won 1 game in Cleveland, we basically lock up the 4 spot. But now you basically gotta win these last 2 games after tonight to avoid being the 7th seed and playing on the road.

Nomar got a hanging middle/middle slider and pounded it into the ground...

Edwin should have gotten tossed.

You can't teach velocity. But somebody's gotta teach him control and a sinker.

It looked like the umpire was actually going to ring Grandal until that ball popped away.

It's weird cause they didn't really even celebrate getting the playoff berth. You'd think they knew of the higher goals and aspirations, but I guess not.

Whatever they did with Cease after the Minnesota start did not work. Let him go back to throwing out of the stretch. This is disgusting to watch right now.

Why would you even bother throwing Baez a fastball in the zone?

lol Cease can throw 102 and people will still hit his fastball.

Mitch Keller's left 2 straight starts with a no hitter. He somehow made it through 5 with 8 walks and no hits allowed against the Indians. Unfortunately, the last time this happened, the Cardinals came back from down 4 and won. This time the Indians are down 2-1 in the 6th.

Tim finally going oppo is encouraging. He was trying to pull everything in Cleveland.

Really good AB. Just hit it right at someone.

Come on Rally Engel!

Cease basically pitches himself into trouble. It's so fucking tiring.

So not only did we lose almost every game in the past week, we also managed to lose our 3rd best hitter. Whatever happened to preparing for the playoffs, staying healthy, and we don't care what seed we are? Just a fucking disaster.

What a fucking disaster this past week has been. I'm pretty sure he hurt it earlier in the Cleveland series and him playing the past few days just made it worse.

I just hope he's ready to play by Tuesday. It might not be a bad idea to DH Eloy and play Engel in LF for the playoffs.

Poor Jose won't see anything to hit tonight.

This really is the silver lining tonight. Rodon's velocity is super encouraging. It's too bad he threw like 2 off-speed pitches all night.
