I would have kept Crick over Sousa and/or Banks.

TBF, that scenario sounds hell of a lot better than not watching any interesting baseball all season. I have the sickness - I won’t be able to look away even though I know I should. So I’d much rather see that play out than more of what we’ve seen.

Probably just bringing up Martin to piggyback VV or visaversa.

Welp, McGuire probably just earned another DH start this road trip.

A staff shakeup after this disaster series would be nice.

Lol you think he really needs to be told that? These guys are not idiots.

I didn’t take that as “ripping” on the fans. Everyone wants results right now.

That's fair, but its the situation we find ourselves in.

Twins continue to suck, so we got that going for us. Find a way to win this game, and somehow, we gained ground this week.

Yeah, its insane if that is actually what is stopping them from making a change. But sadly, it probably is.

Jinx.

I mean even Jerry had to be looking at this 21-25 window as huge opportunity to make $ and increase the value of the franchise before he passes away. The payroll is the highest its ever been in team history; he didn't do that to sport a .500 club. He also didn't get to where he is in life being a fucking idiot. I just cannot for the life of me fathom that the folks in charge of this operation are OK with what is going on. How in the flying fuck do you allow this to continue to happen? Its all so mind boggling.

Even Rees had to be like WTF? I am DHing?

I mean, Rick and Kenny can't possibly be in support of this clown show. McGuire at DH!?!?!?!?! Pollock has his best game in weeks and he is on the bench! Mendick is on a roll; benched. Leury hitting .180 at lead off!?! Its just inexcusable as we sit at 23-25.

Since you watch the Padres, how bad did he look defensively at 2B?

Hey! Robinson Cano is available again after going 3/34 with the Padres!

Romy has been hurt, just returned and played the field for the first time last night, and left in the middle of the game. He's not an option right now.

Touche. I am assuming competence, which generally shouldn't be too much to ask. But we're all in agreement we've seen a clear lack of just that the last 15 months.

No argument from me. We have an absolutely looney tune managing this team.

The idea being that he’s being punished and that’s why he’s not playing, or just that he’s playing like shit cuz he’s out partying til the wee hours?

I really think if Eloy was taking back LF we’d see Pollock playing RF and Vaughn LF. But when they both play it’s opposite. Seems like TLR has mostly given up on Pollock in RF, which makes me think they’re going to DH Eloy most of the time, where he quite obviously belongs.

Hadn’t heard that one.

I don’t really think the FO overhyped anything. Yoan was the #1 prospect in the game. Has he lived up that? No. But he’s still a well above average 3B, that again, does a lot of things well that this team is poor at. I am not defending his 2022 play, but it hasn’t been very long and he’s obviously not 100%. A lot more patience is warranted before “dump this piece of trash” takes.

He plays hockey tho.

Moncada has been bad, but dude hasn’t even started 2 weeks worth of games and the pitchforks are out in full force. He’s not a perfect player but any means, but he’s a good one and one that does a lot of things this team does super poorly when he’s playing well. I am frustrated with him too, but He deserves a lot more patience than 2 weeks worth of games.
