So instead of Robert killing himself covering for Sheets, he and Eloy get to risk killing each other on every ball in the gap. Hooray.

Sheets starting in RF every day again? If Robert weren't already having leg issues, this will surely compound the issue...

I’m speaking only of this year playing his natural position.

The streak of consecutive series losses is still intact, never you fear.

Can’t lose if you don’t play?

The most infuriating part is how he tries to wash his hands of the failures of the baseball ops people, knowing full well he has his tendrils deep in that front office, infecting every aspect of the org. He has the power to replace the FO with competent baseball people but simply refuses because his sycophants are totally on board with his money making above all else scheme. TLR is the prime example of JR’s interference with baseball ops, but he gets to gaslight us because his billions insulate him from any accountability.

Not in the upper minors, no.

f*** JR You’ve milked this fanbase for billions. Cash out and sell the damn team already…

If anyone has any illusions about where Jerry stands on all of this, I implore you to read through all of these quotes. Fair warning though, they are pretty infuriating. This team will never win anything ever again with him as chairman.

In case you haven’t noticed, they just lost 10 straight, are 13 games under, haven’t won a single series in the first month, and are a laughingstock. I’m not trying to tell anyone how to be a fan, but anyone here “waving a white flag” or “screaming the sky is falling” is doing so with ample evidence to suggest this team is dead, dysfunctional, and going nowhere fast. If you’d like to ignore the last 10 months or so of baseball this team has played, by all means. But maybe don’t drag fans who see the big picture and have endured enough of this team’s bullshit.

I am 100% rooting for the losses to pile up. I don’t actually enjoy my favorite team losing all of the time, but that misery is familiar. I am merely convinced that JR is an impediment to winning, and any decent stretch of games delays the house cleaning that is desperately needed. I don’t have any belief that JR does this of course, which just makes me double down on wanting this dysfunctional s%*# show to burn all the way down. Let them be a national embarrassment every single day until he sells or passes.

All I am saying he hasn’t been good to this point, especially on defense. He’s not finished product yet so there is still hope that he can that middle of the order power bat he was projected to be coming into the draft.

This is one area where Beckham can actually provide helpful insight. He’s much better when he doesn’t have to fill dad air, or feels the need to fill dead air. They both are spot on here and it really speaks to the dysfunction still going in inside the locker room.

Are we really sure that he does? What if it was all just a fever dream?

Even if everyone else hit their full potential, Vaughn as is would still be a disappointment. Granted, the team wouldn’t be so dependent on his production but it would still be suboptimal for his position.

I just wanted to echo all of this. AV needs to be a lot better. The lack of power and poor D really drag down any positives.

It’s so hard to choose honestly. Push comes to shove I’d have to go Eloy. Moncada at least provides excellent D at 3B when he’s healthy. If Eloy isn’t hitting, he gives you nothing. He’s the biggest flop to me.

Winning this catastrophe of a game changes nothing. Unfortunately it does further delay what should have happened ages ago.

Yup

You know it will

The list of fireable offenses is so tall it can longer support stacking more on top.

The curse is just JR

It looks chilly and wet an hour before game time, but the hourly has the rain holding off until 4ish. Probably no weather related mercies today...

Yup. What a complete hack shill. No one with any journalistic integrity left can tweet that in earnest.
