Didn’t think there was any chance of saying this before the season…but this team is really hard to watch right now. This offense is just putrid

Sure is, didn’t realize that. I might be desperate enough to settle for Josh Reddick at this point honestly.

Can we just give up a couple of nothing prospects for Asdrubal Cabrera and Cole Calhoun? Sadly both would be welcomed additions to the roster for at least another month +

If the team was healthy I’d 100% agree. But are you really looking at these lineups and thinking that under performing is the issue? I think we are sending out bad lineups that are performing about as expected. There’s just no way I can logically think that sending Luery, Mendick, Mercedes, Goodwin/Lamb/Eaton out as regulars for another month + is going to “work itself out”. The question for me is whether or not the pitching staff can continue to carry the team and keep things afloat until reinforcements come…or does a move need to be made sooner rather than later

DBacks- David Peralta and Asdrubal Cabrera fill our needs very nicely and shouldn’t cost a top prospect

I think people are panicking on Marshall too soon. Despite some early struggles I still like our bullpen a good bit honestly. Pretty much any team ever could use 1 more arm, but it’s not a major priority in my eyes. If 1 of the starters goes down is a bigger concern to me…a long man that can start a few games might be best, if possible. Give me another OF’er and a better utility guy to reinforce the offense. D Backs are a good trade partner target for me- David Peralta and Asdrubal Cabrera would be ideal and probably wouldn’t cost that much.

Well in that case…my bad. Not on here enough to pick up sarcasm like that from a particular user

Have you also ponder the fact that you might be an idiot? .774 OPS and 118 WRC+ this season and 1.5 WAR in basically 1/2 season worth of a baseball career so far. Yup, you’re definitely an idiot

What are we even doing if replay doesn’t overturn that? Absolute joke

I’m no doctor or expert, but didn’t look like there was any reason to assume any kind of tear. Knee didn’t bend or twist in a concerning way that I saw. He’ll probably have a hell of a bruise for sure, but doubt the umps backhand toss was enough to cause a deep bone bruise or anything

What an asshole. Jose deserved that

Fuck that umpire. But thank god it’s more of a bruise situation at worst. Immediately thought he tore something

Oh my god no.

Idiotic. This is what happens when you have a manger from the 90’s that has pickled his brain in alcohol

BDN

Full on platoon with Yermin shouldn’t be far away…

Dare I say that Lamb should be playing more? Especially for a guy that most want off the team…

Well…this isn’t going well

The dream is Peralta from the crappy Dbacks…highly doubt it would happen and don’t even know what we’d offer, but 1 can hope

With only a 1.5 game division lead, can this offense really sustain another 2+ months without Eloy and Robert? Even if it’s trying Rutherford and/ or Sheets…something has to give sooner or later

Is there any difference between Yaz and Collins behind the plate?

Yaz has the same bat speed as my grandmother…0 chance against any decent pitcher. Starting to get real ugly with him, especially with his defense not being anything special either

Crazy Yoan was able to pull that. Pitcher makes a perfect pitch and just better hitting

Don’t know if it’s been said yet- but this is absolutely horrific way to attract free agents if LaRussa continues to be the manager going forward. Who would want to play for this clown? Not only is he a dinosaur, but he throws his players under the bus as well

I don’t see how “not enough evidence” is possible on that kind of play. Freeze frame- either the foot beats the ball in the glove or not. Looked pretty clear without slow motion or freeze frame
