Why does this team not swing at 1st pitch strikes?? It’s driving me crazy

Unfortunate placement but smoked by Yoan. Good job. Mercedes granny would be storybook...

Good job Marshall...still very confident in him. Can’t ask for a better 6th/7th inning guy. A lot of teams would love to have him as their setup man

Well the lead was nice while it lasted. LaRussa needs to start lining up 1 of kopech/crochet to be fully rested for Keuchel starts. Get 5 solid innings and get him out for 2 innings of relief

Nice hustle Mercedes. Didn’t expect him to beat that out, but no excuse for slowing up to 1st on a double play

Relax. There’s a very wide margin between a guy being overpaid and “washed up.” He’s more than likely what he was before coming here...a solid #3 starter/really good # 4

Yeah not buying that either...Robert would have to counter with the ability to draw walks consistently before that happens. He’s going to have to either hit the slider or lay off of it for pitchers to not keep throwing it, no signs of either yet. Not like most pitchers are incapable of throwing sliders for strikes

Might be unpopular but I hate Robert in the 2 hole. I’d switch him with Moncada. Let Yoan use his patience to work the pitcher and get on base at the top of the order and let Robert swing away for RBI’s at cleanup

Will never understand the Jason hate. He can be a bit of a “nerd” at times, but anybody who has mlb.tv and listens to other play by play guys should appreciate Jason. He really is 1 of the best

Don’t don’t if it’s coaching or not, but this team needs to get a lot more aggressive early in AB’s. Way too many very hittable fastballs watched

This team is finding ways to lose games

Wonder if anybody has ever let Holland know it would be easier to pitch if he doesn’t run away from home plate as he throws...

Not the greatest sign when you’re very high priced closer struggles to put hitters away

Just has to be miserable to face Kopech. Basically hoping you don’t get hurt or look silly

Just no reason to throw a fastball at all

I would go with an unintentional, intentional walk vs Merrifield. Don’t give him anything to hit

I thought Dozier was still at the top of his jump and fully outstretched when that ball went over his glove...

Way to shut people up Luery

Mike Minor embodies everything people complain about when saying baseball is too slow

There’s no way Tony’s blood pressure can handle a heated argument

Wow, just wow

Slowest DP ever

Good AB by Benintendi, layed off 2 really good close pitches...but lead off walk has disaster written all over it

Obviously injuries are the reason, but that lineup looks kinda 2018ish...

Is that a tattoo, bruise, or giant hickey on Yermin’s neck?
