Such bad hitting with RISP. Gotta take advantage or these games are lost real quick. We’ve seen it enough already this year

And this is where 1 bad call by the umpire can ruin an entire game...

Perfect pitch and doesn’t get the call...tough

Good...defense? Feels weird to type

Congrats you win. But I’d say if you ask the team/people within the organization it’s Jose But in terms of fans (especially nationally) and the media Id say it’s TA

“Don’t get me wrong, it’s very early and I still have plenty of faith in Vaughn” That was in my post. Not sure if you’re criticizing me or genuinely asking? But I think starting him on the opening day roster was as close to pushing the chips all in...can’t pull them back on the flop, gotta see it through. For me that would be at least until the end of May getting regular AB’s. If after 150 AB’s he’s still late on 93 mph fastballs right down the middle like he was last night I’ll start questioning what’s wrong and call for someone else to get playing time

Lol why are you combing them and saying it’s “sizzling” as if Vaughn isn’t struggling and hitting .167? Don’t get me wrong, it’s very early and I still have plenty of faith in Vaughn...just a very strange way to try and frame it

Fundamentals are awful all across this team. The bats being slow to start a season is excusable, but professionals making this many routine errors and mental mistakes certainly isn’t. It’s best a dead horse...but well coached teams don’t look like this

What’s with our pitchers throwing fastballs over the plate with 2 strikes?

Vaughn is struggling with very hittable fastballs

Wow Vaughn...2 91 mph straight fastballs right down the middle

TA Moncada Abreu Yermin Robert Grandal Vaughn Eaton Nick Not bitching too much about the lineup today....but I would go with this if I were in control. Moncada and Eaton switch if Moncada doesn’t start hitting soon

I like Jason as an announcer...but he sucks as an interviewer

Yeesh 99...I don’t want to be THAT guy, but I hope Carlos’ arm is ok tomorrow

Ump felt bad for Carlos lol

No fucking way

Kid is going to hit .300 every year of his career. That only 1 swing and miss stat is just crazy

Did every one of our pitchers improve their change up this year? Is that a Katz specialty?

Nicky driving in runs with a drive to the gap...gotta love it

Plesac throwing meatballs. Just what our offense needed. Hopefully this confidence will spark something

No way that was only 431

Plesac is gonna have to change his underwear between innings. That was close YERMIN BOMB!!

The saddest part is how relatively little extra $ needed to be spent to take the roster over the top. It was very obvious 1 more hitter for depth/ DH rotation was needed along with another SP for depth/insurance to the very iffy combo of Cease and Rodon. I never expected him to spend huge on a SP like Bauer, but JR bumping the payroll up to a whopping 146/147 would have made a ginormous difference. Imagine this roster with LaStella and Robby Ray? That’s so little for a fanbase to ask for... Also out of curiosity, how much of a talent evaluation issue do people think plays into this? Is JR really the evil owner that refused to spend another penny, or did our front office evaluate the roster and think it was good enough? I feel like a good portion of the blame can be put on JR, but I do think some blame gets lost going in the Hahn/KW direction.

Imagine how big of an impact an extra $10mil spent in free agency would have made...

Gotta take that lamb
