About to start

See if Lopez can bounce back. He says it's a matter of focus as why he's been struggling lately.

Which is ironic because earlier in the season he called the team out...for lack of focus.

If it isn't 2-0 after 2 batters, Lopez is improving.

1 2 3      I K 2 GO

That Thome commercial is outstanding 

Swing the bat!  Can't be a guess hitter with 2 strikes.

He needs to protect better

Straight steal attempt of Delmonico vs Salvy?  Can a manager get benched!

Renteria needs to be shitcanned at the end of the season. He's horrible. It is an indictment on both front offices in town that they even employed him for one season.

Very well could've been a missed hit and run by Anderson.

And who would you rather have managing this rebuild? Ventura or Renteria? No other options just those 2.

Lopez deals, so the team can't or won't support him.

Lopez still not missing any bats, even with improved pitch placement. It is either baffling or maybe he's not an MLB pitcher.

Didn't see Nicky look back once, which usually signifies straight steal

Someone with a clue. Neither Renteria nor Ventura have one.

Bench his ass if he's not going to protect with two strikes. This is insane

What time did this game start? I see it's in the bottom of the 4th and my wall schedule says 1:10..

Moncada has been very inconsistent since early July- a really good game followed by a really bad game. I guess I can see why some are so low on him, if they only happen to be watching the bad ones

Yolmer swung on Ball 4.

free game of the day, lol, good one MLB

I personally want McEwing to be the manager. Loved his energy and enthusiasm as a 3B coach. Butt...he doesn't speak Spanish and that's half the team's first language. Like it or not, this team needs a bilingual manager, and Ricky's leadership skills are far and away better than Robin's. Right now, he's the best man for the job.

Davidson is so bad

Davidson strikes out on 3 fastballs down the middle after a 3-0 count. Give me Palka at DH the rest of the season,especially against RHPs

1-0 Sox. Abreu double, Avi infield single, Narvaez RBI single.

I'm fucking sick of Davidson.

I agree. I'd be all for giving Ozzie a second go if he didn't burn that bridge and piss on the ashes. Ozzie was actually a good manager, despite my criticism at times. I fail to see anyone other than Vizquel that fits the bill.
