That’s our number 4 hitter!  Nice to hear some booing

Go the fuck away Alonso.  Gottdamn. 

Is Collins ready yet?!

Gotta love the Yond.

Yonder has achieved Adam LaRoche suck levels at this point.  

 

 

It seems Renteria’s lineup construction eliminates the chance of scoring in so many situations. 

Don‘t worry guys we have Castillo up next.

If we hold them at 3, we win. 

He gone!

Managers have all kinds of reasons why they bat a certain guy clean-up.

I have no clue what RR's is.

His line-up positioning in general defies explanation.

So true, having your 4-5-6 be your worst hitters along with one of your best having Yolmer behind them just makes no sense.

With Alonso, Sanchez, and Castillo in this lineup to go along with the parade of light hitting OFs we send out there each night,   How the fuck are we only 2 games under .500 right now?

Modern thinking says it’s best to stack your two sub .185 hitters back to back in the 4th & 5th spots of the lineup.

The obligatory Hot Dog Timmy mis-play.  

 

And the misplay there is costly.

Why do you guys keep tempting the baseball gods with this bullpen?!

C'mon man...

I mean they said they couldn't afford 50 million over 10 years. But yet they just wasted 30 something  million on 4 garbage players this offseason. So I kinda understand his frustration. 

Jansen got his season going this weekend.

Giving up 2 homers to Janssen in a series is like giving up 4 to Adam Engel.

No, LaRoche was much better than Alonso. Alonso is closer to 2011 Dunn on the Suck-o-Meter

Jace has been a huge disappointment.

Welp

It's much easier to win games hitting HRs.   We just don't hit enough of them.   Especially with that middle of the lineup we send out there. 

 

E blanking 6 

Hard to believe. According to my math, Jansen will never have an OPS over .550.
