lol almost gave up back to back jacks. At this point he's worse than Lucas was last year.

Last season if you squinted you could see a great pitcher in Giolito. Can't say the same about Lopez. 

Man, a lot of people in these game threads work really hard to suck any enjoyment out of anything. No wonder people don't come into these.

Man, fuck Ricky. Why would you send Leury there? Yoan hit it 458 feet in his last at-bat. And he's a patient hitter, so even if he doesn't come through, he runs up Strasburg's pitch count and almost surely makes next inning his last.

And bunting with Reylo on two strikes? Even in situations where hitters should bunt (i.e. the pitcher is hitting), Ricky overdoes it like the simpleminded twit he is.

I hate Ricky so much. If there's any reason to root for team failure, it's so he gets shitcanned. Unfortunately, we'll probably hover just under .500 and the idiots in our FO will credit this idiot enough to let him keep his job. Embarrassing.

I was thinking the same thing .let Moncada work the pitch count more. Ricky totally helping them out!

What makes you think Reynaldo is capable of accomplishing anything against Strasburg by swinging away?

If you want to be technical, his first at-bat would have sufficed.

I also think that's a weird thing to be upset about. Especially with nobody out.

 let's go bats!  let's get some runs back.

Bouncing out weakly which would have resulted in a double play?

It's a good venting place. I can cry for joy and pick my kid up and run around the house like a happy lunatic when we do something great, but I can't (and don't want) to scream "fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck" in his and my wife's faces when we screw up. So I come here. You're welcome.

THANK YOU!!!

Lopez can’t hold a lead it’s becoming a habit

It wouldn't have been two. Either way, telling him to bunt with two strikes is betting low on your own players. Show confidence.

I agree somewhat. But Damn constantly?

There's a difference between venting and finding any reason to injection something to b**** about.

Moncada looks locked in currently 

Yoan must be seeing Strasburg really well

Moncada is locked in. 

Have a day Yoan

What a sexy game from Moncada. HR, 2 BBs. ?

YoYo walk!

Really good at-bats for Moncada tonight.

Negativity gets the most reaction ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Abreu has been so bad recently.

Wtf Abreu? He just walked the leadoff guy and you're swinging at bullshit???

Abreu's plate discipline is hard to watch
