Blue wants to go home

That was a great pitch though

Eh, idk it could have gone either way.

Man Eloy has gotten rung up on some questionable strike calls lately.

His height throws off umpires. That’s fine if that’s a strike, but you can’t be a freaking idiot like Hernandez and call one at his ankles.

McCann average falling hard

Hey.

Hey Guys.

Hey.

That inning was our 3-4-5 hitters.

 

I feel for McCann. Dude is playing soooo much and his numbers are plummeting by the day.

12 of 16 games with multiple strikeouts for McCann.  I wonder if he ends up hitting above .240.

But yet somehow no one blames the manager for running him into the ground.

Looking around this thread and every other one here, I think A LOT of people blame the manager.

Unfortunately Hahn and JR are not among those people

79 out of 107 for a catcher is way too much.

They both get their share of shit,  believe me.

No, I am saying Hahn and JR don't blame Ricky, but I think the rest of us do (and also yes, we blame Hahn and JR too). I think for most fans, the free pass is over.

Nasty pitch by Ruiz.

So tired of bad umpiring. No reason for this many misses.

I haven't predicted in a while. We're not winning this game, folks. Chalk up another L. Odds are very much against us on road in extras.

15 strikeouts, 1 walk for the Swingin Steverson’s

Still the same result, but probably Zavala's best AB in the big leagues (which isn't saying much).

His swing path is scary bad. Not sure how this will ever possibly work at this level.  I would like to see him against a LHP.

People talk about Collins and Reed. He's by far looked the worst out of anyone in the sample size.

To be fair, he’s also been the worst of those 3 in the minors this year.

Everyone deserves their share of blame. The injuries suck though. I wonder what would have happened to Hansen had he stayed healthy in 2018. His 2017 was incredibly exciting and I was more excited about him than even Giolito, Kopech or Cease on January 31st 2018.

And the one with zero real significant prospect pedigree.

The whole coaching staff needs to be launched into the sun. 

I liked Cooper for years but he's a relic now. The game has passed him by.

Josh Nelson posted some charts this morning about just how bad the OBP numbers have been throughout the organization.

Carson Fulmer actually throwing strikes... I like this version of him.
