Christ... Vaughn should be up man.

It’s sad when you know your #5 hitter has no chance against a set-up man

McCann should have been DH or catcher tonight way to go Ricky

We trot out an everyday DH hitting .165. Wtf.

I miss Palka...not really but this is getting ridiculous.

And a RF with no homers.  Kind of amazing the offense is as good as it is.

This /\

Thrilled that Edwin played today. Not sure if I've mentioned that yet tonight

Speaks to the job Menechino is doing.

Come on Gio, don't suck

I'm sure glad he was batting 5th tonight with McCann on the bench.  Thanks rick!

Hey RR

 

Gio?? Come on

Why is it so difficult to find a productive DH? And why is McCann not playing more?

Great lineup construction Ricky.  Most people want the better hitters getting more ABS, then there is you.  

This an example where people who say lineup construction doesn’t really matter over the course of a full season don’t understand context and the fact that our win probability changes significantly with just one run there.  Oh well, at least we kept a veteran happy by batting them in an important spot.

Ricky playing Limbo with EEs batting average...must be trying to see how low you can go with it

That situation last inning is exactly why we b**** and moan about Ricky's lineup construction. 

EE gets at bats because our wonderful GM can't stop signing shitty stop gap veterans.  Even after he came out and said they weren't going to do that.  Then he proceeded to do just that the last two years.  EE doesn't get released because Hahn doesn't want to admit yet another failure of a FA signing. 

Now Gio is in a 1-1 game late.  

I believe if you sprinkled around pictures of the players and gave a 3 year old a stick and told them to pick the pictures they liked best by tapping the stick on the picture, the 3 year old probably would construct a better lineup and make better bullpen decisions than Ricky.  

 

The only job your DH has is to hit. EE has to be sat down.

A monkey could make better bullpen decisions than Ricky. 

RR should’ve used McCann off the bench as a substitution in that situation. Oh well, hopefully they will learn from that.

I for one look forward to our pursuit of a real RF this offseason.  What old dude will be out in RF with numbers based on the previous decades body of work.  

I really wanted Edwin to break out. I’ve always liked him. But enough is enough. Can’t be starting him everyday, especially not in a production spot. 

Dude how the fuck do you walk Adrienza 3 times?
