1 hit, 4 walks, 4 LOB

Embarassing at bats to end that inning

The problem with our lineup is that the guys that are supposed to produce are producing like the guys that aren't supposed to produce, and the guys that aren't supposed to produce are what they are

Lol.  Second highest OPS, after Grandal, who is hitting all of .177.

Unless you count Sheets.

You can count Sheets for the *very least* 1 more PA, maybe 2.  So you should.

0-5 RISP

Giolito's fastball command is just garbage this year. 

His changeup effectiveness has been affected by the poor fastball command.

I hope every fan that thought last year’s team was too reliant on home runs stops watching baseball forever

Let's trade for McCann.

C'mon who'se with me?!?!

At this point hope for a delay after 4 and pick up tomorrow. 

Whatever became of the Danny Mendick that people were saying can replace Nick without losing a beat?

No, I think he's just having a bad year. 

this game about to get postponed, suspended or whatever.

Former Braves catcher?  KW Special.  
 

We’re not going to add payroll...although at this point Grandal for McCann would be acceptable to start over on the catcher search.  Ironic that Narvaez statistically is one of the best, and not at a $73 million price tag.

1) The immediately-replaceable version of Madrigal kind of went away when he started playing better defense and making better throws.  And keeping his head in the game more.

2) Danny needs some time.  Rome wasn't built in a day.

Not sure if this has been posted here. I hate Jeff Vukovich

ya but every year he gets more playing time his hitting gets worse and worse.. same thing happened last year.

he aint got it.

Maybe it's the humidity but no Ks and few if any swing and misses

This is getting delayed in a few moments 

 

More rain, YAY!…

Here comes the tarp.  Hooray.

Why do we need to give him time? He's not that good to begin with.

There's always a desire to be ideally well-rounded.  You want the ability to hit HRs, and also to manufacture runs mostly by playing quality fundamental baseball.  You also really love speed.  Speed kills (sometimes). 

There are few things more frustrating in baseball than starting an inning with a lead-off double and then not scoring the guy because nobody can hit the ball to the right side and/or hit a sac fly when necessary.  Obviously you'd love the basehit or HR more but execution is important.

Every fan will always notice possible areas of improvement.

But yes we need more HRs.  We also could use some better players, too.

This should be a quick delay

Time to check myself out in the mirror and say “welcome to the show!”.
