A real right fielder catches that easily

.180 xBA

Will there be another tie and lead before I get back to my hotel?

Watching Gavin in right is what you would think it looks like.  A hulking slow 1st baseman jogging to baseballs

Rick Hahns crown jewel

 

TLR has got to go after this series if they have any plan to salvage the season.

 

bringing in foster in this situation was absolutely fucking stupid.

Never seen a team 2 years running suck so bad in the 8th inning, it’s been well over 45 times they just implode!

Nice range Sheets...fuck this team.  Every decision they’ve made is wrong

It’s the 8th inning and no defensive replacement for him….makes zero sense especially with the bottom of the order up

notice how the Twins are hitting everything in the air? Hmm....

0-6 vs the Twins 

I really hope the Tigers come in and put the nail in the coffin. Finishing 4th in the worst division in baseball is very fitting 

nail in the coffin? this team has been playing 6ft under for the last 3 months 

thats it, im moving on, this season sucks, TLR sucks, Hahn Sucks, our 50 million dollar bullpen sucks.

it's because of the warmer weather.

Just get it to the outfield against the Sox and magic happens…

Buxton has not hit into a DP since 2020, hits it in air!

Oh well.  Seriously does anyone care anymore? Isn't worth it.

but i have to watch TLR talking about not trying to hit home runs.

Dude is so out of touch.

foster 6 era last year

 

5.20 era this year

 

clearly a guy to bring in when you have a must win game to avoid the sweep with the game tied.

Sox have really held this lead. 

Trade all of them…the front office, the coaching staff, and most of the players for some buckets of cracker jacks.

Where is Leury hitting the grounder to this inning?

Matt Foster....YOU SUCK

That is all I've got

Tony has to managing strategies - hope you get lucky or lose on purpose.

Tbh im enjoying the hell out of rooting for more loses and watching the team find justification to keep tlr, hahn and co. 

So lets go over the last 2 years of "contention".

 

Year 1.  We sneak into the playoffs as the last overall seed.  This is based on playing your division pretty much only and beating up on bad teams.   Anytime we played anyone over 500 it didn't go well.  We decide that this is success and then go to the following year.

Year 2.  Our big move is trading Madrigal for Kimbrel because that fixed our 2b/RF problem.  We feast on a bad division and Minny being out of it.  We don't exactly do well against teams above 500.  We get into the playoffs and get exploited pretty quickly.  We have injuries to Eloy and keep trotting him out to LF.  Robert is out for a good amount of the season.  

Year 3.  We decide to load up on relievers.  We trade away Kimbrel for an often broken outfielder.  Minnesota is not bad this year like last year.  Both Minny and Clevland work over the sox in the division negating their only advantage to get to a playoff spot.  Good teams work the sox over just like before.  

Great rebuild strategy.  Hope the AL Central sucks and then maybe magic happens in the playoffs.
