Now more digs at Stone never paying for anything despite being worth $20-25 million...probably underestimating.

Can we win this game… please?

Did you see how Sheets just totally surrounded that barely moving ball because he is afraid of any hit ball getting past him.

Or they’re just incredibly overrated.  Grandal has gotten some cheap hits but he looks to have the power of McGuire now.

I actually still believe in the players.  It’s possible Grandal’s lower body is giving out on him, but there is still plenty of talent here.  It’s just a shitty organization from top to bottom, with Hahn & Tony’s incompetence really killing us.  I’ll keep saying it, but fire Rick and replace him with a quality baseball guy at the top and we’re immediately odds-on favorites to win the Central IMO.

I still feel like this team misses Burger’s bat (DH?).  He has tons of flaws, but he single-handedly won this team a few games.  That’s a lot more than I can say for some of these “stars”.

It's impossible to find AB's for him at DH when Eloy, Vaughn, & Grandal all can't regularly play the field. It's a poorly constructed roster so as a result I think he'll get squeezed out of deserved playing time.

Hahn or someone needs to go into the clubhouse and tell these guys that if they don’t start picking it up they will be traded. Something to light a fire under them. 

They already did this with KW…they need to fire Tony and find a hitting coach whose philosophy isn’t “fuck the HR”.

The manager is dead, the bench coach is dead, the hitting coach is dead on arrival, so there is no leadership or accountability.  Nothing will change with TLR and his team in charge. Same old, same old.

We have a bench coach?

Agreed

Maybe he's like Jack Benny where it's his sticht.  In real life, apparently there was not a more generous man than Benny.

For a second I thought you wanted Hahn to fire me

True. I’m just frustrated with this season, these players, and how there was no urgency at all on Day 1.

TLR has not shown any sense of urgency this whole season.  More worried about resting key players and playing scrubs like Leury than going all out to win games.  TLR has been setting the no sense of urgency tone.

Score. Runs…. Lots and lots of runs.

It’s not a good look when two of the clubhouse leaders admit they were overconfident 

Lance's stuff has been pretty good tonight but ultimately 3 R in 5 IP against the A's isn't good enough.

Shouldn’t be an automatic loss, but these guys feel like they’ve given up.

They better get a run this inning and shift some momentum back our way.

Maybe they want to be traded, they know this is one screwed up organization.

I think he may be living in Egypt now for all we know.

Not getting at least 1 run 2nd time through against a pitcher this bad would be inexcusable.

Massive hanger and be pounds it into the ground.  Perfect example of why he’s been a flop.

10 up 10 down since the first

That is not conducive towards scoring runs Eloy. Score. Runs.
