Maybe TLR just saved a bunch of money on his car insurance by switching to Geico and he’s content now with how things are going with the team.

Has to be hard finding an insurer willing to take on Tony La Russa.

Yeah I don't get it, because it almost always looks amazing

I love our organizational hitting approach!

Lack of juiced ball has made going to center and opposite way not a great strategy

What's incredible is Hahn couldn't even scrounge up a guy like Michael A. Taylor to replace Engel all these years.

Not even a lefty or much of a threat on offense, but still a better player.

Why delay the inevitable? Rip the band-aid off quickly.

How could they not get someone like Naquin at the deadline?  On what planet did they think this current roster was enough to compete.

HoFer discount program.

WTP and not seeing many pitches. Great approach!

We are driving ourselves crazy thinking this team is anything other than what it really is. A .500 team. They can't go on any kind of winning streak because they don't do anything consistently well enough.

They will end up in 3rd place about 6-8 games out of first.

Thank goodness College Football is only 18 days away.

When you have nothing anyone else wants? Or you're so desperate other teams demand a premium.

The Seby shine is tarnishing...

Jerry likely told Hahn "I gave you $200M, this was the maximum, and you spent it."

Can't blame Jerry in this instance. It's like giving a drug addict more money.

 

They're gonna let Singer throw the whole game aren't they? Not real good when you're playing a 2nd game today.

There were three guys in that tier.

Another was Gamel.  Who was the other??

Drury was over 800 against RHP and can play 5-6 different positions.

But no we had Leury.

And everyone in baseball can see all the problems with Moncada and Grandal.

This team is so broken.

TLR and RH thought they had enough to win a crappy Division. They don't.

Yep. We'll never know the deals they turned down. 

This team refuses to work a walk

This was the most predictable thing in the world.

Like an Engel hot streak dissipating.

 

Singer just announced as the starter for Game 2 as well, lol.

 

How many balls have we hit to the warning track?
