Defining loss of the season. 

What's that smell . something stinks here...

The sad part is that we probably win this game if Kopech doesn't give up 4 base runners to start the game. This one is on the coaching staff.

Yeah I'm cool with trading Vaughn

You cannot go into next season with Eloy, Vaughn, Grandal, Sheets and Abreu on the roster. You have FIVE 1B/DH. That's terrible.

2 terrible relievers making elite reliever money combined. Just LOL. 

Plus 3 starters that are a crapshoot.

Hard to evaluate any talent with these quacks developing them.

That's fair and I also don't trust Rick Hahn to get fair value for him so basically damned if you do/dont

His value just doesn’t add up.  He’s so damn slow and doesn’t have elite loft.  He’s a double play liability now.  His ceiling is just really low with this version.

Lets not forget with men on 2nd and 3rd and 1 out . TLR could've hit Sheets  for Harrison vs. a RH.

 

Look at the suckers, I mean fans.  One of my greatest accomplishments is just doing enough to make it look like there is a slight plan.  The only plan is to make it rain at home.  

I say this with all due sincerity.

Jim Boylan would be a managerial upgrade over Tony La Russa.

Terry Bevington would be a managerial upgrade over Tony La Russa.

Matt Nagy would be a managerial upgrade over Tony La Russa.

I'm just pissed.. FUCK JERRY, FUCK KENNY, FUCK HAHN, FUCK FUCKING LARUSSA, FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU. FUCK JASON AND STEVE TOO. WHAT A FUCKING JOKE. FUCK THESE OLD FARTS

I also don’t think other teams would give up a ton to get him.  I know you and I want him traded for Jazz, but Marlins would want way more.

They have a ton of people coming off the books after next year.  They may have to eat a lot of money and play young guys next year and hope to contend in 2024.  Fire. Everyone.

What is the purpose of yelling and screaming? The imp isn’t going to change his call

TLR should stick to yelling at clouds.

That would of required a fan yelling instructions to him.

Getting nothing but salary relief for any of them and this organization is not smart enough to make that beneficial.

How in the fuck do you swing first pit h you mother Fucking dip shit. Ate you Fucking kidding me. If Fucking Menechino ain't gone next season Holy Fucking shit

Give him a take sign next time.  I don’t think a take sign is in the TLR playbook.  Must be an unwritten rule.  AlsoVaughn should not be hitting behind Abreu.  Two slow runners hitting back to back, and no chance of a hit and run to avoid double play.

All of y'all planning to get me that Joe Kelly jersey for Christmas can hold up for now.

Luckily it's only his 2nd year and he's improved a lot and maybe next year he'll improve again playing 1st base .

No reason to be trading these guys. They can hit and play multiple positions which gives the manager options. You don’t trade out of frustration

IIRC, he started doing similar stuff last year during this time. It may just be the fatigue from the season. They're called the dog days for a reason.

Also, is it just me or does Vaughn look bigger around the waist compared to last year? His sprint speed is about 14% slower compared to last year.
