Becoming more and more clear.  It's a .500 team with no power and no ability to work a good OBP.  Nice collection of redundant pieces. 

.500 might be optimistic with the astronomical number of home runs and walks they give up.

This team screams 5 under .500 to right at .500 all year

I would rather they make it obvious what needs to happen at the deadline than being a .500 team

Hanging slider….no damage.  Junis has gotten so lucky

Why not put Colas in this game for Robert?  Give him some innings off and Colas needed ABs? 

Starting to regret ordering MLB extra innings!

Man, turned the game off, and its only game 7. Rough

Lot of hanging pitches going nowhere with our hitters today. 

Now Colas is in the game......Im not sure the baseball IQ of an organization could be realistically lower.

How’s it possible to hit that last slider to Sheets right into the ground?

I was one to quickly claim Kopech's career is over.  My sense with Kopech is that he as no idea how to approach a hitter.  His FB was so dominant his entire life he's never had to learn.  Now his FB is pedestrian, his breaking ball command suspect, and change up command still a work in progress.  Now he's trying to learn how to pitch at the big league level and I don't suspect it will go very well. 

Lance on the other hand is just fat and old. 

Lance is a fine pitching machine NOV their minor league depth.

Tony was so bad, his replacement should have had the easiest job ever to look competent.  Should is the key word.

Yea at this point I agree. There needs to be no doubt as far as what has to happen. The problem is with RH and JR making the decisions they will all be wrong. 

I thought things were going to be different under Grifol? These dudes aren't ready to play and aren't being put in a position to succeed.

The organization’s obsession with the Royals Way is so strange 

If you're going to bring in Colas now, should have PH hit him for Alberto with the bases juiced when this was still a game within reach.

In regard to Reinsdorf selling.  75% of value is gone when he dies if he sells.  No sale until he's dead.

Are you suggesting they start trading everyone away at the deadline and go back into another tank mode? 

This is White Sux baseball right here.

Especially once you hit sheets for burger.  Tells me he thinks more of Hanser than the shitty bench player he is.

Just for discussion, if they’re out of it at the deadline, the following need to be available:

Timmy, Giolito, Hendricks, Bummer, Lynn, Kelly, Andrus, Grandal, Diekman, Graveman

I wonder if there will ever be a time when a fan forum manages a team by collective decision making.

Should have pulled the trigger on trading for Gleyber Torres!

Just Andrus looking awful??

Hanser is Pedro's Luery Garcia. Pedro loves the guy. Don't be suprised if Hanser gets a nice three year contract during the offseason.

Like when Twitch played Pokemon?

More likely that AI will do it.
