This team looks so bad.  No discipline, horrendous bullpen, terrible situational hitting.

Hahn should have been fired when they missed out on Machado. Unfortunately you have an incoherent owner who doesn’t give a damn about winning 

JR was happy he got lots of free media attention and yet didn't have to spend any money other than marketing clip art presentation Jon Jay and Yonder Alonso.

I won’t give JR another dime as long as Hahn/KW still stealing paychecks 

This is the answer I've been preaching the last 3 years on this forum. People gotta stop giving them their money.

Instead I get the most ridiculous excuses for why that won't work. It will work, it works in literally every single industry. Don't let people gaslight you into believing nonsense. If they lose money, shareholders and investors will demand change, period.

At some point you'd think KW would step up but I guess neither he or JR care anymore. 

I'll state again Grifol is really bad at this. 

Rumors are he’s close to retiring 

Man, this could be a massive sell off at the deadline. Lynn, Giolito, Clevinger, and Anderson all have value on relatively short contracts. It’s gonna be at least a mini-rebuild.

Hasn't he said this will be his last contract?

AV power is non existent 

Hahn spent a billion dollars on our bullpen and it still sucks a fat you know what.  How he still has a job is beyond me.

Under 20000 attendance on a beautiful night is going to be pretty telling. 

I know I know the Bulls' excuse this time. 

We shall see Sat and Sun. 

 

I'm just glad we're able to give 'on the job' training to an aspiring manager, whilst also supposedly having the most competitive team we'll have anytime in the near past and future.

It’s the same team from last year, but Abreu was better than Benintendi.  This core has been a massive flop and Hahn has made some horrific acquisitions.

Hendriks

What good does it do, to show a 162 game average for Eloy, when he will NEVER play 162 games?

Staff worked on nothing new in spring training nothing has changed

Eloy probably ruptured a testicle

You working in NY ? You're the only one in the thread who thinks he saw his toe hit the base at some point. Stone and Benneti didn't see it either.

I mean it was pretty obvious on the replay where the ump is kind of in the way. You could clearly see a little slip as he moves off it. Either way, professionals reviewed it, I’ll take their word over some meatballs in a game thread.

With Hahn the puppet master ugh

How come when our pitchers are at 3 balls they are in trouble and when our hitters are at 3 balls they look like they are in trouble?

The talent drain in this organization over the last 3 years is staggering. Such is life with a cheap owner and an org that can't develop players.

He'll get there in half a decade 

Why would they not trade Reynaldo Graveman and Bummer if they're totally out of it? 

They will extend Reynaldo? 

That ight be the only thing Hahn has left to sell.... since it won't be Cease Kopech or TA7.

And the minors are a disaster right now unfortunately (due to injuries)
