Must win game.  No fucking excuses, get the W today or fall to an embarrassing .333 winning percentage.  I want to see good offense, defense, pitching, & coaching all in a single game and that game better be today.

Let’s fucking go!

Really need to finish this home stand strong 

I was at the game and didn’t see a reply, but his last AB Eloy looked like he hurt himself again. Did a foul a ball off his nut bag?

Looks like pretty much the exact same lineup as yesterday...

Grandal catching a day game after a night game.  Jimenez future kids seemingly intact.  Sosa back out there. 

Has to be Zavala tmrw @ catcher. 

Why is Grandal playing and batting 5th?  Why not Colas?  Grandal should bat 8th with Elvis 9th.  I think Seby should play at least 50% of time, why not? 

Burger homered off if a RHP last night.

Grifol may be a great guy but he's a horrible manager.

I already have Grandal fatigue two weeks into the season.

Surviving this stretch would be winning 4 out of the next 5, and then 4-6 vs TB and Toronto. 8-7 the next 15 before hopefully beating up the Twins, Reds, and Royals. 

If the next 15 is 5-10, nobody is watching this team in May. 

Booo this organization 

Is Diekman available?

That’s exactly what happened. Scared me when I saw him hobbling and holding his “leg,” but the replay showed a foul ball bounced back up straight into his sack.

Gave my 5yr old son a good laugh, at least.

I totally agree with you Colas would be a better fit at 5th and be more  protected so he could see better pitches. 

Seby should be playing more period! He is a superior defensive catcher over Grandal and I think he is a better hitter than Grandal.

Maybe Grifol will improve his managing skills and make better lineups and bullpen decisions down the road, but for right now, he is a horrible manager. 

I agree Seby should be getting the majority of time at C. I liked Andrus but his ABs suck. Rather see Romy. Want no part of lenyn. Another terrible player who swings long and crazy

I assumed he would be the opener then renter to f*** up the 7th.

I’m sure they’ll find a new and interesting way to piss this game away. 

BRING BACK LARUSSA!

My memory sucks but didn't we go on a long losing streak last year at this time?

 

Gibson 3-0 for Baltimore so far... 

Tigers looking like 4-10 already so no last place happening today lol. 

Unless SFG blows an 6-1early lead.

Yes yes he did but he’s in the lineup today. Not sure it had much affect as this team doesn’t seem to have much manhood left. Embarrassing performance after embarrassing performance

Did you watch recently? 

Romy has been abysmal. 

Sosa took one of the 3-5 best relievers in baseball deep to the opposite field and has looked at least smooth/solid defensively. 

 

Romy is hopeless against RHP. 

0-2 pitch lol. 

95 mph is cannon fodder now. 

Kopech needs more changeups and to junk the curveball to make sure that slider is much more consistent. 

Easier said than done. 

13 walks for Rutschman in 15 games. 

4.14 pitches per plate appearance... now MLB 1st from twenty something in majors last year. 

 

 

Santander 3/33 since WBC and Opening Series.  Chasing above strike zone.  20 ks and 5 bb.

This. Romy is nothing more than AAAA player at best. 

3/34 lol.  Wipeout slider.

IIRC there was a road series in Cleveland when the wheels just fell off.
