Fletcher’s swing that at bat illustrates so many of the issues this team has. RISP, up 2-0 in the count, and he chases a low slider.

I'd like to ask our hitting coaches, at every level, if they are teaching the concept of cutting the zone in  half or whatever when you're ahead in the count. Robert apparently was working on that sort of concept in his offseason, with his coaches.

RUN BENI YOU DUMB f***. WOW. He thought that was gone I bet.

I can't fucking stand him. He's the embodiment of everything wrong with this fucking franchise. Overpaid BUM.

It doesn’t even look like Benintendi tries in the OF. Just brutal

Nice showing by Cannon.

Pretty much the guy we've seen pitch in the minors. Going to throw strikes, induce contact, and doesn't miss an excessive amount of bats. Could be a pretty decent back-end guy.

That's why we liked him so much in the draft.  Gotta love those durable big bodied strike throwers.

Rick Hahn was really really really bad at his job.

Maldonado should just not take a mitt to the plate, he doesn't seem to be able to use one, anyways.

This team with Crochet/Nastrini/Cannon in the rotation gives reason to watch the pitching side at least. It's quite unfortunate the position players are so putrid. Other than Montgomery (who I would like to see earn the promotion) there's not much imminent on the horizon.

Also, lets not lose sight of the fact that they still have 3 hits TOTAL.

Wilson has been incredible. He’s going to fetch a very nice prospect in a few months if he keeps this up.

Benintendi may be the most 'blah' outfielder I've seen in a while. Nothing looks easy, nothing looks like he's putting actual effort in, nothing looks like he is paying attention at all.

Love the diabetes pharmaceutical commercial directly after pumping the campfire milkshake. 

Raise your hand if you had Paul DeJong as the team HR leader on April 17th?

He’s actually been solid.799 OPS. If the rest of the lineup was doing anything close to that this team would be decent.

We??.. Yep, he slipped up. Now im pretty sure you are Chris Getz.

Tha f*** Maldonado looking for?

Of all the things I expected/didn't expect from Grifol this year, bringing back the 2 inning save was not on the list. 

Professional baseball player

Maldonado is a train wreck.

Seriously though, how long can you trot out Maldonado on a MLB roster, even one as bad as this one?

Maldonado is washed up
