Watching Noda on a team that’s gonna lose 110 regardless is pretty hard and very pointless.

Elko should absolutely be getting these at bats over him

In our favor but again I will never understand the run on contact play.

Yup. Noda should be gone soon. Should be

Teel/Quero DH/C
Vargas 3B
Meidroth SS
Sosa 2B
Elko 1B
Benintendi LF
Robert CF
Tachman/Slater RF
Baldwin INF/OF
I do not care Rest of bench

And just ride with this for the rest of the season to see what you have or until someone is traded, which seems really unlikely right now.

Vaughn and Sheets were better than Noda.

Damn Houser got robbed

Where the f*** was that pitch?! This is horseshit. 

That was bad

Home plate umpiring has been pathetic this year, are there any consequences with these guys.

Nope.

Meidroth expanding the zone a lot more than I'd like to see from him. Really seems to like that pitch low and in.

MAT strikeout rate is crazy

He got aced in that at-bat, but yeah he can't hit.

Looks more like a bottom of the order hitter for a competent offense.  Thankfully his fielding has been more than competent.

4 pitch walk lmao

Another game where this absolutely pathetic lineup gives the pitching no margin for error.

Yup. That's a pretty damn good 3rd piece in a trade. Would like to see him figure out how to hit more for power though, like Kwan did. Even if he doesn't, getting on base and generally being a pain in the ass at the bottom of the lineup is a good thing to have.

Robert has to go and it’s time to bring Lee back up.

Taylor taking his sweet time in the corner. Bum. 

Why was Noda so far off the line with a lefty up. Late in game you have to guard the line.

You knew this was coming. I hoped we were past the absolutely putrid offense, but it's back with the rookies struggling a bit.

Just a terrible roster and coach.  Why do they keep leaving these starters in for so long?

There’s absolutely no power to speak of.  The slugging for the Meideoth/Quero/Teel trio is awful.

It’s simply amazing how many old, washed up players they keep throwing out there.
