    Who is the last position player prospect that has come up and stuck with the mlb club? Springer? This should be a lesson to the front office to stop overrating their prospects, especially the position players and open up that pocket book in the off season.

    I don't have or know the mindset of a professional athlete (obviously) but I want to say I'd be showing a lot of shame and embarrassment the way my ABs happen if I were Reed, Gomez, Tucker, Bregman. But you hardly ever see it, no matter the endless 0-4s with 2 or 3 strike outs.

    This lineup is a ****ing joke. Too many clowns to count.

    To be fair, we've held the team that has scored the 2nd most runs in the AL to 3 4 runs through 3 games. TOR has allowed the 3rd fewest runs in the AL...and yeah, we're obviously not doing much to screw with that side of things.

    Not hitting our stride, true, but have split the first 2 and aren't done yet.

    Its not that they are not getting hits, but it doesn't even look like they can get hits. The swings are so bad.

    When the highest average hitter in your outfield is Jake Marisnick, you have issues

    Hey look an AJ strikeout. I'm actually baffled at how terrible our top hitting prospects have been.

    Not particularly concerned about who is and isn't "showing shame and embarrassment" on the field. I'm fairly certain they're not proud of their hitting. And I'm quite alright with everyone having different outlets for their emotions

    Let's just assume that's game. And the rangers are down in the 9th yet again. Precious opportunities to make some ground on them before the series.

    Even though the 3 "studs" are still playing ok

    Their body language is not good

    I think the "message" of selling Feldman and not adding anything wasnt a good one

    Hope I'm wrong, but looks like our mojo is completely gone

    Bats are in a major slump. Gonna have to ride it out and hope they don't lose too much ground in the playoff race

    We are literally just letting go of any playoff hopes. This team is playing AA ball.
