    Not this month. You need to get current with your displeasures.

    This is starting to feel a little different to me. The team just cannot seem to put together a complete game for a long time now. One segment of the team seems to perform at disaster level every game. Not a little shaky…full on game killing catastrophe. They are taking turns blowing games. It’s the offense a lot, the starting pitching occasionally, the bullpen seemingly every game now, the defense for a few weeks. and then the few times those areas have clicked lately, Pressly has been shaky. It’s like we’re regressing to the mean after a postseason of near perfect pitching and fielding last year.

    The magic from last season is being averaged out by horror this season, it seems. Haha

    And then you have Dusty the Clown doing dumb stuff to compound every issue.

    Hopefully Dana was being truthful and Brantley is actually nearing return. They need some new blood out there, on top of Yordan.

    Angels up 23-0 on the Rockies. They'll jump back ahead of us again.

    Thunderdome. 2 "men" enter, 1 man leaves. You get 6 baseballs and 4 wooden bats. Use them however you choose.

    We've already had games like this.

    We're just not as good as past seasons.

    Yeah we have. At some point they need to get tired of the BS and respond like champs.

    I’m fairly confident that my older brother can kick all your asses.

    Absolutely none of those a million balls B. Abreu's threw were even competitive. Sooo easy for the Dodgers to lay off those. They had the drivers seat watching him implode. Bailed them out hardcore.

    Game was lost when Abreu pitched like he was junk. Unfortunately this team is just pedestrian this year. 8 back in the loss column to the Rangers. Even sweeping them only trims four off that. They usually have it going by now but with all the injuries and the outstanding GM job Crane did we are cooked.

    Again...that's just not true. He's been vastly superior in June that he was the 1st 2 months.

    Has he been "great", hell no, but let's at least be honest and factual about stuff.

    This. All of this.

    It’s the bullpen. It’s the bats. It’s a SP going 4 innings. It’s the defense.

    What would you say this team does well right now or on a consistent basis?

    I mean, besides setting your clock to them doing jack **** after scoring 10+ runs. That, you most certainly can count on.

    It’s no longer “early”.

    There’s no such thing as “just wait til everyone gets healthy”.

    he has really cooled off again. Hence the “reset”. He was literally hot for a week. Maybe 10 days.
