    Right? Who got to him and said move away from it? It’s odd unless it’s an arm thing?

    This offense makes everyone look like Nolan Ryan out there with everyone flirting with 1 hitters.

    Runner was halfway to 2B as Lance was releasing the baseball.

    You can't blame that s**t on Diaz

    correa and Alvarez seem to be the only hitters capable of hitting opposite way

    In case anyone was wondering about our stolen base deficit this season:

    Stolen bases for: 0.49 (30th) 66
    Stolen bases against: 1.02 (31st) 139

    Yeah it's as bad as you thought it was.

    You simply can't be at the bottom of BOTH metrics. That's not a thing.

    I guess I'm just hoping he snaps out of this slump.
    It does make him seem better suited as a 1 or 2 hitter to not have a runner on first for his dp special.

    I can't imagine soriano out pitched brown tonight.
    It has to be on the offense.

    Walker couldn't hit that curve ball with a paddle.

    146 K’s for Walker.

    This is brutal. 3 runs in 24 innings in this series.

    If McCullers does ok here, Joe will throw him right back in the rotation

    And that was by the 2nd batter of the game. 21 straight outs without another hit (so far).
