    Damn, I missed the first 2 innings.

    What the hell is Kechuel doing having 2 runners on in the first place?

    What i say is the truth, this team is not good enough to be a playoff team, BUT is going the RIGHT DIRECTION. They need to continue and play the young guys and develop them, because this year IS NOT OUR YEAR.

    The lineup is NOT good enough. Simple.

    We have a leadoff hitter that does not LOOK as one. Does not take pitches, does not take walks, and instead of having a OBP closer to .400 is closer to .300, NOT GOOD.

    We have a ROOKIE hitting third, MISTAKE. That is a pressure position to hit. We tried Tucker, Correa, and both struggled. Probably that spot in the lineup is our LOWEST average.

    Carter, below average 1b in the majors.
    Valbuena, besides homerun, NOTHING ELSE.

    Instead of having Santana playing, they have Presley, not good.
    Lets play the young guys.

    WE continue to play Castro a lot, for whatever reason.

    This lineup is NOT good enough, and losing Springer is just a KILLER.

    We only need to focus more in playing over .500, developing they young arms (VV, McCullers and Appel) and the young players. Time to give Feliz a shot, in the bullpen or rotation, but should be in the majors, not at triple a.

    Singleton hits a long drive to the warning tracks, then walks, and what happens?? Gets pinch hit for and did not play next game with a RIGHT HANDED PITCHER.
    Now plays again and what happens???? Walks. Why NOT GIVE HIM A REAL CHANCE??????? Because we have Mattingly on first???? No, is Carter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I prefer to lose with Singleton, Tucker, Correa, Santana, Marisnick playing than with Presley, Carter, Gonzalez playing

    Correa walks on four pitches... Colby comes up next AB and swings are first two pitches out of the zone.

    GAttis swung at ball 3, a weak fly ball to RF. This team CAN'T WIN LIKE THAT.

    THAT PITCHER WAS WILD, AND THIS POOR HITTERS MADE HIM A PITCHER.

    Well, it been like that for a loooooong time

    Do you not think we know that? But you pointing it out in every f***ing post you make is just annoying. If you hate it so much, quit watching. Go do something that makes you happy because this apparently doesn't. Even during the better times, you find crap to b**** about.

    Looks like Jake Odorizzi has decided not to throw strikes in this inning.
