    On pace to win 97 games

    If that’s who we are, I’m ok

    Gattis will be .050 in no time.

    Did someone actually believe that Gattis would get a hit there? Why was he even allowed to get an AB

    Gattis has never hit while solely being a DH. Needs to get back behind the plate some or we need to move on

    Because they did call it immediately. Assholes that they are.

    1-0 pitch to Gattis should have been clubbed.

    No excuses can be made for this offense at this point. It's just flat out not good enough. Other than the occasional blowout against bad pitching this offense can't be expected to do much. Frustrating.

    Our on-pace win total for the year keeps decreasing

    Watch Springers arms on that replay of that swing. He put a whole lot of extra movement in it. That's bad Springer.

    Hell, that's bad anybody.

    Gattis has just flat lost whatever he had which was not much. WHY do we keep giving him at bats?!?!?

    Lol, if you have a 5 game attention span yes, before that we won 10 of 13

    So actually over our last 18 games our pace would be 99 wins

    If you stress over every 5 game span, baseball will frustrate you beyond belief

    Go and look at his entire career, has never hit when playing solely as a DH. It’s different when you aren’t involved. Some can do it, some can’t. Was stupid to put him back at DH and expect good results. Surprising that this data based organization didn’t see that

    Evan Gattis should write a book co-authored by Tony Sipp

    How to steal millions of dollars legally

    Speaking of "on-pace win total", I wonder how our SOS fairs between the remaining schedule and games already played. We haven't faced Boston yet, and have played the dregs of each AL division already.
