    Maldy cost us that game. We shoulda won 1-0 but Maldy went ole on the Abreu pitch. Didn’t even move to block it,

    Stanek should never be put in those situations. And if Maldy can’t bring his defense he has no business being on this team. We were far too compliant this off season

    100% on Maldy and Dusty

    Brown built the roster so Dusty could pinch hit for Maldy in situations like the top of the inning. He didn't, and Maldy kept letting balls go by him in the bottom

    It's a looooong season and we are extremely talented. Anyone who thinks we are just gonna sleep walk into another division title isn't thinking straight though

    Stanek showing why Dusty wouldn't go to him in the playoffs despite his impressive regular season ERA. He often seemed on the verge of implosion but would escape. No such luck this year.

    I read somewhere in the off season that Stanek was do to regress.

    Maldy having real issues.

    Game not on Stanek or Maldy. 15 strikeouts you don’t deserve to win.

    Maldy was having issues all game. Why did Dusty not pinch hit for him and bring in Yanier or Salazar there? He's so old-school he rather take the let them play through it approach but then it's too late...

    15 strikeouts. That’s the bigger issue.

    Gotta start pinch hitting for Maldy in close and late situations. We have 3 catchers. There is zero excuse for not doing it today.
