Maybe we can spot every team 2 runs, and agree to only play the 9th... that would be entertaining (and would save a helluva lot of time).
Jeezus, Burke, get your head out of your ass. On 3rd < 2 outs. Fly ball. Dumb**** goes about 10 feet off the bag & watches for a bit. Has to run back to the bag & then tag up. ****ing horrible.
Milwaukee is going to wipe the floor with us. Also, my "LLL" prediction was spot on in this thread. I WIN!
I think an early "back to the wall homestand" is exactly what the doc ordered....we will sweep...and we dont have to look at Sheets
They definitely need to get home. What was it, 7 cities, 16 games in 17 days? 10 games without an offday? Brutal road trip. It's not the lack of offense that bothers me so much, it's the ****ty, ****ty fundamentals & the sloppy play. Slumps happen, but there's no excuses for that.
It's impossible to not have the overall team batting as a significant source of frustration these days. Hell, the sloppy play doesn't bother me, it's waiting until the 8th 9th inning, when half the time, theres too much pressure to successfully build any rally.
Will be interesting. I was ready to bet my life savings they were going to hire in-house but instead surprised everyone. Tomlin's young, fearless and looks hungry...worth a shot Apparently Alan Faneca wants out, though. Needless to say, I reaaaalllllyyyyy hope this is not true.
But sloppy fundamentals are the main contributor to the "waiting until the 8th and 9th inning." Not giving tallies to the other team, knowing where to be on the basepath, making contact in certain situations, hitting behind the runner, etc.
