    Yet y'all want to pay him some crazy contract this off season. This is who he's been pretty much his entire career, 5 1/3 or 5 2,/3, 3 ER. Lather, rinse, repeat.

    Just be happy it's miraculously worked out and given us a chance to win one of the worst divisions in a very long time.

    I haven't said a single word about signing him next year.

    Which was my question above. How many of those 1 or 2 run loses could've been avoided by not hitting into a DP? I'm mean he's telling us they're damn near the absolute worse in MLB so whose fault is that.....

    Yousei for the 7th. Abreu for the 8th.

    Right? We have Garcia and who knows "possibly" LMJ coming back. Add Valdez, Spencer, Brown and Blanco.....

    It certainly doesn't help. But it's not a huge factor.

    Poor base running.
    Terrible defense, and I'm not just regarding errors.
    Atrocious late game clutch hitting.
    Inability to play small ball (see extra inning games).

    A lot of fundamentals are missing from this team, much worse than we ever witnessed with Dusty, who was an inadequate manager.

    I will say it again even though you won’t listen because you are hard headed as ****…

    We were 1-8 in extra inning games last year.

    Peña's next ball that leaves the infield will be his first since July.

    I’m guessing Diaz at 1B, Victor behind the plate vs lefties in the playoffs? I mean it does extend the line up a bit

    What’s that sound? It’s the noise the backspace just made when @Yordan The Great deleted that comment you know he had queued up about how Espada is an idiot for sending Kikuchi back out had he given up the lead there.

    1. Base running was terrible under Dusty too.
    2. Small ball was non existent under Dusty too.
    3. We sucked in extra innings because of # 2 under Dusty too

    I'll repeat, you shake his hand and thank him for his service.

    Just like you were supposed to do with Hunter Brown. But I digress.
