    Once again, I have to say--I will be sorely disappointed if Gattis is still our DH next season

    6 double plays in one f-ing game. The approach that Gattis just had was absolutely pathetic.

    This is going to be a tough save opportunity.

    GIDP: 6 (franchise record): González 2; Gurriel; Bregman; Reddick; Gattis

    We wasted that leadoff double like a great SP effort

    Did I just watch a replay? Nope just another d.p. to break a franchise record. Hopefully it doesn't come back to haunt them.

    Gotta trade for Smoak to replace Gattis. Another lefty (well, actually switch hitting) option.
    And yeah, I made that post just before the GIDP happened, I just had a bad feeling the moment Reddick took ball 4, and I was right. If Gurriel was safe in the 4th, Reddick's homer (13, matching last year's total) would have been 2-run instead of a solo shot. Hopefully that won't matter.

    Even Gattis who is obviously a heavy flyball hitter grounds into them.

    It’s just piss poor execution. Taking the pitchers double play bait every time.

    We can only hope the depth of the problem today inspires a changed approach.

    This team is so far behind the Sox, Indians & A’s at this point. Brutal job of manufacturing runs.

    Why can’t tyler white be our DH? If we are healthy he can replace Gattis and Gattis merely a bench guy.

    I think White has earned the opportunity: he’s fun to watch. And he won’t cost you anything.

    Cano didn't have enough PEDs in him for that to go over.
