    The curse of 14 games over .500 is real.

    Carter maintains 2015 form.

    A team that is trying to win the division cannot EVER play someone as bad as Carter. It is becoming absurd.

    Conger/Carter/Marisnick is basically begging for three outs.

    Right now Carter would not help the triple a team in the playoffs

    It is beyond awful the team is so committed to keeping him. Reed/White could be such a massive improvement over Carter, but the team continues to hold out some hope that Carter doesn't suck.

    The lineup that Hinch rolled out there today is almost as if he's conceding the game and accepting defeat. Hoping they can scratch some runs but this has got to be the worse lineup of the season.

    This ump is pretty consistently calling balls low and inside as strikes, so if McCullers can tend towards that part of the zone then he'll get a lot of called strikes and and some weak ground balls.

    I don't think they're holding out any hope that he'll turn it around, it's obvious they have other motivations. Our FO isnt stupid. But it make it any more palattable knowing you have reed and white in the farm system.

    Conger, jake, Carter, lowrie, Castro, and LV. I almost expect an out each time they're at the plate

    Honestly at this point whatever motivation they have cannot possibly outweigh the benefit of not having to play him. He is that bad.
