    I swear this team is allergic to first place. Most frustrating season since 2016. Fire Baker.

    Alex served some chicken tenders on his off day and lost his mojo.

    I think we will be in it til the end of the season.....but, night after night we yank defeat from the jaws of victory. We are not good at home, SP rotation is not good, relievers...Maton ? Oh my. Montero. And we have become a DP machine. Very disappointing. Maybe we can pull this out in the 9th.

    The variance of this team is something. I could see them winning the World Series, or missing the playoffs.

    No matter how the pitching does, the offense can’t come back down 1 run most nights.

    Stanek?

    Why don't you just put in Maldonado pitching?

    Jesus.

    I've missed most of this game tonight but I was afraid this would be a let down series.

    Agree....but it's not a given that your SP has to give up 5 runs every game either.

    Who woulda thunk a harmless foul ball off the old shin would cost us a game.

    Yet here we are.

    Pitchers give up runs. That happens. What cannot happen, is your offense looks lifeless unless they have a lead

    I thought a relief pitcher had to face a minimum 3 batters. Peralta only faced two. does that not apply when an inning ends?

    Again...I hear you but the idea is for your pitching to give up less than their pitching.can look at it from both ends. We are a better road team than home team on top of that.
