Lineouts R Us

I'm getting really sick of hearing Ron and Pat talk about how good the opposing pitcher is pitching every game. After like 3 months of this putrid [expletive] of an offense, you can't just keep tipping your cap.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Bitching about the lack of hitting is pointless to me now. I've come to accept the fact that this team will not hit. Unless they get another Lester like performance from yesterday, they're probably not going to win.

Except everyone is underperforming and it's feasible the gears could snap back into the place at any time.

How long has this been said now?

 

I know it was two weeks ago that I was discussing this with David and telling him the offense is what it is for this season.

 

He didn't agree, and he still might not, but I think the statement will hold true.

[DiamondMind]

are we ever going to score again

[sontensei]

its funny even when jake doesnt have his best stuff and only gives up 2 or 3 runs people say he has nothing in the tank lol

[DiamondMind]

easy money: play whoevers pitching against us on draft kings

[Ski]

This team is hot garbage.

[Schwarber Fan]

What a joke.

[sontensei]

a slump can last a couple weeks, a funk maybe a month?

 

What if the this is really what the prospects / kids are?

[Agony and Ivy]

Man I'm resisting the urge to go full meatball on these guys. 1 hit against Jimmy [expletive] Nelson?

[sontensei]

l m a o @ full meatball WELCOME TO MY WORLD YOU ARE SLOWLY SUCCUMBING TO THE DARK SIDE BROTHA

I'm pretty sure it is.

 

Now can you please stop watching again for six years?

[DiamondMind]

[expletive] MASH ONE SOLER, DO IT

[UMFan83]

At least Rizzo is back

[Derwood]

Rizzo looking better

I think that's where the worrying goes too far. You have to be a bit patient. And I'm not talking about for a month or two. These guys will blossom over the course of a few seasons. You can see the talent is there. They are learning on the job.

[Derwood]

Damn, Soler

[DiamondMind]

my back hurts from carrying starlin

[UMFan83]

Nice try Castro. Maddon outsmarted you though!

[UMFan83]

It's alright guys, David Ross has got this!

 

And if he doesn't we have Soriano coming in to hold it where it is so our boys can get another crack in the 8th

[Andy]

If Castro is so [expletive] useless that Maddon has to hit and run with him up every single time to avoid a DP (which doesn't even always work), why are we playing him?

[Agony and Ivy]

If we have to start the runner on first literally every time Castro is up I think it's time he stops getting major league at bats.

[Agony and Ivy]

I'm sure Rafael Soriano will keep the score riiiiiiight where it is

[UMFan83]

If Castro is so [expletive] useless that Maddon has to hit and run with him up every single time to avoid a DP (which doesn't even always work), why are we playing him?

 

definitely his defense and concentration, as well as good behavior off the field.

[Schwarber Fan]

Our hitters have the worst pitch recognition.
