What in the horsefeathers

[soccer10k]

Nice TOOTBLAN, Riz.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Is Riz legit the stupidest base runner in MLB?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Rizzo is one dumb mother father

[Andy]

[Cubswin11]

We have a nice spectrum of base runners on this team. Javy, KB and Heyward are elite and other worldly Happ and Willy are good (so is Russell) and Zobrist seems to know his role, then there’s dumb horsefeathers Rizzo and slowass Almora on the way horsefeathers end of spectrum.

[soccer10k]

Good job, Q.

[Andy]

My God Quintana.

 

Pitcher OPS against us this week is off the charts.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

It just seems like we are always behind in the count/walk guys. But numbers could easily prove me wrong.

[UMFan83]

Everything is bad and stupid

Our walk rate is ridiculously bad as a staff. It isn't just you. Good thing we hired a pitching coach specifically not to walk people.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Should’ve challenged the SB at third.

Worst in the league. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2018&month=0&season1=2018&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=9,d

 

I'm sure getting Chatwood back will help though.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

OK. I have to agree with everyone. Q is really average.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Eloy only has 2 dongs in his 8 AAA games

[Cubswin11]

Walks, stop giving them up

I've said this before but we hired a new pitching coach to get our pitchers to walk less people and we've walked more people. We hired a new hitting coach to help our batters improve their situational hitting and we're gotten worse while losing power.

 

At least none of them are known racists?

Eloy is going to have a hard time ever being all that valuable. He literally needs to be a JD Martinez type to be more than a 2ish WAR player. I still do the trade today knowing everything we know right now.

At this point I feel like it's no longer jumping the gun to say that Hickey flat out sucks. We're leading the league in walks by a decent margin, and our rotation which was supposed to be a huge strength is a dumpster fire.

[Banedon]

How did the Dodgers suck so hard to start the season?

I don't know about sucks, he has a solid track record. He either might not fit with this group of pitchers or possibly we haven't given him enough time to get the expected results.

How are they so good with made up players taking up half their roster? Muncy, Taylor, Hernandez, PED Kemp, get the hell out of here

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Rizzo's sitting in the dugout calling Schwarber a [expletive] for not going for 2

Or maybe these coaches have little to no control of things really happening
