10/2/18 NL WILD CARD Rockies (Freeland) @ CLERBS (Lester) 7:00 CST ESPN

[raw]

How does this happen to a good team so often?

[Andy]

Remember, lack of playoff hitting is literally the exact reason we have Chili. Regular season hitting had horsefeathers all to do with it.

[bcl412]

Battle him or something good god

[gflore34]

This is so ugly. Figure it out, somehow

 

 

A healthy Bryant would help.

[NotSoSober]

hard to understand how this strategy of either striking out or hitting pathetic ground ball isn't resulting in runs.

 

Seriously 12 of the 15 outs have been strikeouts or groundouts

To be fair, Freeland ranks up there amongst the best in terms of soft contact, but yea, the offense is pure horsefeathers

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Our playoff run differential only being -1 isn’t gonna be that bad.

[UMFan83]

All due to a leadoff walk

 

Lol I’m not going to lament how the only run that scored today got on base

I can't tell what this means, but I hope it is tongue in cheek.

[Brian]

Brewers watching this guy and are salivating

[CoolHandLuke]

I'm almost to the point that I want to lose. This is not at all enjoyable and if they advance, none of those games will be enjoyable either.

[Derwood]

It feels like we’re down by seven

[Clem Fandango]

The Cubs are doing that thing where they suck butt. Stop sucking butt.

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

I know we suck and everything, but remember, baseball is dumb and we could still win and go on to win the World Series or something, I don't know.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Brewers watching this guy and are salivating

 

They would rather have us.

[ScrubMD]

Remember how stupid the idea of trading Russell for Machado seemed before the season? lol

[UMFan83]

Something is clearly completely broken with the offense. Not sure if it’s coaching or lack of focus or what. But it’s a bottom 5 offense as it stands right now

[TMan92]

All that three day rest stuff I sent out didn’t take into account a AA offense.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I don’t

[UMFan83]

Do you let Lester use up one of your last 12 outs?

[soccer10k]

I really feel bad for our starters. They've been amazing for a month and a half now and the offense just shits the bed two of every three games.

Give him credit yes but, when it happens over and over, where pitcher X has somehow made the perfect pitch all season - can't always credit "excellent" picthing.

[Brian]

just let him bat

[imb]

after this loss we should grant jon his release so he can play for a contender

[Derwood]

2018 will be remembered as the year that we wasted a million quality starts. At least it feels that way

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

He is one of the better hitters in the game at this point.
