I'm sure Ohtani is looking at this train wreck and thinking, "YES, this is where I want to be!!!"

Wishful thinking but I do feel this offseason will be much better as far as adding talent to both the lineup and pitching.

I personally don't think Ohtani will be a part of who they bring in, and a part of me is ok with that as long as they spend that money towards a couple of top notch talent via trading for someone that solid or FA.

So with a loss today and a Reds win the Cubs are out of a playoff spot right? Another must win game. 

I think it fair to say that these last 12-13 games are basically all must wins now with 5 teams fighting for 2 spots.

Situational hitting.

He already cleaned out his locker. He’s a foot and a half out the door. I’m sure he’s already contemplating his future. 

I don't think he returning to the Angels, and he probably has a team or two that on his wish list.. But, itll likely come down to who offers him the yrs and money, location ( if he prefers to stay west or not), and if he wants to be with a team that already built to win now.

I personally think he'll stay out west or Texas/Houston if they make him a solid offer.

Add it to the list for him.

[abuck1220]

it is so so so hard to play worse than Swanson has in the last 24 hours. he has been like “is he throwing games?” bad. horsefeathers unbelievable. 

[s2obed]

Awful by Swanson. Must’ve not realized who was running.

[abuck1220]

SURE DO WISH WE HAD A GREAT DEFENSIVE CF TO PLAY

[Nolansomebody]

Just tuned into ESPN. 

Great start!

[Andy]

Smart play by Tauchman. Essentially turns that into a sac fly.

Unfortunately we now have to score twice to win, so good luck with that

[s2obed]

I don’t care that he got him at 3rd. Need PCA out there. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Gonna let this one get out of hand in the first inning are we?

[Andy]

And now we have to score at least 3 times and probably more, so it's safe to say this is over.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Who is even available for long relief tonight?

better than being tortured for five hours like last night. if they’re not gonna make the playoffs, might as well finish on a 2-15 run to increase the odds ross gets fired.

Boxberger and Little didn’t pitch last night. 

[abuck1220]

I thought that was 27 rows deep 

[s2obed]

Sounded loud off Wisdom’s bat. Thought that was way gone.
