Wonder who gets called up for Morel when he inevitably gets IL'd.

I never thought I'd see a run of injuries to top 2004 but this season is going to do it.

Theoretically it would be Vazquez and then move Nico back to 2nd. Hopefully he would show that he belongs here and then Madrigal would be shot into the sun when Morel gets back.

I can’t remember a season with this many heartbreaking losses…and it’s may 11th. It’s just weird, it feels like the team actively tries to lose at times. Obviously that’s not really happening, but damn I cannot figure out how we even have the record we have sometimes. 

Frustrating loss for sure.  Some of it is on Steele for letting a bad hitting team tee off on him.

The bullpen is performing garbage.  One of the best SP so far, and one of the worst pens in terms of ERA.    So we're going to have a bunch of come from behind losses and it won't stop until the pen settles down.

The talent in the pen is average at best and performing worse than that.

2004 was gut punch after gut punch
