An endless supply of warning track shots.

When you have a team full of sub-optimal power bats combined with the dead ball situation we have going on in baseball = warning track power.

[Tryptamine]

Walking the guy with the .450ish OPS

[JHBulls]

The good thing about thinking this game was starting at 7.50 pm is that I got to miss the first 3.5 innings. 

[BKHoo]

Another gutsy effort going from a starting pitcher - for the love of anything, can we score some runs?! 

[Derwood]

Pair this rotation with a league average offense and they would be kings of the world. 

[Tryptamine]

Dansby takes one right down the middle

[CubinNY]

Dansby is lost. 

[Tryptamine]

and Tauchman is hurt. What even is this year?

[BKHoo]

Looks like a pulled groin. 

[chibears55]

Davis or Canario

[BKHoo]

Morel moving close to the .190 batting average. 

[JHBulls]

What can somehow save this team is more injuries, not less. 

[DYMNO]

I think I saw earlier that Canario is lighting up AAA pitching at present, but for no rational reason whatsoever, I would love to see Davis get a shot.

Morel once again trying to hit it 475’ instead of starting a 2 out rally with runners on. So sick of him. At this point he isn’t “unlucky” he’s just a bad hitter 

[Stratos]

It was so hot outside today.  The air was thicker than Mike Tauchman's neck.

[CubinNY]

Based on the offseason I figured they would go through stretches where they’d have a hard time scoring. I never expected this.

They should play one of the good hitters sitting on the bench instead.

[Tryptamine]

50/50 shot that's going to just about do it for the night.

Morel could’ve tripled with no outs and he still would’ve been stranded at 3rd.

[KCCub]

Davis finally get his shot? Or go outside the box and make room for Caissie?

They’re all bad but I’m tired of everyone raving over his ability and defending him

Seiya read that ball terribly and cost them a run. No clue why he’s still the main right fielder with Tauchman (now injured) and PCA on the bench

[Tryptamine]

The usual umps hate Seiya called strike.
