the lousy pitching against the reds is one thing, with so much of the bullpen hurt and chatwood unavailable, but the offense being this lousy is pretty maddening since there haven't been that many injuries.
if they lose to japan they’re an underdog to even advance. they still have Poland, who’s good, and Senegal, who’s also pretty good. That dude who got red carded is just a massive goat.
while we're ranting, now that gleyber torres is in the major leagues and playing well, it would be especially nice if russell would pull his thumb out of his ass and become a good hitter again.
i liked villanueva and thought he could be a decent starter (solid glove, hit for reasonable average) but i really didn't think he'd hit for much power. maybe like 15-20 homers annually.
can't wait until heyward's 7th year of the contract and i'm still holding out some sliver of hope that he's figured out how to hit better than a backup catcher.
