I just don't know what to think at this point. They can't seem to ever put it all together. If the starting pitching is good, the hitting is terrible. If they are hitting, the pitching is terrible. And then on top of all of that, randomly throw in spots of awful defense.

Every night it's something. One night the team can't hit, then the starter can't get into the 5th inning, then the bullpen blows, then Buck blows. This team just finds ways to lose ball games.

This. It was the same way last season though the first 53 games.

105.7 the Fan is gonna be exciting tomorrow. If I have to hear that whole "it's early and the AL East is a bad division" excuse one more time, I'm gonna throw up. At SOME point, someone on this ball club needs to be accountable. I am not seeing any improvements OR changes for the positive. How can anyone continue to keep the faith when it seems as though these guys are going through the motions?

Throw in the injuries and this is ONE DISJOINTED team right now. Yea still lots to play but why do I have this BAD feeling that we'll be making excuses for this team into September. :(

I would just like to say this is totally on Buck. Why do you take out Jimenez at 91 pitches in the 7th inning? Makes no sense at all to me. It's not like he has Andrew Miller out there in the bullpen. No matter how good Brach can be at times, he's a box of chacolate, you just never really know what you are going to get. As for Hunter, they could DFA him tomorrow and I'd throw a party.

Just seems like he's leaving guys in that should be taken out (Tillman) then taking guys out that should stay in. I don't get it.

Aside from having four guys in the starting lineup routinely that are not everyday players, this bullpen truly doesn't have one guy before ZB that is anywhere near consistent. I wouldn't protect a single one of them if other teams came calling.

Exactly. And they looked bad through those first 53 games. Ubaldo, Davis, no Wieters and knowing we weren't going to have him. The division was better than it is this year.

      Does anybody know that he is an ex Yankee?

      I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      A buddy of mine made this with his AI. I figured I’d just put this here. 😂   https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.

      A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.

      I'm still trying to figure out how this guy is out of the majors for 7 years and somehow manages to pick up 2 MPH on his fastball, at the age of 34.  But hey, I'm not complaining.   Statcast loves him so far this year.  Statcast thought he was a little unlucky in his last stint in the majors, and unsurprisingly they think he's getting a little lucky now, but even accounting for his good luck he's still in great pitcher territory.

      2 "gutsy" starts in a row.  That's exactly what you want out of veterans to demonstrate to the young guys.
