And when they start winning, he contests that they'll still blow it. That's exactly how I think we all feel

Yeah. Then when they win, they accept him with open arms. I would have liked to see them smack him really hard (an homage to Dorn clobbering Vaughn in the first one) for his fairweathering, and then celebrate with him.

Of course, I would LOVE to actually be able to attribute this following quote to Sammy and Trebs (not that I want Sammy to have a heart attack...just get pissed like this):

Lou Brown: Come on, you're not going to let her get you down, are you? You guys won last year just to spite her. Maybe, she's what we need.

Jake Taylor: Oh, Skip, they were a different team last year.

Lou Brown: Taylor, it's not your job to make excuses. That's all you guys do good. It's either a *leg* thing or a *spiritual* thing, or a *psychological* thing, or a *heart attack*.

Jake Taylor: Who used heart attack?

Lou Brown: Me. (collapses from a heart attack)

Hahaha I was going to post that too

We need a doubleheader so the team can fight in between games...

Harry Doyle: My God! Good news fans, the Indians are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact they appear to be beating the crap out of each other. It looks like Willie Hayes is trying to hit Rick Vaughn, and why not, everyone else in the league is. Hayes swings and misses. I don't know Monte it looks like Vaughn is carrying his left a little low. This could hurt him in the later rounds.

JR House: Jon Knott and I are the best hitters they got at that place. You haven't been showing up, and you get to keep your job.

Freddie Bynum: Actually I'm being promoted.

:D

That's awsome.

"Strange memories on this nervous night in Detroit. Has it been nine years? ten? It seems like a lifetime, the kind of peak that never comes again. Baltimore in the middle nineties was a very special time and place to be a part of. But no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant."

If we're continuing with the obvious "Major League movie" attributations:

Doyle: And Taylor sends up...Roger Dorn?! Dorn's 0 for the Century against this guy! But he does have several *foul tips.*

For every time Perlozzo sends Bynum up as a PH.

Rachel Phelps: I think he'll fit right in with our team concept.

Charlie Donovan: That reminds me, I was going to ask you. What exactly *is* our team concept?

Anytime the FO signs a player.

Dark Helmet (Sammy):

Who made that man a gunner?

Maj. Asshole (Flanny & Duq):

I did, sir. He's my cousin.

Dark Helmet (Sammy):

Who is he?

Col. Sandurz(Treblehorn):

He's an Asshole, sir.

Dark Helmet(Sammy):

I know that. What's his name?

Col. Sandurz(Trebs):

That is his name, sir. Asshole, Major Asshole.

Dark Helmet:

And his cousin?

Col. Sandurz:

He's an Asshole too, sir. Gunner's Mate, First Class, Philip Asshole.

Dark Helmet:

How many Assholes we got on this (bench) ship, any how?

Everyone:

Yo!

Dark Helmet:

I knew it. I'm surrounded by Assholes.

      Was the offense just in a run of bad luck on this road trip?

      I would add that Mountcastle and Urias were also losses to the offense.  Throw in a couple of slumps to our other regulars, creating 4-5 weak spots in the offense, and that's a lot to overcome.  I don't discount the mental part of hitting, but I do think most of our problems are directly linked to the rash of injuries we've suffered.

      Just my opinion. ZiPS projects him for a .708 OPS next year and I'd bet on the under. I think he's a .230/.295/.395 hitter with a below average glove. A Rio Ruiz type of player.

      We have to keep Irvin "pumped up."  When he's "deflated" he's just no good.  🤣

      There just seems to be some sort of disconnect between upper management, coaching and the players right now. Do I know that for sure? Obviously no. But with the dropoff we've seen in offensive production something is off here. They literally have been mediocre since the All Star break. And the only big loss on the offensive side is Westburg.

      There are no answers, only Zuul. But seriously, I think the issue at play here is we look at the body of work of guys like Eloy, Slater, O'Hearn, Rivera, and (to a lesser extent) Soto, you see where the holes are. I get that O'Hearn was thrust into 1B near FT due to the Mountcastle injury, but that didn't explain Hyde from playing O'Hearn in the OF when he is one of the worst defensive OFers on this team. Right now, this team is very much ailing. Ramon coming back will definitely help spell the need for O'Hearn to be a 1B by maybe letting Rivera play over there.  We need to get back to a point where O'Hearn is only hitting against righties and is playing sparingly in the field. Eloy is a liability at this point. I was a proponent of seeing what mechanical tweaks they could make similar to what they did w/ Hicks (and even O'Hearn!) and they did catch lightning in a bottle maybe due to excitement/adrenaline and BABIP being unsustainably high, but right now his flyballs aren't carrying and his groundballs aren't finding holes, so there's probably a reason why Chicago is saying, "Haha, told you so!" This team is in freefall offensively, at this point...just give the ABs to Mayo. You can't simultaneously say, "He needs to make adjustments!" and then let him have 5 ABs over 5 games. That isn't a way to grow a player. Not everybody can be a part time player and be effective off the bench/sparingly. Kjerstad has shown an ability to hit lefties in the minors as well as in the majors (albeit in very limited time, he his 4 for 10 against them). Let the kid play. Slater has fallen off a cliff, but at least he's a solid defensive OFer I get it, nobody is going to solve the offensive woes of this team when it comes to the rookies/young guys. Mayo, Holliday, Kjerstad, even Cowser...they're all still adjusting. The change needs to come from the main stays. Now, Adley is starting to hit, Gunnar is back on a hitting binge, but this lineup desperately needs some consistent production from Tony to go along with it because right now way too much pressure is being put on the bottom of the lineup and the young guys. And I'm not convinced Westy solves any of those issues as wrist injuries are a beast to bounceback from quickly.

      I get the desire to poo-poo analytics and advanced data, etc.  It does get obnoxious hearing about statcast pages in red when guys aren't hitting well.   But more obnoxious are cries of "the old eye test" and "old school" and the other various "yelling at cloud" types of arguments.  If everyone was stuck with the way things were done back in the day, we'd never progress and never advance in any area of life or society.  That includes how we look at and discuss baseball.

      If the above is true, how do you get a team to deliver timely hits, stop pressing, and quite expecting to lose?
