Nice to have you back around, even if the losing followed you. 

Thanks Brother.  Work has been horrendous the past couple years, and still is, but I try to get on here a little bit every couple days to see my old pals.

Soooooooooooooooooooo, what's the over/under on the rest of the homestand?

Look at that!  I mean, really look at it!  And we wonder why we're terrible?  

I don't wonder take 4 guys out of any lineup and you can't have a good lineup.  Schoop has been out most of the year, Trumbo the entire year, Joseph has looked like the guy that had no RBI two years ago not the same guy from last year.  Mancini missed a few games, Beckham is out now and and may have been bothered more then he led onto.  We have one guy that is carrying the offense and even the guys that are healthy have been off to a slow start.  We have some depth at catcher and outfield but didn't have much at all if the infield went down and those are the younger guys that usually play most of the games.

Schoop hasn’t been our most of the year, he’s missed the last 9 games.    Unfortunately he wasn’t hitting well in the 14 games he played.

That is a line up only a mother could love

[Natty]

Jace gets a hit in his first game and goes from 9th to 2nd for his second game. LOL.

Strange Joseph is catching with a RHP for the Tigers starting. Maybe they figure with Tillman pitching there is no chance for the home team to win the game anyway.

Or maybe they thought Joseph did such a good job calling pitches last night for Bundy they want  to keep it going.

Any time Buck makes an inexplicable lineup decision, it is usually based on matchup stats. Sure enough, Joseph is 2 for 6 against Fiers. 

 

Anyone who watches tonight with Tillman pitching is the definition of a masochist.

I'll be watching. He was a little better last time out. If he builds on that good. If not he doesn't have much time left , maybe one more start.

I think he built on it!

Let's see if Joey Rickard can give us a spark...

This is the worst lineup I’ve seen in 6-7 years for us. The 6-9. Then Pederson batting 2nd. They are our best 9 right now so they should be playing, except Caleb. It’s just a sad year. 

This is the worst part of a rebuild. Being terrible and having to watch stop gap players before the prospects arrive.

The rebuild hasn't started yet.  This was a team built to win.

We’re in the worst phase of a rebuild.  Playing out the string with a losing team until the trade deadline. Then you have the stop gap phase and a 100 loss season (2019).  Then maybe you are a surprise team in 2020.
