I have full faith that Ben McDonald could wrap OPACY in kudzu.

Don't need to get someone up to play Shortstop either, 276 OBP is fine.

Does any team have a better city connect uniform than regular uniform? 

The Cubs home uniforms are a classic imo.   They shouldn’t be wearing this garbage. 

I'm a bit of a party pooper on these city connect jerseys. I haven't liked any of them. The Rockies and the Nationals are unique enough that it's okay as a once or twice a year situation, but I don't like these Cubs uniforms. I don't like the Orioles' city connect jerseys. And I generally think we should get arid of all the City Connect.

I'm fine with Hyde pulling Irvin. He was getting hit around. Baumann and Perez were complete garbage. Time to DFA Perez. 

White flag.. Garrett in for mop up. But who else could come in..

And just like that.. another run. Absolute crapfest

Hyde continues to deplete the bullpen with pulling pitchers so soon in a game. You either trust Irvin to let him throw more than 70 pitches or he can’t be in the rotation. This was the exact scenario from his last start against KC on Saturday. 

Its a huge issue IMO. He can't wait to get to the bullpen. Pulling your starter in the 5th inning, needing 15 outs from the bullpen. Hyde knew he would likely throw Perez. Just poor management from him. 
 

We NEED to beat these kind of teams and he just gave this game away.

I agree.  I thought it was fun at first but then most of the unis were ugly and it wasn’t fun anymore.

The Nationals have hideous uniforms.  I guess their city connect is slightly better than their normal set. 

The cherry blossom concept is cool even if not executed perfectly.

My issue is with everything being "Washington." I feel like DMV natives refer to the city as DC. No one ever writes "WSH" like they have on their unis.

      That would be pretty cool. Just do me a favor and please don't start the magic number thread in June next season.

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.
