[SteveA]

Wow, Hyde let a guy who was pitching well stay in for another inning.

Progress.

I'm with Roy on this one, it's frustrating as %&#@ to watch this team at the plate right now.  The worst part is that the talent level is through the roof, they shouldn't be slumping this hard for this long.

Well, he's in to face LH hitting Varsho, it's his last batter no matter what.

They swing at everything.  Everything.  Adley and Westburg are pretty much the only two capable of working at-bats.

White flag Baumann.

Yeah, it's bad.  Like I said earlier, seems like this is a Trumbo team.  Feel like I'm watching Trumbo, Jones, Hardy and the rest just swinging at everything, not walking and waiting for a boom or bust hot streak.

Not sure where the patience from last year went.

Teams have definitely caught on to the aggressive approach

We might be overly aware of how bad umpires are now, but this is really bad.

This series Tor pitching has walked 3 and struck out 18.

Os have walked 11 and struck out 10.

Is it time to start wondering about our two-headed hitting coach?

[DenPA2002]

Please PH for CM.

[SteveA]

Nice job Baumann!

Bullpen coming through today so far, albeit with a few walks.

Haha, I dunno.  I feel like blaming the hitting coach was peak 2010 OH.  But who knows right now, this sucks.

I assume they leave the lefty in.   I think you HAVE to hit for Mullins.
