I fault Mountcastle more than ANY other hitter in that inning...

I am right with you. So much for "he owns Toronto." He is scuffling really bad right now.

I have said it here before, this offense can't manufacture a run to save their lives. They can't bunt, they can't advance runners, they can't even lift a lazy flyball out of the infield to get a run in from third. If they are not hitting bombs all over the place (and this is difficult against top pitching), they aren't scoring. They will be alright in the regular season when there's going to be a lot of bad pitching, but this is not a good sign for the postseason.

McCann should have been standing in 2nd base before that ball hit the ground and should have scored.

Couldn’t pinch run because would lose the DH.  Made a big difference

I was hoping ROH would hit there.

Good for Baumann....1,2,3 inning. You can't really blame the pitching. They've worked out of jams. This offense is offensive.

It certainly wasn't a good sign LAST postseason.

Sometimes you gotta tip your cap to the other team.   Toronto owes us because we owned them last year.

Yeah but they owned us in 2021 to the tune of 17-2

If he gets behind, you know he would chase. 

I'd rather see him get behind and then chase, as opposed to chasing the 0-0 pitch for a popup.

Most anemic I’ve seen this offense in some time.  I understand Garcia is all that.  No excuses if you’re actually a playoff team.

This is not the same offense that brought us the division lead in April.

And don’t get me started on the stress pitches in the second straight game. 

they must sit Mullins...and then put Hays in either CF or LF

[Moose Milligan]

Wasting great pitching and defense with this pathetic-ass offensive approach.  Just up there, hacking at everything, hack, hack, hack, swing on the first pitch, popping up and just looking like a swing happy freshman who's finally getting a chance to play.

Like last year in the playoffs when nobody showed up.

All we needed was someone, anyone to hit the ball in the air to the outfield.

Dear god I thought he was going to be out.  Attaboy Tony.

Another brake, can we not screw this up?
