This team cannot handle early-inning prosperity.

Our pitcher gave up some runs so you have to generalize to this, like it's some characteristic of our team?

When was the last time we had "early inning prosperity" and gave it back?

We are winning 65% of our games and our offense is scoring among the top five  in MLB in runs per game.   Yet we hear so many of these generalized statements about how we can't hit, we can't handle prosperty, we always give runs back after we score, we always do this wrong, we always do that wrong.

It's all such utter BS.   If we were making a habit of doing all the things wrong all the time that the whiners and crybabies constantly cry about, there is NO WAY we would be on a 105 win pace or one of the highest scoring teams in MLB.   It would be impossible.

Do we do those things on occasion?   Sure, every team does.   Every team has a scoring drought   Every team occasionally gets a lead and gives it back.   Every other team strands runners on 3rd with less than two outs now and then.

But there is NO WAY we are worse at all those things than most teams.   There is NO WAY those things can be endemic problems for us rather than just things that happen occasionally to us like every MLB team.  Because if they were, we would not have the record we do.

Amen to everything you just said!

I know Suarez has pitched good so far, but I am weary of him.

You may be weary of him but he still has given us a chance to win each start.  The team is winning so you don’t fix what isn’t broke.

It seems like O'hearn is hitting nothing but pop ups recently.

O'Hearn has dropped off a cliff.

Mountcastle has passed him in offensive stats.
