Tuesday 6/25 vs. Cleveland

[Roy Firestone]

I have serious doubts that we can survive the pitching collapse and be even a quality post season team.or a post season team at all.....Once Bradish was out and Kremer was hurt...this team was in deep doo...we simply dont have many other options unless we make a major roll of the dice with one of our elite prospects..and even then...

This is almost comical. I knew this would be a tough stretch but I didn't expect us to suck.

They may never win a game again. 49-113 season. 0-162 seasons for the rest of our lives.

This Arias guy is like the Siri of the field.

[gtman55]

And I hate to break it to everybody but we literally could easily go on a 10 game losing streak.

This is Murphy's Law... everything has gone wrong. Hopefully, GROD can be the stopper tomorrow.

Just sell at the deadline. Stock the farm with pitching. Oh wait, Elias can’t trade worth a darn. Any idiot can do well drafting 1/1. Outside of Gunnar, Adley, and maybe Cowser, who else has he really drafted? Don’t count Mayo, Norby. They’re rotting away in Norfolk.

Mateo did the same thing against Yankees on the Adley throw out in extra innings.

Absolutely didn’t. Didn’t have his shin in front of the base and had the ball before the runner got there. Go back and watch.

Irvin with back to back dildo starts. 

You want to take Irvin out of the rotation? Who replaces him? The Orioles have no reservoir of pitching talent, and they got there largely by choice.

Cano just isn’t that great. He can be very good at times but do you really trust him in a high leverage situation?

I don’t trust him in a lot of situations. Definitely not a high leverage situation in a playoff game.

Cleveland should be the front runner to win the WS easily. What an amazing baseball team. 

It’s June.

Yep. It’s why I think we need AT LEAST 2 high leverage relievers. We can’t count him as one.

[Roy Firestone]

if it matters...the Mets lead the Yankees 6-1

“Literally could easily”

I don't know if it would have made a difference, but maybe Cano shouldn't go a week between appearances?

Kevin Brown summed it up "When they hit, they don't pitch; when they pitch, they don't hit." We've had some decent individual performances over this long losing streak, but we can't put together decent pitching and decent hitting on the same night.

If our offense puts up a decent showing, our pitchers can't keep the opponent off the bases and they outscore us.

If our pitchers throw a hell of a game, our offense comes up small.

Winning teams find a way to sync up (through luck or otherwise) good pitching and good hitting nights. We're looking less and less like a winning team.
