Tate needs to down after today. Can't even hold this in check. Pitiful

This is somehow Hyde's fault

Getting the Miguel Andujar Story from Kevin Brown while we’re down 10-0 in the third inning is a circle of hell I didn’t know that existed. 

 

It beats 2018-21.  That’s something I guess.

Lol Hyde will probably play Rutschman the rest of this game and have him sitting behind the plate for an 8 hour 40-0 game then bench him tomorrow and say he needs rest.

Well you only go down 1 in the loss count no matter how embarrassing this is. I’d like to get Cowser and Kjerstad some AB’s.

Povich aint it. Send him down and put Irvin back in as a starter. Elias better be aggressive at the trade deadline or we're in trouble.

Irvin got bumped from the rotation because he was sucking worse than Povich. What about McDermott or Davidson?

Did you think they wouldn't slump over the course of 162 games because the xStats look so nice on Statcast?

Their overall line actually isn’t that bad but their hitting with RISP has just been brutal. 8th best wRC+ in the league the last 14 days but are 22nd in runs, averaging less than 4 per game.

Give Baker the 4th, let Irvin try to finish the game and look better.

You could bring in McCann but then who's your emergency catcher?

I wonder if Hyde sounds like me when I was coaching little league baseball. "OK guys, no big deal......we just gotta score ten and hold them for five innings. Whole new ballgame when that happens fellas". 

[dtk9119]

Let's load the bases again with no outs and score nothing

Queue up the trade the entire farm system for a rental and pitcher that is limited to 150ip max and will need shut down after a few more starts lmao, probably already 3 or 4 more threads about it made.

They'll be fine. There is too much talent here and water always finds its level.

I think we are getting into position player pitching territory.

Why not, both could slot in for Povich next start
