Hyde... My Dad and I were saying the same thing.  

Didn’t want to use Mullins for him and was saving Kjerstad for McCann is my guess

Sometimes a good team just slumps as a unit, for a week or two, then gets back to normal.

Been a lot of “those games” recently. This team has way too many game of doing little to nothing and then pads the stats with a few big games occasionally or 1 or 2 big innings.

I know we did lead the league with fewest games scoring 2 or less about a week ago.  Most teams score 6+ runs some then have little offense.   It isn’t that uncommon.

Rays also 0-10 RISP vs Yanks. 

[Moose Milligan]

I knew it was a trap series.  Could see it a mile away.

I think there is a degree of fatigue with this team and they need the all star break to get refreshed. And hopefully a couple pitchers will be joining the team via trade by the end of the month.

Mullins has a .700 OPS vs RHP and Hays .604 vs RHP when he batted.  Ah well.

And my guess is he thinks Hays looks better than Mullins right now.

I dont know if they know, bit you actually have to score runs to have a chance to win.

This team is sleep walking since it got back from thr west coast. 

Not a single player wants to step up offensively .

 

[eddie83]

Bloop double and bloop RBI. 

[Sports Guy]

Why do we suck so bad vs the NL central!l?

[Chavez Ravine]

Nuts. More than a Weaver away. 

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

I really hope to see less of Tate pitching the second half of the season. Maybe he could the mop up guy after Elias acquires a couple of bullpen arms.

[LGOrioles]

Hey didn’t the Orioles tell the Cubs they aren’t allowed to get a hit with RISP?!
