8/22 vs HOUSTON

[TopGunnar]

Get rid of the 2 inexperienced under qualified hitting coaches. Atleast one

So glad I didn't waste my time watching this POS team tonight.  The Elias expression said it all. He finally realized what a dumpster fire he's built. Let the burn down commence. 

[Moose Milligan]

Pop fly, of course.

Yeah, there is the bright side to this game.  But wrong night for the bullpen to give up 0 runs.  

No pressure situation 

Game already over.

Man, do we suck. It’s a good thing we started the season winning cause we’d be well out of the playoff race if we didn’t.

Holliday sucks. Should have traded him When he had some value. Dude isn’t a major leaguer.

This game will not help the “runs per game” argument

Time for a closed door meeting...does this team actually have a leader?

There was a discussion about this on here a while back.  The consensus was no one.  
 

The offense is probably in the “what does it matter, if we score runs - the pitchers piss it away” mode.    The pitchers are like “I can’t get any run support around here and I’ve got little league infielders behind me.”

Maybe try a players only meeting.  Sure couldn’t hurt at this point

One of many 2024 disappointments.  Maybe they rushed him.

Are you guys serious?

He's twenty years old.

Hmmm one is on the IL, and the other was traded? Am I mistaken or were you being sarcastic?

Either way, I feel your pain

Yes I was trying my hand at snarky sarcasm.

And based on his body of work at the major league level to date, is your argument that he isn’t a disappointment?    Hopefully he’ll ultimately figure it out (offense and defense), but until then it’s a disappointment watching him bat .150 and flailing away.

Again, he’s twenty. Not every player makes the jump to MLB without struggling in his first year. Scouts see an elite (not just good/very good) baseball player in him. Look at it this way: he’s getting his struggles out of the way this season. Next year’s likely ‘struggling rookie’ candidate will be Coby Mayo.

No, because I have perspective. 

But if you must have an answer, I think his approach at the plate today as a PH vs the RH RP was fantastic.
