Burnes has pitched great. He deserves better.

Don't worry, he will with his new team next year.

This offense is absolutely pathetic. Saw it time and time again in the regular season where they had early chances to score a singular run, couldn’t move runners over, then end up losing. 

Scoring that Mullins lead off double in the 3rd or Urias 1 out double completely changes the complexion of the game. Just incredible how bad they are.

Yes, =delivering in just one out of those two opps would have have quite a difference, especially the first one.

It bothers me to lose a game, but it bothers me much more to lose a game when poor decisions contribute to the loss. So let's just win this game.

McCann has had a bad day,,,two strikeouts with RISP and a stolen base that came on to score..

Think you might have to hit for McCann here. Hate giving up the DH, but…

No way is he hitting.

Burnes isn't coming back to this team no matter what contract they offer him lol.. he knows how atrocious this offense is.

I know Elias and Hyde aren't going anywhere but they need to clean house in the hitting coach department.

I want the team junk the two hitting coaches and just go with one.

Ya I can’t say who they should target but this approach clearly does not work

add to that free swingers like Santander and Mountcastle don’t help. 
 

Elias has work to do

McCann has the highest OPS on the team his past 30 at bats -- .966.

That is the definition of small sample size.

Unless the pitch count really jumps up this inning, Burnes should be in the 9th…no matter the score.(well he can come out if it’s a huge inning)

He has been amazing, one run or not. 

[Moose Milligan]

Get some hits dickheads 

[Sports Guy]

If Mullins does hit, he should try to lay down a bunt.

[Emory Eagle]

If I wanted to have fans and make money off them I simply wouldn't be a franchise in a declining city that doesn't every win games in the playoffs and rarely wins more than they lose in the regular season.
