I will not stand for Gunnar Henderson slander. The offense would be a lot less inconsistent if the rest of the lineup modeled their approach at the plate after Westburg and Gunnar.

Gunnar is not good with two strikes.

They have lost the ability to manufacture runs.

Did Santander swing at a decent pitch all game?

How god damn hard is it to a single run at home?

So what are you saying?  Substitute him with Rivera, who also has a small sample size?  Or not play him at all in favor of Adley, who has forgotten how to hit?

Look at who McCann actually is and not how he's been the last few at bats.

He's not a talented hitter.

I didn't say a word about Rivera.

Burnes coming back for the 9th… a complete game loss…how tragic.

 

So let’s not…

[Sports Guy]

Santander is that guy that has had a lot of clutch hits but I have zero faith in him coming through.  It’s an odd combo…probably not a rational thought.

It's been pretty bad

It’s been awful. 
 

No pregame show. Bad sound. Poor camera angles.

Can Santander actually come through? His ABs were abysmal today. Came up tiny.

This is why I'm not signing Santander to a long term contract. He's a swing away slugger and his game won't age well the older he gets. Also this season is a career year and I doubt he repeats it again.

[LA2]

Erceg has only given up only four homers in 116.2 career innings.

Our slugger gets fooled on a change-up after a 99.2 mph fastball.

[foxfield]

6 base runners left on.  Several in scoring positions with less than 2 outs.  Hard to be successful when you fail to capitalize on those opportunities.

Santander picked a bad time to slump.

[dtk9119]

Wow I am shocked Burnes is back out. At this point why not use him up...

[eddie83]

Burnes back out. 

[Bahama O's Fan]

Santander is cold at the beginning and end of the season. Why? I have no idea
