That's ridiculous. If we could just push across 3 runs every time he starts, imagine how many more games we would win. I wish we could replace iapoce.

I can understand the frustration with not scoring runs but Iapoce is not out there swinging at pitches out of the zone. These bunch of free swingers get themselves out a whole bunch

I'm still not a fan of the coaching. I think it could be better.

The absence of Moreland, Prince, and Desmond means 341 strikeouts from last year are not on the books. Also Odor is on pace to strikeout 17 more times or 13% more than he did last year. Elvis is on pace for 19 more strikeout or 29% more than last year. I don't know if it is as simple as Adam says it is. Gallo does strike out a ton, but we seemed to have a lot of problem with some guys last year as well and this year is even worse.

I'm fine with Elvis' increased K's if his hitting continues to trend overall in this direction.

Well fortunately you can't pull the strings because we'd be fucked.

Everyone on this board would probably drive this team into the ground. That's why JD and company have the baseball jobs and we don't.

I think your trigger finger might be itchier than most but you're right we don't get paid for any of our opinions here. :D

Yes..... I'd bet everyone on this board has an occupation that they're good at. Maybe some are retired. I don't know for sure.

Put me down as sell.....Or perhaps, just stay the course.

Regardless. I'm more than ready for the 2nd half to kick off....So-to-speak anyway.
