Sam Freeman has walked 3 of the last 7 batters he has faced.

and Folty has to have cleaner games. Walking 4 guys in 4+ innings just isn't going to cut it.

There's nobody in our pen that I really trust.

Minter, Vizcaino, Carle and Winkler, I trust far more than the rest, and I don't trust them as far as I can throw em.

I'm not aware of any bullpen studs in the minors, so this will have to be fixed via trade or free agency, and I'm not convinced our front office will do it.

Doesn't matter how good the offense of rotation is if the pen can't hold leads.

I see the offense looks content to make another no name pitcher look like Sandy Koufax.

Tucker is 2 for his last 13. He's never really put together a string of good games. He goes to sleep for a while and then wakes up and has a big game.

Acuna is red hot in AAA right now.

The time is now.

WE WANT ACUNA!!!

This game is headed for another disaster

Suzuki couldn't hold home plate.

This is why I hate starting a series against a team that was on a losing streak. They have to snap out of it sometime.

And now they've scored 2 runs on balls that didn't leave the infield and we didn't get a single out to show for it.

First time through the order, and we've put a total of two balls in play.

Bad pitching last inning, but the offense is just as culpable.

You can't let no name pitchers dominate you. At least have long at bats before you strikeout.

We're getting no hit by a guy I've never heard of.

Thought we would find out a lot about this team in this series.

Not going good so far.

I'm going to be livid if they call up Bautista before they call up Acuna.

I really don't think Tucker has anything to do with it. Acuna got off to a bad start this year, and they didn't want him to call up while he was slumping.

Flaherty is off to a hot start, but they still just signed a guy that barely hit .200 last year to replace him.

Our whole offense has shit the bed the last week. Ozzie,Freddie,and Ender are in slumps and need to get out of them.

I've been saying this all year.

I don't want to get greedy and ask to avoid the shutout, hopefully we can just avoid being no hit tonight.

Seems like this happens every time we start a series against a team that had been in a major slump. They snap out of it against us.

The bad pitching I can understand. This park is a more hitter friendly park than Coors Field, but there's absolutely no excuse for the offense not managing a single hit to this point.

Fuck this non adjustment making offense tonight.

12 strikeouts from a guy named Tyler Mahle. Oh and we still haven't got a hit.

This game might be more embarrassing than the Cubs game where we blew an 8 run lead.

And I don't know why Inciarte was complaining. It was clearly a strike.
