I'm done. I think there's going to be a lot more games like this going forward. Get rid of Magadan. Till that happens, we cannot move forward.

The team is going to implode the rest of the way it seems

Yup. JD needs to do the right thing and realize we are sellers. He also needs to get rid of Magadan and get someone else in there to see what they can do the rest of the season.

I get the righty match ups vs the lefty if your right handed batters are capable of hitting. Adam Rosales and Rua haven't played meaningful baseball in weeks and Adam is not an upgrade over most hitters R or L handed. This is the same shit RW would do with Sunday lineups, not giving your team the best chance to win before the game even begins

I think this is THE key ingredient to your formula.

It's a rare player who can succeeded with extended time in-between playing time. And this player is normally one who has experience (plus some success) at the ML level, before he's asked/placed in such a difficult position.

Again, I have little appreciate for the position the organization has placed Rua in.

And Banny still won't say anything.

I just don't have any idea how he can sit in that fucking dugout and watch his team get totally fucked on calls over and over and over again and be such a ----- about it?

I've not been pleased with this aspect of his managing.

The Hamilton pickup really had a huge effect on Rua as well

Down 8 runs and Banny goes into the defensive mode. Go fish.

Little's performance behind the plate needs to be looked at by someone, it is pathetic. Ask Castro

True.....but like romeo was saying, "If we're gonna just waste a guy, then waste a guy like Choice." He has no future with us to begin with. Hopefully, the same is not true of Rua. After all, we thought enough of him to start him in LF to open the season.

Put Rua back down, leave him down (AND ALONE), for the rest of the season.

Choo comes across very much as a clubhouse cancer this season. I'm tired of seeing him in a ranger uniform. What amazes me is that you can share a clubhouse with stand up guys like Beltre, Fielder, and Colby and still be like that.

No sense in wasting your afternoons and evenings getting upset over shit performance like this.

There will never be a better time to find out what we have or don't have than now.
