[ulmax]

Yeah .moving .on..
For today .
Yawn ...

 

[WizardHawk]

Not satisfied with just a normal loss. No. Getting thumped. Baserunning blunders. Hani not able to run down a ball that gave up runs. Wild pitch giving up a run. Only managed 3 hits on the night.

 

[ulmax]

Only good thing is rangers.
Lose to Rockies..
Leaving..
Mariners in the lead .by default...
Lolol .
Oh my....goodness

 

[ulmax]

An unearned. .lead..is still.
A lead I suppose...
Even though. It does not feel...that way...

 

[ulmax]

Sodo mojo suggesting.
Bring up Spencer. .Packard.
Cuz he is a good contact...hitter..
I'm not against it. ..

Canzone in RF .
Packard in left .
Julio .cf ..
We would prob get at least ..as good as we do now ...

Prob have to trade garver
Or haniger,.though..

 

[ulmax]

We are told by the team apologists that you can't judge the team until after the first 40 games!

This is our lineup on game 41 of the season:


Are we now allowed to point out how bad this team is at hitting?

4 guys under .200 and a guy that is 0-9 on the season.

The team has 417 strikeouts through 40 games. The next closest in second most is 31 behind them. They are on pace to reach 1,689 K's which would be the most in the history of MLB by any team.

This is more than a slow start or early season marine layer woes. We see this year in and year out over and over again.

Stop making excuses and accept the team for what it is: Out to make a profit over winning, willing to be a pitching-only organization that does just enough keep as many butts in seats as possible to keep their earnings high. There's money in mediocrity and this organization is pro at exploiting it to the max.

After 40 games yes they do say that.

Unfortunately, Shannon Drayer yesterday was trying to spin it otherwise… wonder what their excuse is going to be moving forward..

Unfortunately it is a yearly event.

Need him to heat up. This is a good place to start.

Texas losing late in the game

We can regain the top slot in the division with a win for us and a loss for them

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

Hopefully something clicks to get him going.

 

[WizardHawk]

Hopefully something clicks to get him going.

They said he's been hitting the ball hard, but has had the lowest launch angle of his career and they have been working on getting him to raise it. Would be good if it paid off. This team can't stay above .500 with him struggling all year.

 

[WizardHawk]

Lol 1 inch more away from a 2nd HR

 

[cezero]

Best part of today was seeing Cal get a full day off. The rest of May is going to be brutal.

Castillo looking good.

Can't get too excited about Julio. SLG below 300 and OPS+ truly pathetic a quarter of the way into the season. Congrats on getting a 2nd home run, but it's not grab the mic and give a speech type stuff to me lol.
