Good evening everyone, got here just in time to see the bumbling base-running fiasco. I hope we don't return to last year's problems.

He should be waving him home like crazy. Looks like he is rather passive over there. Notice how RW acts like he is waving people home frantically? That is because he was a 3rd base coach and that is exactly how Pettis should be doing it.

Wonder if there's any recent precedence of a manager also being the 3B coach?

We hit the ball on the nose for outs and they hit that garbage for a double.

I want to see whether Gary was giving him the stop sign or if he just held up on his own, either way Pettis should have been emphatically waving him around

The birds-eye replay was inconclusive, but sure appeared like he was statuesque

That's not on Wash

You're misinterpreting my post. Wash isn't indirectly at fault for that. But, the fact that Pettis is still the third base coach after his numerous debacles last season as third base coach is on Wash.

Saunders is grooving them now. Hopefully the Rays don't like meatballs

Seemed like Prince was looking up for a sign and when he didn't see something he just pulled up

Is that bad to hope Saunders goes on the DL? It saves him from getting dfa'd....

What a pathetic game all the way around. 3 hits including a double and we don't score. We were making errors on the base paths in ST and it hasn't stopped.


The ump wasn't giving that strike on the outside corner to Saunders, but I'm not interested in seeing him pitch for us anymore. I never was.

Yeah and he got hit on the foot and had to leave early couldn't even get through the fourth to save the BP after he shit the bed. It really could be worse than 5-0

Then go back to 3rd. Don't get caught up. He started back to 3rd then shuffled like he was going to go home again. Just terrible.

I don't think that's on Wash either. There's no way that Wash fired Jackie Moore, based on Wash n JMs hug chemistry and Jackies' unkind parting words, which leads me to think that JD has final day on coaching staff.

By that time Rios was heading to 3rd and Mitch to 2nd. It was a classic cluster fuck. But, like I said at least they strung some hits together. Progress
