Just fucking forfeit and board the plane early.

I guess all the hype around Evan Phillips was just hype. But we got to see him and that's all I wanted.

Im not ready to give up on him yet.

 

[Chewbaccer]

At least the Phillies lost and the Nats are about to lose. Not that it really matters.

Im not ready to give up on him yet.

It's just one bad outing, but he's throwing batting practice today.

 

[Chewbaccer]

We could hit two grand slams and still be down a run.

 

[Mistaken4193]

We gotta go 4-1 on this last homestand before the break.



We are now 7-10 in our last 17

 

[Chewbaccer]

I might be forgetting some games, but I think this is the biggest ass kicking we've took all year. I think one of the San Francisco games was close.

Don't bank on it. I think the whole team has checked out.

Padres kicked our ass good in San Diego

 

[Mistaken4193]

And of course when it doesnt mean shit Flowers comes through.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Well...at least Freddie has seem to broken out of his slump.

 

[Chewbaccer]

It figures Flowers would get an RBI hit in the 9th inning of a 10-1 game but strikeout with the bases loaded in tight games all road trip.

Freddie with back to back 3 hit games though, didn't help us much today, but hopefully he's gonna go on a tear and help us win games down the road.

Padres kicked our ass good in San Diego

It was 11-4.

Those two meaningless runs made it look better than it was today. Giants beat us 11-2 at STP, so when it was 10-1, it was tied for our worst ass kicking of the season.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Blue Jays have 2 pitchers who have struggled goin ...if we dont sweep we should give up.

 

[Chewbaccer]

I have a lot of hot takes when live posting.

I really don't want to trade Newk, it's just frustrating when a pitcher has back to back terrible starts when your team really needs a win.

But there's 5 games left before the All Star Break and there's two off days mixed in, I'm sitting Newk until after the AS Break. Maybe the rest will help him out a bit. He seems to do better the longer he has off.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Ender handled the situation like I knew he would. Knew he made a mistake and owned up to it, and I bet you he learned his lesson. I applaud both Snit for taking him out of the game and Ender for handling the situation well.

It cost us a run, but was far from costing us the game, and if anything, maybe this will be the turning point for Ender's season. If he can become anything close to the hitter he was last season, it'll be like a trade.
