If you say "tomorrow" enough it will eventually come true.

They couldn't even give us that.

That's on Hinch.

We need 4 runs in 2 innings and we wasted Marwin on one AB and have Castro in the lineup. Gattis could've caught and Marwin DH and we'd be all good.

That's dumb.

If ag07 is starting to blame Hinch... We are screwed.

It's a bad move.

I'm not blaming the loss on Hinch.

Who do we blame strikeouts looking on? You can't tell me other teams do this nearly as much... So you can't blame the individual players.

If you think Ks looking are on the manager then I can't help ya bud. And yes these players K a lot and they were built this team was built that way. Lots of Ks and lots of bombs.

A managers job is to put the players in the best position to succeed. So far this year we've been in pretty good positions to succeed but just can't execute timely hitting.

Overall this crappy run is far from being Hinch's fault.

So a whole team has a generally ****ty approach, and it's not the coaches fault? Got it bud.

Gregerson has gotten so little work that we put him in with a 4 run deficit...

And he immediately gives up a triple.

What the hell is with this team? We've been in a slump since game 2 of the season.

Started last season 27-14. Since then, 64-74.

We are not a good team.

You can put equal parts blame on all levels of the organization. Luhnow for the roster composition and trade gaffes, Hinch for the repeated lineup and tactical errors, and the players for lacking focus and making mental mistake after mental mistake.

The reality is that this team is not nearly as talented as we thought. We may still only be a year away, but it is going to take Luhnow cutting some losses and making some moves to bring in more high end players. Would love to see a different manager, but don't see any way they get rid of Hinch this year.

If this team stays in last place Hinch will be gone.

Luhnow needs to stop trading away prospects because he gets fleeced in every deal.

It does seem like when he is trading MLB players for prospects, he almost always comes out ahead. But when he trades our prospects for MLB players it hasn't seemed to go well
