How long do you want to ignore this user?

Ump wants to go home
ESPN box is exposing this ump
If marwin is the last out, i hope he lays into this ***** calling balls and strikes behind the plate
it's been that kind of season
Fire Hinch
You gotta swing the bat, DUDE. Wow. YOu cannot watch that go by. HORRID at bats killed us.
Swing and foul off ball four, take strike three.
You just can't take there. You just can't.
Well that sucks, I guess I'm going to bed now

Ok.. at this point, something is really wrong with the approach. How many games are we going to lose looking at strikes.
And seriously Hinch.. can you stop putting Giles into late inning situations until he figures **** out. I don't even blame the kid anymore. He's struggling,he's rattled, and you throw him to the wolves.

Send giles to corpus. Asshat is an absolute morale killer.
At what point does Hinch start feeling the heat? This team is too talented for this BS.
Is it possible to designate a Manager and 3B coach for assignment?

Dude can't act surprised that he isn't the closer and then expect to be babied when he struggles. There are only so many arms in the pen. Giles has to pitch at some point...or be sent down to figure it out.
What about lunhow? His trades for big names haven't really worked out. Maybe kazmir but that's it. Gomes Giles and Gattis suck

At what point does Luhnow start feeling the heat? We've sent a lot of talent packing for guys that we want Sent down or benched.
This is a very flawed team right now. It's built to win with power, but the power isn't there. After Rasmus, our lineup is garbage. If any of the other guys could start to resemble themselves, we'd be fine, but that's looking like a big if right now.
Still only 4 games back in the division, despite a horrendous start to the season. Don't lose hope boys.

Who else misses Qualls?
I miss the players we gave up for qualls 2.0

Stopped listening, what did they say
She was saying something about how she disagreed with bringing the infield in (with the bases loaded) with 1 out in the 11th or 12th with Jackie Bradley at the plate because even if it's slowly hit and they can't turn to, it only leads to 1 run. Or something like that. And the other announcers were like, "Um, no. You play it like this because you don't concede runs this late in the game." Then there was an awkward silence. Can't believe ESPN thinks people listen to her. What a dumbass.
Everything that she says proves she never played baseball and instead played a game which is DOMINATED by pitching, which softball is. A team is made by their pitcher, not even pitching staff. The translation to MLB just doesn't exist in my opinion.
She is extremely forced, her laughter sounds faked, her enthusiasm as certain points seems fake, and she knows absolutely nothing about baseball.
You're saying that a proper baseball swing doesn't result in smacking your upper back?
quote:To be fair. Most of the stuff people say about swing analysis is garbage,
I don't know why she does the swing analysis either. I think it was in this thread where someone broke down pitching differences from baseball and softball and the swings they require, and how wrong she is on everything.
Last year we entered an early west coast roadtrip to Seattle, Oakland, and San Diego at 6-6... and came out of it 14-7. Hopefully this trip goes the same way
Also, we are 4 games back with 143 games left... sorry but that's way too early to panic. If we play the next 20 games the same way and find ourselves in a 10 game hole, then it's time to worry IMO.

Absolutely. But there is no way they should continue to trot Castro out there every game. His offense is absolutely GARBAGE. And his defense isn't good enough to subsidize his ****ty hitting. He might be the worst hitter I've ever seen in my years of watching baseball. He makes Adam Everett look like Pujols.
Have no clue why we keep dinking around with the lineup. Put Gattis at catcher, I have no problem platooning Valbuena and Gonzalez at 3B, and put Gomez in the freaking nine spit if you insist on playing him.
Right now, I'd play Marwin at third against lefties and at first against righties (at least split time with White). I just want his bat in the lineup right now. Valbuena isn't providing any power and White is on a downward spiral.
We also need to consider some spot starts in left for Tucker, especially at home with the short porch. Gomez needs to take a seat and get his **** together. His single last night doesn't make up for the other five putrid at bats he had.
