You guys hear that?

It's that familiar sound you hear after you just flushed a turd down the toilet bowl, except instead we just flushed yet another brilliant starting pitching performance.

We waste starting pitching way more than any other team I've seen. If the hitters actually show up, the bullpen blows it. If the starting pitching / bullpen does well, the hitters take the night off.

I've never seen a more disjointed, disinterested, and pathetic team than what I've seen the last 2 months.

We only got 3 hits total against a no name pitcher. I thought our offense would pick it up now that we're home but they just ****ting on themselves and rolling in it like usual.

We are the worst fastball hitting team in all of mlb. Worst K rate on fastballs. How is that even possible after scoring so many runs the first half of the season? Scouting. That's how.

We are getting shut down by nobodies because every mlb pitcher can throw a fastball. And nobody but Seager can hit one for Texas.

Just rear back and throw it as hard as you can and our hitters will flail and miss like idiots. We've been striking out about 10 times per game lately too and it hasn't been going down regardless of who the opponent is.

If Don Julio 1942 changed your life then you still have much to explore. Lots of other really good sipping tequilas that don't taste like processed vanilla, including a Jose Cuervo. Do yourself a favor and pick up a bottle of Cuervo Reserva de La Familia extra añejo as a starter to keep exploring up!

Be careful, tequila causes forearm tightness

I've explored many options and varying price points. It isn't just the taste.

I'll pick up a bottle of your Cuervo.

Fortaleza is my favorite tequila by a country mile, but you can't find it anywhere anymore.

The strikeouts are a major problem, and they speak to very poor approaches at the plate and just flat-out missing meat pitches.

Seager and Semien almost always swing at the first semi-hittable pitch they see, often the very first pitch. It doesn't always work out, but they're at least trying to be aggressive on good pitches.

But with every other hitter, here is the average AB:

Pitch 1: Strike Looking (usually a fastball right over the plate)
Pitch 2: Strike Swinging or Foul Ball

So many of our hitters go down 0-2. We can't hit fastballs, and we take the first pitch the majority of the time. The book is out and every pitcher knows this. After they get up on our hitters 0-2, they nibble and either strike us out or maybe even up the count at 2-2. Then they go back to the fastball well because we can't hit them. I mean, look at the play-by-play summary of our last 10 games. Most at-bats to our 3-9 hitters are a repeat of that.

And the few times we have gotten ahead in favorable counts, particularly 3-1 with men on base, we just straight up MISS 92 mph fastballs center-center zone. They should be sitting dead red on that pitch, and yet somehow they aren't squaring up on complete meat fastballs from mediocre pitchers.

Heim gets a day off, we will see what Huff can do:

Welcome Back Huff.

Great job Montgomery.

Why did Bochy let him pitch to Solano? He was struggling already.

So sick of this offense being late on fastballs constantly. Terrible at bat by Martinez.

How do you just whiff at three straight 95mph fastballs? That's the truly head scratching part of our dry spell.

Also, can we hire Pierzynski as one of our full time announcers next year.?

Oh boy. Chapman coming in

After the Rangers game I heard him announce, he'd get fired. Too critical of coaching decisions.

I'm ready to see Carter. Martinez ain't it. This team needs a spark and another good left handed bat. Carter could provide that.

Well, the Astros are trying to keep us in the race by losing again.

Rangers gifting Houston with what will be a loss.

These Rangers are lost.

It's football season brother. It's okay.

Oh look, another K on a late swing at a fastball

Bochy sucks

Seager is Officially Qualified and leading the AL in BA.

Silver lining?
