You're the reason we lost. Why even bother going to the game?Maroon&Fight said:
I was at the game, and after we scored in the 8th inning we left and when my gf asked why I said because I don't wanna watch us blow a game in this god forsaken place. Do I have Astros BAS?

The problem is the Crane/Bagwell idiotic contracts kind of left the new GM hamstrung with what kind of moves he could make. A) not a lot of prospect capital to bring in top notch bats, but more importantly, B) bringing in said top notch bats would push us into the 2nd luxury tax threshold which I'm sure Crane told Brown to avoidEastCoastAgNc said:
Crane fired a GM after winning the world series. There's no reason he shouldn't go scorched earth after we miss the playoffs

Free tix thankfully. Like I said a couple days ago, this team is not worth paying money to see right now
Maybe we should try NOT having a mound visit before a big AB.
Maybe Bregman should shut the hell up. Just because he knows how to strike out doesn't mean he knows how to strike batters outAg_07 said:

Hitters 6 through 9 tonight:
0 for 15 with 10 Ks and 20 LOB….
These guys are SO so bad at the plate

Don't think it really matters who crane fires. He will still be calling all the shots. Would anyone worth their weight in gold want to deal with that? And the roster isn't going to get much better next year, already have 50 mill tied up in guys who will not even play. This might be the start of the decline. Just gotta hope Tucker/jv can spark the team somehow

Or at least stop telling the pitcher to announce their presence with authority
20 lob????? Is that right?

11 LOB
1 for 9 RISP
Felt like 20 though
Flush it. Over it. Win the next two.
We are at the bottom on the sound right now. Hopefully, the upsetting won't come too late.

I'm numb to it, somehow. I'm sure things will get better tomorrow. New, frustrating ways to lose games will also happen in the future just as in the past. Such is the cycle of baseball.
6 each for Meyers and Cabbage (both left bases loaded in the 8th and 10th), 4 for Dubon, 3 for Leon, 1 for Chas. Obviously individual stats and not team #sAgs #1 said:

Southside has thrown down a challenge

No doubt they'd beat us 2/3 right now
Offense currently missing Tucker and whatever the $20 mil that Jose Abreu is using to buy his sixth house could've brought

I'm not sure how many games Jake has had the day off in this stretch, but he needs some more. He batted 6th tonight.
Cabbage had 4 runners left in scoring position in 2 ABs

Wow Dana once again your deadline deal for a relief pitcher completely looks like crap. A scrap heap pickup was the best you could do?
On top of that the offense can't deliver due to your inept attempts to find a decent bat to add to the batting order. Instead your willingness to keep Cabbage and A. Diaz on the roster magnifies a significant inability on your part to identify bench talent.
Espada - you screwed up bringing Hader in to pitch the 9th inning. Why not use Scott then bring Hader for the 10th?

All the quotes by Espada regarding Tucker sound like the club is thinking he should be trying more
I couldn't imagine Espada saying that if he's that limited, just saying
It reads like 'we asked Kyle to join us in the outfield to see if he felt like playing again'

Cabbage. Cabbage. Bring on more no name guys.
Caratini should be playing full time
You need bats with a greater hope of making contact than what we have now

I can't believe you actually admitted on this forum that you left so you wouldn't witness a loss. Definitely BAS
If you combine Cabbage's power, Jake's defensive ability, Dubon's contact rate, and Chas' uppercut swing, you'd still have a sh***y baseball player
Problem remains your stars
If 1-5 aren't producing then feels like they're getting a free pass by putting it all on 6-9

Drew 6 walks tonight and still only managed to score 3 runs with 1 being a gift.
Scoring 4 or more runs once the last 8 games is reason for concern.

JV back mid-August
Tucker back "late August"
Hope then is team can hang around until then
Current 3 game losing streak has seen the starters give up 4 runs total across those 3 games
JV return should be helpful but woof
We should be talking more about why the 1-5 batters haven't been producing during this offensive swoon

9 free baserunners gifted by the Rangers

Gotta win the next two. Stay within 3 of the Mariners til JV and Tucker come back and please don't let the rangers hang around the division race I can't handle that fan base.

You have to wonder at this point if he's making "business decisions" because they won't give in to his extension demands. I'd seriously consider trading him this off-season if he's not gonna be extended. Get something useful for him. Send Presley somewhere where they want a closer and get some offensive hellp. Big changes are necessary.
mind-blowing stat about Jake given on the radio broadcast tonight
70% of his at-bats begin 0-1 -- behind in the count
that's the worst / highest % of any major league hitter in 2024

This offense is not one bat away from being fixed. They are 8 bats, a new set of hitting coaches, and a different roster construction away right now, and they have been all year.

Yep, time to move Tucker is now if not gonna extend
Also, Melton, Dezenzo, Whitcomb et al better be the real deal
I've seen this team hit offensive dry spells and the fault always seems to lie somewhere other than the top 5 to 6 guys in the order.
You don't score 4 runs in 3 games without it being a total team accomplishment

Scott looked like he needed a breather after Saturday's appearance
