Another 1st inning giving up at least one run. Should probably just skip ahead to the 2nd inning.
Edit: 4 runs in the first.
You coming back to edit that made me laugh hahaha. Thank you.
Woof. Ok maybe time to revisit my posts on defending Leiter. He's been really bad the last month or so

The ball was going over the wall as I hit the post button.
Leiter……wow

I still think Leiter can be a #2 type pitcher. Probably not an ace but maybe. He had 2 outs after throwing 13 pitches. He just lets it get away sometimes.
I think he is in his own head too much right now. And this offense will not score more than 2 today.
I find it completely hilarious that a franchise slotting DeGrom and Eovaldi as our 1-2 punch is completely unable to field a team that will compete for a playoff spot, even with a massively expanded playoff bracket.
It's maddening, sometimes it just doesn't go your way. You can't point the finger at one specific person. We aren't born with enough fingers to point out all the things that are going wrong with this franchise right now.
This will be 9 out of 10 seasons without a winning record. You're talking Colorado Rockies territory at this point.

Nice to know Langford can come through with a HR when the game is already over and there's no one on
We've gotten our run quota!

This team is so unclutch. Burger especially. How many time has he been up with the bases loaded lately and K looking?

No telling lol but I'm more mad at Strike 1 and 2 swinging when his bat is a foot away from the ball. Looks like a Javy Baez whiff

And before the "well what about when it matters?" question is asked...

Swept by the Twins at home!
9 runs allowed in the 1st Inning for the series!

My worst fear about Leiter is that we cannot develop him into a TORP and that he is just a guy at best here, after you draft him 2nd and is as close to being a sure thing as you could draft. Then, he leaves here and Tampa Bay or Minnesota or the A's turn him into an all star reliever.
Idk I think he's about tapped out. He's added a changeup, and his arsenal has gotten better. But his issue is, has and always will be fastball control. He cannot put his fastball where he wants and needs, and it gets absolutely whacked. You could say the same about a lot of his pitches tbh.

We're 3 back in the division and 1.5 back in the wildcard.
Not saying I think this team is going to do much of anything, but its hyperbole to say they can't even compete for a playoff spot with a massively expanded playoff bracket.
I would think that as this team gets healthy it could go on a good roll, but Skip is in his 3rd season as a manager and looks like his 2nd season might be what you get out of him, which is not good at all. His in game decisions along with home setting up lineups leaves a lot to be desired.
We've had what 4 Managers in the last 10 years? I think it's more the franchise and who has been and is still here than that revolving door of a position. They can only do so much with what they're given
Yeah, although Skip hasn't set the world on fire with his decision making and lineup construction, this is a roster problem more than a manager problem. JMO

Agree on the lineup issues but it's the same people who put the lineup together that hired the manager.
Which is why I hope we are active in shaking this team up at the deadline. Don't be afraid to jettison some guys, even for less than stellar returns. I would be trying hard to get off horrible contracts as we move into whatever the next phase of CBA is going to govern the MLB.rbtexan said:

Yeah, I trade every veteran I can. There may not even be a season next year. Perfect time for a reset.
That said, everyone else know that too. I don't think the market for vets will be good at all. Big time sellers market
I don't think the MLB vet market will ever be "good" again. Everyone knows how awful 85%+ of their contracts are, and you are getting guys who will be on the IL all the time.
I think teams are going to be very, very cautious about what contracts they commit themselves to prior to the labor stuff getting sorted out. It could be a ridiculously slow off season in regards to player movement.

Guys in their late 30s are capable of smashing 90 mph fastballs but the problem is, no one these days throws under 95 mph. It's a big part of the reason the game is getting younger with a greater emphasis on athletic players
