When you get a baserunner on with 0 outs, you score more than 50%, according to the announcer (even though he was a terrible announcer at that). We did that how many times tonight and couldn't get the guy home. Had runners and scoring position and couldn't get them home. Antchak gets a 1 out triple and we get 2 BAD strikeouts.We were 0-8 with 2 outs at the plate

Our 2-hole hitter is slugging .282; he has 2 extra base hits all year long
Tyler Stover is an every day player who's hitting .210.
Handsome Monica was supposed to be a big bat in the middle of the lineup, he's slugging .297

As a matter of fact, we only have 3 guys who are batting over .300 for the year and one of them (Lott) doesn't play every day and 1 guy slugging over .500 and he's our leadoff hitter.

I don't care how well you pitch, if you hit like _______ then you're not going to win.

I'm so confused with our hitters. Waaaaaaaay too much talent to continue to under perform the way we have

I was watching at home pulling my hair out over this you took the words right out of my mouth

As are most coaching positions. The guys just responded to Deggs and they DONT respond to JT. I've been told by multiple people around the club that we have candy azz players worried about insignificant ____. Mix that with a guy trying to figure it out himself and you have what we see on a nightly basis with this offense.

I don't need them to get on the radio and tell me what I see. It's obvious. It's plain and damn simple. We have guys that are ok with losing and we have a hitting coach that is guessing out there. No need to criticize me as a fan of the team. I'm not quitting, I'm not bashing. I'm calling it like I see it.

It's freaking crunch time. It's time to sit the babies and play the grinders. IDGAF how old they are, what their stats are, what their experience is.. play the guys that hate to lose. Stick Jack Burk on the weekend rotation and yank talbot's azz out of the 3rd base box. It's time.

No DH for Gunner on Thursday

People aren't going to continue to pay more and more money for season tickets every year if the quality doesn't get better. The good pitching, bad hitting, make the postseason every few years or so ____ was fine, but since my ticket prices have doubled and will be even more expensive next year, I expect more from the program.
