This honestly feels like a continuation of last season.

Absolutely.

I mean this is true for Upton but I’m not sure that’s a fair description of this team. There are just some absolutely atrocious performances on display right now.

There's Upton and I would throw Harvey and Cahill in this conversation as well causing Canning, Suarez and Sandoval getting called up.

Fire Gene Mauch!!! (Volume 1)

[Jay]

So Sandoval regressed?

Riden’ with Maddon 2020

Noe Ramirez is awful. Maybe he will hit a dude with his 84mph cheese. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Mike Yastrzemski is wayyy to good for a 30 year old second year player.

Somewhere Ausmus is laughing.

It’s either a lack of talent, unpreparedness, distraction or lack of effort to be this bad

He battled through 3 innings but even his outs were loud. Almost all of his outs were in the air when he has been a groundball guy. It was only a matter of time before it imploded. I was only hoping the offense could have given him the run support before that happened. They didn't

[Claude]

We need a manager with balls

[Erstad Grit]

[Angel Oracle]

Arte “Bernie” Moreno

[Jason]

At least we get to see Upton dip below .100. That’s quite the accomplishment 

[kevinb]

Random question. Who was the GM to draft David Fletcher?

His hitting mechanics have always been flawed. Good hitters don't lean backwards as the pitch is approaching. 

I notice that too. He also always steps back out of box when the ball gets a little bit close to him. Like he's afraid or something.

Let’s see...

Upton -0.6
Adell -0.6
Walsh -0.3
Ward -0.3
Rengifo -0.2
Pujols -0.1

I mean none of these guys has to play, how is that not on Madden in some way?

Pitching, well, it’s actually not as bad... though they all kinda suck

The only one that’s excusable is Adell. He’s our top prospect and no one expected him to be completely incapable his first time up.

Tommy's doin' all right. Individual bright spot in a dark cave.

He was drafted shortly before Dipoto quit

[rafibomb]

I noticed that Sandoval was leaning on his changeup WAYYYY too much. I wonder why he went away from what was working for him so well in his first three starts?

I thought that. Just couldn’t remember. 

[eligrba4ever]

Fire John McNamara!!

[Jay]

Nice take Mike
