Upton .079 for those who are keeping score.

He started the night 6 for his last 60.

They will keep sending him out there until his average is .010. He's killing us.

Audio synch problem with the Giants telecast. The call of the deep fly out was done before the camera showed the pitch.

Not the cable at all. Just the synch issue that comes with downloads. I got distracted watching an astronomy show on PBS.

Sooo, where is this hot streak that FUpton is known for?

He’ll get hot for about a week when we’re 22 games out.

How in the world did this team win the 2002 world series?

Eckstein, Erstad, Salmon, Spiezio, and the rest were a different spieces of ballplayer than the stiffs on this current team.

Trout has developed his own style

A real GM, and not the garbage since 2010

What does one expect from an owner who had Buttercup played at every home game for several years, a downer song?

Seventh innings are supposed to be fun.

[Bronson]

I knew Robles wasn’t gonna come close to what he achieved last year. You can just tell when a reliever is something special... Robles isn’t that.

[daygloman]

Let's get out of this inning for fucks sake!

Seems to happen every year with this team too. Pen's been bad for years, but they'll have some surprise guy who owns for one season, eventually earns the closers job over the course of the year, then goes into next season as the closer just to turn back into a pumpkin again. Unfortunately, they don't have anybody in the pen this year who is having that surprise season...they're all bad

[Angel Oracle]

Fire Eppler, and force Moreno to sell the team to someone who understands baseball!

Moreno and Carpino are useless!

Watch them get the first pick and draft another freaking toolsy OF!

The worst thing is we're getting kicked around by a really bad team.

Trout will get his home runs, Fletch will get his hits, and Rendon will do well, but that's about it for 2020.

[Angelsjunky]

This team sucks.

Trout is hitting .280 and sinking fast.

A lot of strikeouts too.

[Bronson]

So if we don’t make this game close in the top of the 8th....

 

over or under 20% we throw at someone in the bottom half?

[Stradling]

Just a hunch, Trout will be fine.

Remember when Trout was all excited that money was coming off the books so they could start spending again.

Yeah, Trout is slumping, Ohtani is sucking, the pitching staff blows and Joe Maddon looks like he should have stayed in his peace & love bus. 

Something need to turnaround soon. 2020 completely sucks ass!

A unique player, immune to the suckage around him. Just having a typical slump.

[Claude]

Rendon looks like he’s playing through a sprained wrist.
