[Bronson]

They need to get something going next inning.

Yikes Ohtani today. He needs to fix this.

It’s bad. I have no idea how he even makes contact. Imagine if he had actual fundamentals.

[Bronson]

Okay time to chop into this lead.

[Bronson]

Okay let’s see if Trout can be “clutch” here.

[Bronson]

Well....

[Bronson]

I’d pinch hit for Pujols here.

He needs a new swing coach. If he could just learn to turn his hips instead of flailing his arms he would be unstoppable.

I loathe Teheran. He was always a horrible signing, but I never thought he’d be this bad. He’s the reason we won’t taste the playoffs this season.

Upton and Ohtani really cost us some early games. It was forecasted to be a sprint and these two didn’t get out of bed in time.

So your telling me, we had bases loaded with 1 out, and we only scored 1 run....

At least they scored.

[Vlad27Trout27]

These guys need to decided on whether to tank or win! I'm tired of this!

They are going to do neither. They'll finish 1 game out and with the 13th pick.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Well l'll watch Trout's next AB and then maybe some football

To me the reason we are not going to the playoffs is getting swept by the Rangers and then the following week losing 3 of 4 to the Giants.  Teheran didn’t start any of those games.  Upton, Rendon and Ohtani all got off to slow starts, granted Rendon came back like gang busters, but we lost a lot of games in the first two weeks.  In the first two plus weeks of the season we were 5-11.  

[tdawg87]

We had the worst start in franchise history. If they had a "bad" start they're probably tied for a playoff spot right now.

As I was looking into it a bit more, the next game, the 17th game, is when Rendon started playing like himself.  

[eligrba4ever]

Oh well. Not looking good for a miracle run to .500 about now. 

One or two below .500 could still be mediocre-adjacent, which is better than really abysmal.

[Inside Pitch]

I really hope Sandoval gets the start over Teheran next time. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

 Not having a light out closer. 

The struggles that Ohtani had both on the Mound and as a hitter, with Upton.  

 combined Costed us the season. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

4.5 games back, with 6 to go..and we're playing the Dogs and Pads...... we can accept the Tank! 

Also Robles needs to remove the Undertaker's theme song, he doesn't deserve  it!

Also what the heck is Odor's problem? dude has some serious anger issues. 

Also Robles should stop dancing around and actually pitch!

[tdawg87]

Season over.

Exactly. 

No, "one" reason it didn't happen.
