I’m more bummed with the game Adell had than the loss itself. He’s been having such some amazing at-bats and I hope he doesn’t regress back to what he was. Like @totdprods said, I am already ruling this season out but it’s important to get improvement by our younger “core” players.

Feel bad for Adell, and hope he doesn’t start pressing and trying to be “the guy” with Trout out where it starts reverting him back to bad tendencies. He’s had a good year so far and that was a tough, tough game for him. 
We all have to be patient. This is going to be a tough year. W/L won’t matter. Even positive/negative trends amongst the youngsters might not matter, because we just need time to see how all this plays out. They could be treading water with rushed players just as much as we could be seeing a new annual contender making its first steps. Either way, it’s going to take probably all of 2024 and probably most of 2025 to know. So enjoy what goes right each game and on the farm and hope for the best, if that’s the way you want to enjoy baseball.

With the state of the organization as a whole I am putting an unfair amount of hope into Rada’s development and I hate it. Dude is 18 years old in Double-A.

Little things going right though...
Schanuel hitting .302/.327/.377 in his last 15 G/53 AB
Rengifo on the year is now hitting a very solid .326/.376/.465/.841 and has already set a career high in SB (9 for 9, his previous high was 6)
Neto is hitting .302/.327/.509 in his last 15 G/53 AB
To me, this is more important than winning a game where we're running out guys like Adrianza and Pillar already. 

If my math is right, Rada is hitting .333 in his last 7 games now, and Fontenelle is slashing a robust .302/.408/.460/.868 in 19 games, with 6 XBH, 8 BB, 19 K and an impressive 11 steals in 12 attempts. I am indeed starting to get on the hype train for him.
Rada is tied for 6th with most hits in the Southern League. And he's 18.

I don’t remember how it was described about Anderson’s outing last night, something like stellar, for throwing 6 innings of 3 run ball, so I guess Sandoval was stellar today for allowing 2 runs in 5 innings.  Those are the rules.  

Let's win this one for all the Logan O' Hoppe bobbleheads left behind.

That double was 111 mph off the bat. 

when we win the world series this year that cat will be considered the turning point 

Tucker is nice story so far this is why I love this game.

Also injured!

Also Flint and Redfield are two guys that are climbing in the system and might be worth keeping an eye on. 

Raise your hand if you had Jo Adell leading the team in wRC+ at the end of April.

We are swapping Aaron Hicks for Vanessa Hudgens? W.

Oh brother, at this point a successful season for me is a bottom 5 record leading Arte to sell, the youngsters getting better and obviously a top 5 pick. Oh and the Dodgers not winning the chip.

The irony of him getting injured because he was hustling his ass off to get on base.

It’s okay, Trout will hit a solo home run in the 9th

Damn Jo really is coming around. Adell with a great at-bat to break up the no-no and now a great at-bat to get on base as the tying run along with a nice sliding catch. He was also safe stealing 2nd. He's an everyday player and let that confidence and comfortability grow.
