24.  Missing Tex, Hou, KC, StL, Sea, Col

Board done chirping Moniak over Ward?  Totally over matched

Besides his contract, give me one reason why Drury plays over Luis?  Makes zero sense

Why is Drury at 2B over Luis?  No business. Luis is 10x better at 2B then Drury. Zero sense

He said he has no pain and no headache, and that he can play right now, so its def not a concussion. The weakness in his arm would be soemwhat of a concern. Assuming thats what the MRI is for

Of all the disappointing things that happened in the series, the Bullpen not throwing strikes is the most frustrating.  I don't have the stats to back me up, but it seemed like everybody was 1-0, 2-1, 3-1.. you simply will not win by constantly battling uphill in late inning counts.  Tepera has been doing this all season and has somewhat gotten away with it.  Throw F-in strikes, let them hit it.

Very lucky w 4 dps today. Throw fuckin strikes. Not that difficult

I’m totally fine with Duffy for Adell there. You need contact. Duffy did hjs job, Rendon has to go there. If he does, nobkdy says a word abt Maddon

Win Total: 83.5

To make Playoffs: Yes +138, No -172

Vegas doesnt see us making it

Adell has absolutely zero idea in RF.. How can a top prospect be that awful in the field?  

So tired of Heaney. He is such a pussy

Can LaStella hit the ball left of 2nd base?!  Why doesnt he at least attempt a bunt towards 3b??  I dont get it

Only needed 4 innings to conclude that Teherans pitching IQ is well below his jersey number. Literally zero thought process. Send this thrash back to NL

Yea! He should openly criticize our best prospect! What a loser!

No maybe he should just keep being unrealistic in his analysis. How about something like “Heaney is a headcase, its clear as day. The moment something does not go right, he self destructs”.  Is that mean? Yes. Is it 100% spot on? Without a doubt. 

Agree 100%. Gubbi is such a homer. “Now watch Adell get a hold of one.”   Umm what?  He cant even foul a ball off. Totally lost both offensively and defensively. 
 

Why anybody would throw anything else besides breaking balls in the dirt to Othani is beyond me. He will swing 2 out of every 3 times. No need to ever throw him a strike

Its pretty simple. Just throw strikes. Rangers have a pathetic lineup, yet Canning thought he could K everybody. Just throw strikes, your not that good.. look at Lyles. Marginal at best, but throws strikes, and will get the W

He also thought it was 3 outs. Seriously, fking sit his ass. Zero heart

He's not locating his fastball at all, and it has traditionally been his weakest pitch.

So he was locating his breaking stuff. Stop. Thats a minor leaguer. Put it on a tee with 2 outs and bases loaded. Make him put it in play. Thats a horrendous decision and one that has only one possible outcome- swing and miss- which you do not need there

A 2-1 breaking ball to #9 Garneau is all you have to know. He’s trying to K everybody. No idea why you wouldnt just throw 5 straight FB’s to that loser... he doesnt know how to pitch situationally

Upton being Upton, two men on, Ks, .114 BA

How about calling up Adell, have him play LF, and make Upton a part-time DH?

That makes too much sense. Plus the money he makes, they’ll never do that

Again, explain why no shift there??  
makes zero sense. Reddick, Tucker. Thats 4 runs

Lol at gubbie and Vic defending Fletch in RF, on a ball where basically any Sunday Softball RF makes.. not to mention the play by Renfrigo at 2B

Hermosillo should be yanked during pitching change

What is Middleton’s baseball IQ?? 12? Has zero idea how to pitch

Can somebody explain why there wasnt an  extreme shift on the Reddick at-bat? Last time he hit the ball to LF was 2012.. that ball is easily caught in shift
