Gloom despair agony aTm thread

[Bulldog from Birth]

100%. It’s not like Downs hits well enough to not bring in Skinner or Davis and move Mule to LF with a 3 run lead. Pretty dumb.

Love Mule at the plate but any other CF on the roster catches that ball

 

[8dog]

The better strategy is to not walk 4 people.

Considering our situation

we are in as good of a position as we could be.

Just got to get it done.

Was it over 10 walks tonight again? I think it was

 

[8dog]

5 of 8 runs reached via walk.

5 of 8 runs reached via walk.

Somebody around here said we just have not got any dependable pitching this season. This is another one of those games where if we had had anything effective from the bullpen that we could count on we would've snuck out game one

I can't remember who that guy was. I actually think it may have been more than one fella.

100% correct, as I said in a different thread our biggest issue has been pitching followed by lack of timely hitting. Our bullpen hasn’t been good all year.

I mean if you’ve watched us play all year, this was a pretty stereotypical game for us. Flashes of promise, but we struggle to get runners home at times and our pitching is totally unreliable.

 

[onewoof]

We only walked 7 tonight. They walked us 4 times. We both hit a batter

Problem is that our walks and hit batters happen in bunches.

You should be able to run backward and score from second on a no doubter double. Hines might be the worst base runner in history. Lemonis had a brain fart not putting Davis in Center in the 7th. You want your best hitters in the 1-2-3 spots because they usually will get an extra bat. Put Yeager-Luke-Mule and Hines at the top of the order.
