Giving a pitcher that strike 3 call on Acuña is BS. That's never a strike and he called it twice on Acuña today. Let the players decide the game. That's BS.

Chip needs to bring on Derek Schiller and AA more often. Nothing like listening to a suit engage in BS talk when anyone can see that moves need to be made to make this team better. Panda and Leon need to go immediately. We can replace them with anybody. A trade needs to be made for a legitimate major league hitter. Nobody wants to hear any more BS from Schiller or AA. I find it impossible to believe that we can't package some combo of Camargo, Arcia, Demiritte or maybe a couple other guys with a draft pick and get a better outfielder than Almonte as well. If they don't make some kind of move to upgrade LF at least for the rest of this year I'm going to be pretty pissed. We've gotten really lucky that Heredia has been hitting because he won't keep that up either and we're going to have two glaring holes in the OF along with catching issues, bullpen issues and bench issues.

Add Mc Guirk to the suit bunch All Mc Guirk and Schiller add to the organization is to count the beans I doubt they know or care about baseball. They pretty much hide behind the scenes Alex, he is a baseball man. I would listen to him whom for his position I think he is as honest as he can be. I have zero trust in those above him. I do think Alex will try to get a hitter and he knows he has to upgrade in LF, I do not know if he can get a better catcher - I hope he will not be afraid to trade a prospect and that he does not overvalue what is truthfully a mediocre farm system at this time save for one or two guys I hope we do not hold on to Waters and Pache to the point that they become worthless. We have made some mistakes with holding prospect pitchers in the past. Wright for example

Maybe we got spoiled but in recent years almost every game where we were trailing by several runs going into the late innings I always felt like we were going to win. I don't feel that way this year. We did get spoiled the last 3 yrs and maybe we overachieved to a point It helped that the competition within the division underachieved But some of the players we are throwing out there - come on we have one bad OF spot and Heredia - can he really keep it up And forget the catching position - imagine if D Arnaud is not resigned

d'Arnaud has been injured his entire career. Hopefully Langaliers will be ready.

I don't ever get too involved in pre-draft analysis, because drafts are such crapshoots, but we are really going to need to have great drafts for the next several years.

I don't feel that way this year. yeah this year's bunch quits most of the time as soon as they fall behind. Every now and then they might claw a run or two early ro get in it, but I'd they are behind late, they are done. Most of that is attributable to lack of talent behind the 5 spot in the order and poor execution by guys who used to be a threat every time they stepped up against a reliever.

It's also attributable to Acuña having a sub-par year in certain clutch situations. There have been plenty of times when Freeman hasn't delivered.
It's just a down year for a lot of people.
