Ohtani, Rendon & Upton, 0 for 10 with 5 K’s.

Just release Upton. The guy got his last contract. Doesn’t want to win. If he did he’d have learned to field a fly ball like they teach from 7 yo and up.

It shouldn’t have taken 6 walks with decreased velocity for Maddon to take Canning out of the game. 50% chance I think we hear about his elbow barking at him again.

It’s bad to lose on errors.

Or the manager could have played Rengifo at 2B and hid LaStella at 1B. Rengifo can’t seem to hit LHP at all but he’s better against RHP like they faced tonight.

Losing is no fun for sure, but while Noodles had a bad game so did Myers allowing inherited runners to score. Leaving so many runners on base. Not swinging to protect the plate with 2 strikes. This team is just not good.

Dang. Binging West Wing and for some reason felt safe about this game early on. How naive of me.

Can’t go one game without striking out at least once. I sure hope to God they can move him. He’s a disgrace!

l don’t know about a disgrace but he has always had high K rate during his career. The layoff certainly messed with his timing and he might be better served by a trade and starting fresh on another team.
