Work on that high draft pick. Trade away a couple of useless pieces at the deadline. Good things ahead!

Yup, the next Taylor Ward or Matt Thaiss is out there waiting for us.

And what I’ve seen from Adell, I’d have to say he isn’t untouchable. Looks like a younger version of Upton.

What an embarrassing series of AB’s. Refusing to move the batter over, 1 pitch, one out, swinging at a terrible pitch to strike out and the best player in baseball striking out looking on 3 pitches, bat not even leaving his shoulder.

Fuck this team.

One of the worst at-bats I’ve seen Trout take this season. Passive AF.

It slipped away when we lost three of the first four games in Oakland. Simmons grounding into the 1-2-3 DP with the bases loaded in the 4th of that Monday game (on first pitch no less) was the pin being pulled from the grenade.

When we blew the big lead at home to Seattle (Mayers gave up the 3R HR to Moore) that was REALLY the end. In this kind of season that was a MUST win series, at the very LEAST, if not a must sweep. We lost two of three to an inferior team and I knew that was it.
