Trout’s single is the highlight of the game for me, even more so than Jo’s HR

Hey, there’s Josh Lowe striking out. Another great Minassian pick up.

I truly wonder if Perry thought he was getting Brandon Lowe

Or even Nate Lowe.

3-horse race for the first manager fired was won by Joey Cora. Rob Thomson placed and Carlos Mendoza showed. Exacta box paid $2.89

I think this is finally the day we see where this season is heading. All the elements of failure have come together

Has anyone heard anything about Soriano since he was removed from the game the other day.

He’s in the dugout in a uniform so I assume he’s OK

I wouldn’t assume that. We’ll see the next time he pitches.

Fair enough. I listened to every pitch of every game and I’ve never heard our announcers mention anything, of course, that goes to the seriousness and quality of our announcing team.

There is no reason for the catcher to stay in the game. In addition to not making a difference in this game, he’s just not very good anyway.

This will be 6 out of the last 7.

I’m wondering what was the highlight of the season. 2-0? 6-5? 11-11? Each of those gave up hopium

I never had any. The roster wasn’t improved and other than the pitching coach neither was the staff.

I think people were pretty pumped after the Yankee series even though we split.

Small sample size. As you recall, we threw away the two games we lost and so that was a bad omen in my mind.

Everyone talks about Neto being a superstar, but I’m really not seeing it. He’s hitting low 200’s and seems to make an error every time I look up.

My fear is that he’s Fletcher 2

At least Fletch hovered around .300. Didn’t hit many homers, but did get on base quite a bit. He didn’t strike out much.

He’s one of our top three players, but he does not deserve one of those big contracts they are handing out.

Him being one of our top 3 players tells you all you need to know. We’re screwed.

Neto is good just needs to be removed from lead off, Suzuki-san has an open action

Neto is a very good player. A 5 WAR player at 22 and 23, but he’s not a star, at least so far and he is not nearly as good defensively as some people think.

How can Anderson have a position on a ML roster? Does he have pictures of Manfred with a farm animal on Epstein’s island?

Minasian.

Since we can’t hit unless the starting pitching keeps us in, we are usually done quite early.

And now we got the gas can man bun out there. Waving white flag equivalent.

He is that pitcher that I hate seeing in the game, we’ve got a guy just like him every year and he’s never very good. Eventually, he gets DFA. Another U/O for Alan to set up would be the date that that happens.

I haven’t really noticed that Trout’s BA has dropped 20 points and his OPS 68 points since his Yankee series.

AllenB

That’s because he’s back. Remember they’ve been saying that? It’s a distraction so you don’t notice he’s hitting .225 and striking out a bunch.

MarineLayer

At this point, he is a streaky injury prone aging player. He can be beaten with the up and in every time.

Schanuel is quickly working his way back to the minors. It’s ok though. He’s never really been there for any decent length of time.

To me, he is a space filler. There is no way he should get a contract when his arbitration years ran out.

Niko is a AAAA player but I think that’s better than Nolan right now. Is he on the 40 man?

Our bad minor-league system is Nolan‘s job security.

Nolan needs to kick it up a notch or demote his ass.

You’re right. They’re making a lot of money so at the end of the day that’s really all they care about with a few exceptions.
