  1. Without checking the actual numbers, I suspect our 6-9 guys can only dream of such a run.
  2. Glad college football is about to crank up. Maybe we'll get some hard contact there.
  3. We left 11 on base. Our only hit with RISP (in 9 tries) was that swinging "bunt" by Pena. Cabbage left 4 in scoring position all by himself, which is impressive with only 2 ABs. But hey, I'm sure Kyle the Gimp will fix everything when he returns to PH on Sept. 29.
  4. If ever a team deserved to be getting their heads kicked in, it's these guys. What a bunch of underperforming clowns. I do feel bad for Brown.
  5. These teams seem to think this is match play golf. Each is trying to end up with the lower score.
  6. If this were opening day, we might struggle to win 60...while lacking a wave of young talent to develop in the process. If that's not discouraging, I don't know what is.
  7. I'll say this: We're a really balanced club. Our relief pitching is every bit as unclutch as our offense, our manager and our front office.
  8. For anyone who still thinks we're just "slumping," tell me which .200 hitter with little power, even less plate discipline and a noodle arm is going to lead us out of these doldrums. At some point, how you play is who you are. For better or worse, call up more kids and give them a go.
  9. Absolutely not. But without the guys who are about to become FAs, along with the DFA disasters, it will at least be a different train wreck than this one. Maybe we sign a decent FA bat, some farmlands make a jump in winter ball, we get good news on an injured starter or two and I can tell myself we're on the road to being really solid again. Or not.
  10. My perspective so far this year seems to have had little impact. Might be better to suggest the batters act like men.
  11. The bloated carcass of a proud dynasty is washing ashore. Can't quite see it yet, but the stench is obvious. When do pitchers and catchers report to Palm Beaches?
  12. They PH their .181 guy and he at least coaxes a walk. Our talentless hacks can't even do that. keep Leon in the lineup. Unlike several other guys, he actually seems to have a clue.
  13. Until further notice, Joe needs to give Pena the take sign...on literally every pitch. Much better odds of reaching base.
  14. Yordan contributing bases-empty singles isn't the cure for this malaise. When was the team's last 4-hit inning? During the pandemic?
  15. No Houston jury would convict.
  16. In a world of brain-dead players, we're apparently trying to corner the market. It's as if several guys have nonrefundable October cruises planned.
  17. Lowes are 7 for 10 with 5 driven in. Not even taking two surnames to wipe us out.
  18. Wouldn't argue with that. We need way more offense to overcome that obvious shortfall. Which makes it even more painful fielding an offense reminiscent of the Astrodome era.
  19. Water seeks its own level. These days, our level appears to be just a hair over .500.
  20. Lowe blow has us down. How about we start scoring runs?
  21. Yes, still too early for any "son of TOOTBLAN" thoughts.
  22. I'm even more annoyed than I was at the deadline. Something better start going right pronto.
  23. Find a way to scratch out more runs — especially late — and the pressure on everyone on the staff would ease a lot. We're scoring nearly a half run per game less than in 2023, which is a big dropoff. So it's been an especially bad year to lose most of our starting staff and have setup/closer issues. Our best hope is for a miraculous Tucker return (soon) and for the current 1-4 guys to get insanely hot.
  24. Given where we are, I think we'll overachieve if we win 90 counting the postseason.
