    That’s odd.  Maybe there is a reason they aren’t using Devo that way anymore. 

    Yes, it is extremely odd especially when you consider our starters are going way deeper into games than the starters did last year.  It's not like the bullpen is pitching a ton of innings early like they did last year.  An extra inning for Devo yesterday would have meant fuck all.

  2. Maybe Beltran was the key last year after all.  He is well known to be one of the best sign stealers in the game so maybe he could also pick up pitcher tendencies and relay them to the hitters even from the bench.  Seems like last year we seemed to always know what pitch was coming and this year we can't guess right for shit.

    funny that people want to crucify Hinch for using Harris in the 9th (with a switch hitter and a couple of RHHs due up) given that Harris has been substantially better than Devo against RHH.

    Devo gets through Didi, Stanton and Sanchez and you want to yank him for Walker, Andujar and Hicks?  Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

    I know he very well may be a classic quad-A guy, but how much longer can we give Gattis ABs when White is obliterating AAA pitching (.337/.456/.641)? Yes, it's his 3rd stint in AAA and he's 27, but it's not like Gattis has ever been that good - and he's been an utter mess this year. Hell, White was better at the major league level than Gattis was last year anyway (albeit in a small sample). Offense needs a spark - surely someone could use a DL trip...

    I have to admit I am 100% embarrassed to admit I was happy when we resigned Gattis in the offseason.  I was of the "don't rock the boat, we need 3 'catchers'" mentality.  I can't GM for shit, but I can still manages as long as someone puts a lineup card that I filled out three hours earlier in front of me as a reminder before I start making my brilliant stratergic moves.

    I think I may have figured it out as well... my 3 yo hasn’t had his orbit doll since before the season started now that I think about it.  Thinking maybe it made it’s way to his mother’s house... I’ve got to solve this problem before 8:40 tomorrow night.

    Naaaaah, that ain't it.  Outfield needs to get rid of that faggoty ass "Fortnite Dance" and go back to the "Put your right foot in, then jump" routine.

    I mean it's the outfield that's killing us so obviously it's their fault.  Altuve and Correa keep doing their regular celebration routine and they doing half ass ok.

    I've said it for years. If you are in the middle class, even the upper reaches of the middle class, or below, if you vote for Republicans you are voting against your own interests and helping people who want to do nothing more than distribute wealth upward.

    It's really sad.

    I’ve asked my right wing associates why they are so quick to give their money to the rich?  They usually say it’s better than giving it to the government.  How about giving it to neither?

    Take a deep breath and remember this team is:

    A. In first place

    B. Two games off of the pace from last year while not playing all that well

    C. The defending world champs

    Last year’s team had an unmatched killer instinct in clutch situations.  This year’s constantly shits the bed when the pressure is on.

    Dude. You don't remember this happening last year?

    Our bullpen is the biggest weakness on this team.

    Better that this happens now than later.

    Loss in May counts the same as a loss in September.
