This team sucks. Single, strike out, strike out, pop out.. we have the most inconsistent lineup and offense ever and somehow we are 2 games out. Fucking infuriating.

I'm actually really mad at Dusty for PHing Diaz now.

Maldy apologists will point to Diaz going 0-1

To the Maldy apologists.

Look up Diaz’s stats when he’s in the fucking game  

Thanks for stopping by  

 

If we keep sputtering along and flame out in October (if not before), I'm probably going to be irked about losing Clifford. Hopefully it doesn't come to that. 

Dusty has no interest in winning the division. Verlander and Framber will start the first 2 wild card games. Maldy will catch both games with Diaz on the bench.

Just got finished recording the pod. It’s very Pg for the first 19 episodes. Episode 20 will have an explicit tag on it. It’s full on surly venting of the spleen for the first 10 or 15 minutes. If you haven’t listened before and want to hear someone barely able to hold onto a thin reed of sanity check it out. 
Thanks in advance. I’m going to go stick my head in the oven right now.

3.5 games out, don't see us catching Texas.  Don't really want Minnesota in the early round, the curse of Vasquez.

this fight is long from over. If we can just produce at the plate to career averages, we crush people 

If we clinch a playoff spot but can’t catch the Rangers, it’s time to rest everyone except Maldy. That fat fuck can catch every worthless game.

The 6 seed is the way to go.

Well, we recorded this one after the 8th inning of the game last night and I came in a little bit on Dusty and MM with a bit of a rant. Also, talked about Altuve brilliance and possible extensions, singleton, France/Brown and the rotation going forward and closing thoughts on Ohtani. Listen, share and enjoy

That was a damn fine rant.  In previous seasons, I’ve been OK with Dusty sticking with St. Maldy because we didn’t have a distinctly better option at catcher.   Completely different story this year.  It really is indefensible.  You may have a slight pitchers’ revolt, but they’d get over it quickly if their catcher kept putting up a 1.000+ OPS while not leading the league in PBs.  

And JV better never bitch about run support when he insists on Dubon over Chas and Maldy over Yainer.  

We need Altuve getting four hits every game, so hopefully he hits #2000 tonight

790 was going in hard on Dusty this morning at the 10 o'clock hour. The sports radio hosts have finally had enough of the Dusty bullshit.

I’m sure @Wulaw Horn can come up with a host of other stats that also reinforces how indefensible Dusty is being with the C position. When does Dana Brown put an end to this farce and step in and demand more playing time for Diaz? He needs to flex his power and put an end to this insanity. There is no way Luhnow would have put up this shit as long as Dana if he stepped in to this situation today. Luhnow never would have hired a moron like Dusty who has nothing but contempt for Luhnow’s analytic genius.

I mean i said this 3 months ago and got reamed here because "what do you expect him to do???"

Like I said then....his job

I give Dana a pass on Maldonado for this year. I’m certain that Dusty has been provided all the data. They are choosing to start Maldy to avoid the hurt feelings on the starting staff and I’m certain Dusty believes he has final say on the lineups/on-field decisions for the regular season.

I won’t give Dana a pass if Maldy is brought back next year in any capacity. Go find an Erik Kratz or anyone else. There should be an experienced backup catcher available who can avoid generating negative WAR.

It’s cranes job to fix this. He’s the one who set up the dysfunctional org chart and has Dusty accountable to nonFM, nor the nerd cave, but instead only Crane. 
It needs to be fixed but that doesn’t seem like Crane made it part of Browns job description.

It’s cool that the pitchers love throwing to Maldy and all, but throwing to him results in worse performance and more losses. So…I don’t know, maybe prioritize winning over pitchers’ superstitions or incorrect perceptions or whatever? Call me crazy.

Dusty is actively sabotaging the team. It feels like a crime is being committed.

I have been banging the Luke Maile drum for over a month. $1.8M this season for the Reds. Currently sporting a .760 OPS in 53 games as the Reds backup, also +5% over league average in CS, 12 PB+WP, and -1.4 framing runs.

If this was little league, Maldy would have to play at least 1 inning every game.

Him coming back could turn Yainer into a 1 day a week guy as he will suck up all the DH opportunities against RHP and we all know Dusty doesn't believe Yainer can hit LHP.  It's a net loss for us if he comes back, unless Yainer is forced onto the field by the FO as a catcher and a 1B.

In a couple of days he will stop swinging a bat again.

Brantleys dad told his son quit being a pussy finally?

Today is a good day.  Today is pretzel day.  Cue Stanley GIF and Astros lineup today.  

So win by double digits and forget about yesterday... Hmmm

What’s going on here? 
 

Yainer gets to catch Javier.

I still don’t understand why Chas hits behind Diaz and Singleton, but that’s only a small complaint.
