Can we stop with the we are a contending team bullshit now? We have 2 good starters and 2 good relievers and a lineup that has too many slap hitters with a manager that doesn't know how to manage to that style.

We're a half game out

Dana:

Zach: don't know the extent of his injury. got imaging this morning. will get results during the game.   (or in 2 months after a BP session...)

Chas thinks it's more like a 2 week oblique tops, not normal 4 weeks. didn't feel sore this morning. thinks he'll be back when 10 day stint is up

Yordan: felt relieved it's healing; "the early muscle strain he had in his hand, and for him trying to play through that muscle strain, I think he caused maybe a little more damage, and fractured, a very small fracture in his hand. The fact that he knows now. He feels a lot better about it. He see a light at the end of the tunnel"

tough to put a timetable on it right now.  will be no activity with the bat until no pain, when he's almost 100%.

Anything you'd do differently looking back on it:  "when he had the first injury with the muscle strain, we shouldn't have let him fight through that because he said it wasn't normal pain in his hand.....at that point maybe we should have shut him down for a week and see how he felt instead of letting him fight through it can cause more damage"

Dezenzo hurt his hand 

Means we won't see him again until August 2026 at the soonest even though I did read somewhere that the medical staff was going to try this new technology called leeches to help with inflammation ,

Strike three looking might be the most infuriating thing in baseball.

By itself pretty bad, when you have runners on 1st and 3rd with no outs, and your next three batters either can't put the ball in play or hit it all of 110+ feet is damn near as bad as it gets.

Walls goes nuts against the ump. and gets ejected during his AB. Good times.

I don't blame him. I was reading his lips, and at no point did he call the ump a "cocksucker." Shouldn't have been ejected.

solid 7-3 home stand 

We were outscored 44-45 on the homestand. That isn't sustainable. We have scored in double figures the same amount of times all season that the Rays did this weekend.

I don’t know what to make of the Rays scoring 21 runs against the pen in 2 games.

They've got our number.

How does everyone else stack up?

Ort had really bad outings in those 2 games giving up 8 runs in 1 1/3 and Whitley struggled giving up 7 in 2 2/3 which is 15 of those 21 runs.  

I have no idea as to whether this was just a bad weekend for those two or if that is who they are at this level.  Ort's numbers right now track with most of his career numbers so he might just be that guy who fills in middle innings and takes a beating.  Hoping Forrest is more than that and his sample size is very small as this time, but he is 27y so he needs to make the most of these situations.

The bullpen isn't the biggest concern for me as it is that 3/5's of your starting rotation is only going to give you 3-5 innings a start right now.  Seriously, Lance has been the most "consistent" of the back part of the rotation and if you take out the numbers from the Cincy start he has only given up 5 earned runs in the other 4 starts since he has come back to the team. Problem is that he has only gone 18 innings in those 4 starts which means going to the bull pen early and often.

Gordon has been good for ~5 in 3 of his 4 starts, but he also has given up 13 runs in those 19 2/3 so you are depending upon the offense and the bull pen.

I know Gusto was a bullpen guy originally and would help in that area again, but who else do you put in the rotation right now?  He has given them 1 start over 5 out of 6 starts (which somehow he only gave up 1 to the Padres in 5 2/3) and much like Gordon he has consistently given up 2-3 runs each game in that limited amount of innings. 

Not sure what moves they can make to stabilize that rotation because even if they get Spencer back he wasn't a 6+ inning guy last year.

losing 1-0 or 19-0 only counts as one L

He's made 5 starts, it is evern worse, though his last start he went 6, so hopefully that becomes more of the norm that the 3 IP average he was giving the team in the other 4 starts.
