Right now neither of them are doing shit at the plate. So yes.

True but in light of having a new, hyped pitching coach, we should expect an immediate turnaround.

That's over the top, even for me.

That was weird but I'll take it.

It many times takes that kind of time. People don't seem to know that anymore.

People need to realize guys like Robert and Madrigal are in their first full seasons. More likely next year is the do or die season. People expecting WS contention this year are simply thinking best case scenario only. Not realistic. No patience.

It still has a screen on it.

In theory they could have been. Judging things in hindsight is fallacious. Even if Cease does ok this year, we absolutely should have sought another starter. I want to win in the playoffs, not just make it there. But talent aside, you still need depth to make it there and we don't have any.

Our bad defense has nothing to do with the obvious fact we needed at least one more solid SP. There is zero correlation between those 2 things.

Listening to my father in law call him a prima dona and say he's not as good as people think. Lol.

Serious question? Am assortment of other solid SP were available and for trade. Paxton being one primary example. One year rentals would have been a good strategy in this case. Lastella and Gonzalez were easily and readily available. Going into the season with Rodon/Lopez competing for the 5th slot was inexcusable.

To also be fair, you need to spend money on decent SP that can easily be had for decent prices and have some depth to your roster.

Ding ding ding. IMHO, I think the rebuild was just a ruse. There was never intention of building a legit WS contender. Because if there was, JR is an idiot.

That's not allowed around here, buddy!

This is so hard to watch. He could be so good if only he could have command.

Rodon is really gonna have to be serviceable this year. Not getting another SP might be this team's death knell.

Looks like it's past Tony's bedtime.

Well, poop. Guys can hit and pitch but still a lot of issues with this team to start.

TLR asleep at the wheel tonight. Pun not intended. I swear...

Of course Leury had to be up in the 9th

It just shouldn't have been Marshal.

Well, not the night we get over the West coast hump.

Dammit

Don't know why he is on the roster.

Beautiful.
