mmmmmbeeer

This is quite a cautious sequence. I like it.

Hot take——Jose is relieved by the end of his hitting streak and is just going up to the plate to mash, again.

I know he had the RBI double on the bailout swing earlier but I’m so sick of watching Mazara bat. He’s just awful. No confidence, panics with 2 strikes, takes too many good pitches. Just infuriating to see a guy that big, who we know can knock the cover off the ball, be so clueless in AB after AB after AB.

Obviously Adam should be batting here, right?

I need to change my panties.

I get holding Nomar there but there’s also such a thing as being entirely too conservative. Especially when we only have 1 hit on the night.

11-6 3-0 vs. Tigers 2-2 vs. Twins 2-1 vs. Reds 2-2 vs. Indians 2-1 vs. Cubs

For the record, we were down 5 and looked like shit against Berrios, who appeared to be on his game tonight. Berrios is at 100 pitches after 6. We have 3 innings against their pen, who is likely without a key piece Romo. We have a stacked line-up that has proven to play well 7th inning and on. So what does fucking Sleepy do? Bring in goddamn Cordero for the, what, 6th time in 6 or 7 days? And, as we all knew would happen, Cordero officially puts the game out of reach. Ricky needs to go before the open of the 2021 season.

A lot of nasty sliders. His ball has been dancing most of the game.

Clearly to send Foster down to get more reps in Shaumburg being we have Jimmy Cordero's super arm pitching every night.

As pissed as I am, Berrios is throwing a pretty damn good game. He is the ace of their staff, against our guy who is about to be DFA'd (hopefully). Wasn't really expecting a dub tonight.

Are you fucking kidding me? Cordero?

I'm starting to think Grandal is not synching with this staff.

There's an NBA game 7 on tonight, at least.

This is ridiculous.

Outside of Jose, there's no one in this lineup I'd rather see up with a man in scoring position.

As much as I can't fucking stand the guy, do you remember how many dumb plays Yolmer would make? Mr. Gold Glove? I just can't stand these self-anointed experts on a message board calling people busts or overrated after, literally, like 10-15 ML games in their young careers. New fields, new hitters, new lighting, general nerves/anxiety as a new guy...you name it, he's still adjusting.

He graded out at 60 on both fielding and running....by people who scouted him extensively. He's played in, what, 10-15 ML games? A little early for "very overrated", imo.

This one, yet again, you could pin on Ricky without much of a stretch. Absolutely no reason to bring a struggling Cordero into a 1 run game in the 6th. His ERA is now over 5 with a WHIP nearing 1.5. Blatant mismanagement, again. oh, and Ricky...don’t think we didn’t notice you had your boy Yolmer on deck behind Mazara.

Tuned in late but see DK was pulled after 85 pitches and 1 run? Is he hurt or did he just look bad his last inning?

He pulled the ball in the 9th. Haven’t seen much of that. I’m hopeful.

We’re just starting to catch glimpses of what Robert is going to become. He talked about “slumping”, which we all recognized, to an extent. Now? 3 barrels and a GWHR yesterday. A dong and two critical RBI today. This dude is about to take the baseball world by storm.

Yolmer coming back will cost this team because Ricky loves him. Y’all can disagree with me tonight but just watch...it’s going to cost us

I respectfully disagree. I get where you’re coming from but when a run is needed, I liked Dyson there. Yolmer is no threat to steal.

Robert came through but Ricky potentially cost us the winning run by putting in his old buddy Yolmer instead of Dyson, who could have stole second
