Hawk gonna sue

It's such a horrible allocation of resources, though. They would have been better off just not spending that money on relievers and the Melky Cabreras of the world.

Something as simple as "I've talked to him" or "I'll talk to him" would help make it look like he's not a complete detached boob without exposing Crochet to anything. Better yet would him being actually aware of what happened and able to defend his player + deflect any blame off Crochet and hold umpires accountable for kicking someone out during a damn rain delay, but that's way too much to expect from Grifol.

Maybe, oh I don't know, go talk to your pitcher about it and find out? Make sure you're on the same page and understand him? Is there something else driving his anger (besides just sucking ass as a team)?

A tall fire-balling White Sox lefty with anger issues? Never had one of those before...

I don’t mind Nastrini taking his lumps and seeing if we have anything with him. What makes it worse is this team can’t score any damn runs, so every run pitchers give up is magnified.

MAN DICK

2 run single by Julks but Eloy hurt

If Vaughn could run it's 2-0. Terrible at-bat by DeJong too.

Cease getting crushed against the Braves. 5 runs so far in 2 2/3rds innings.

That's what bad teams do

I'll never get tired of winning against that dickhead Naylor

Crochet is flat out nasty man. Such a boneheaded move to throw him in the bullpen.

It's weird to see people dumping on anyone trying to squeeze any last bit of enjoyment or hope out of this miserable season. Just let people be optimistic about that small bit of hope left in the bottom of Pandora's box. Sheesh.

Thorpe (starter) has a 1.01 ERA in AA and was MiLB Pitcher of the Year last year. Iriarte (starter) has a 1.46 ERA in AA. Samuel Zavala (CF/RF) is struggling in A+ but is still only 19.

I don't want to get anyone too excited, but I think this team might just be putrid, and not worst of all time.

Man I miss that guy, especially when he shoves it up the Cubs' behind

Let's sweep 'em again!

Can he throw strikes with it? No. The answer is no.

Add "continue" after "gonna". Happy now?

The error sucked, and Pedro is awful, but this bullpen is a leaking gas can with a roaring bonfire next to it. They're gonna need to figure out how to bring some stability to it or they're gonna struggle to win every day.

Woof

This is probably just a move for Charlotte, but I wonder if they're running out of patience with Vaughn.

Boy the Rays are really playing like crap this year
