They don’t have potential. This lineup is absolute trash.

Some massive BABIP luck for Giolito that inning

If a pitcher has any talent at all and doesn’t throw him a hanger he has zero chance. If he doesn’t make massive changes to his approach it was a fun month or so but he won’t hit again other than an occasional home run he runs into.

I also don’t think that was enforced properly. He didn’t block the plate and he clearly had possession of the ball before Andrus got there. Insane call.

Easily the best group of talent the USA has ever had and the gap between the USA and the other teams in CONCACAF from a talent perspective is massive right now. I'm hopeful that even though I really really dislike Berhalter, because I don't think he is a total joke as a coach (although he clearly isn't good and it is insane he is getting a second World Cup cycle when that often ends poorly) that the talent carries the day. He also better repair the relationship with Reyna or he needs to go because Reyna when healthy is a huge difference maker.

Yep. Burger looks like a bottom of the order guy right now. He makes some really hard contact and is dangerous but his approach is beyond horrendous and he has been absolutely dreadful in June. If you don't hang a breaking ball to him he has zero chance right now.

Bringing in Pollock is just such a laughable decision. That dude is totally washed and has been complete and total garbage against LHP this year.

With an assist from the ump on that at bat against Ford. First pitch wasn’t remotely close to being a strike and pitch 3 was borderline at best.

USA just totally outclassed Mexico tonight. Sad that Berhalter is coming back but maybe even he doesn’t suck enough to ruin this group (I’m hoping anyways). Mexico was absolute trash tonight with as dirty of play as you’ll ever see. And is there a more awful group of fans than Mexico soccer fans? They need to start docking Mexico points in tournaments, banning Mexico fans from games and fining the Mexico soccer federation significantly if they can’t stop the chants and ridiculous behavior.

I’m shocked that Elvis Andrus has been terrible and should have never been brought back. Well not that shocked

Reports that Berhalter is set to return. Absolutely absurd.

Wait so Graterol was available and you are going to use him anyways and Roberts went second inning Almonte and then Vesia? Roberts does so many unbelievably dumb things.

Why on earth would Dave Roberts leave a horrendous pitcher in for a second inning

Yep. Solid in 2020 and really good in 2021 but this is the danger of signing free agents in their 30s

That was terrible by everyone on the team. Frazier should have hit the cutoff man there, Yaz can’t let it get past him and Santos didn’t back up the play.

Sanchez seems like he has zero baseball instincts.

This Tigers lineup is full of laughably bad players. A bunch of below replacement level players. Without Greene there is zero talent.

Torkelson is a really awful baseball player.

Did the Tigers really pinch hit with Tyler Nevin? How laughably terrible is your roster if you have someone that you think is a worse option at the plate than Tyler Nevin.

Clevinger getting by on pure luck the last two innings (that and Tigers employing Jake Marisnick for some reason). Tigers starting to tee off on him.

Incredibly predictable that Tyler Anderson would revert to being a below average pitcher after leaving the Dodgers, especially to go to the Angels where pitchers that aren’t absolute studs seem to go to die.

Not facing the Guardians and Royals lineups tonight

They really haven’t. Bad defense and luck

And they wouldn’t have scored at all if not for an error.

Giolito would have been knocked out of this game already by a real offense
