You would think people would realize in baseball, even the good teams are going to lose a lot of games, and they are going to have losses that are ugly like this one. It happens - you move on and know that in the long run of the season, the talent prevails and this team has that (its why they have the record they do).

I did not see that in his scouting report when we signed him. Not the first time he loses focus and quits on the play. Unacceptable. Yep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Struck out 13 times against 5 pitchers. Nicks shitty base running cost them nothing. Moncada wasnt going to drive him in. Tyler flowersesque ending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you throw a guy out there every day when he's not meant to be, why would you expect good results? Cordero isn't great, but what exactly is the alternative?

Edit: Read fathom's post and forgot about the crap with the Dodgers... especially catching the ball in that playoff series. Ugh. Last week when he was too busy looking into the dugout while the ball was going past him at home plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnetennba Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Blame Grandal for the lazy drop, but the whole squad lost this one. Bad pen, stupid base running, terrible ABs in big spots, lazy nonchalant lackadaisical defense, stupid managerial decisions. They did not play like they were ready at all.

Mokena94 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Grandal has not been impressive as a catcher most of this season, seems slow and lazy. McCann should be catching most days, and I would sure rather see Grandal at DH over EE. I also think the Mazara experiment needs to be put on hold - I have never seen a player watch more good pitches go by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Deep Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I do not mind losing but you can't lose games like tonight. Evan Marshall was brutal tonight. Throwing pitches right down the middle on 2 strike counts. Jimmy Cordero has no clue where the ball is going. Grandal was just putrid on defense and calling pitches tonight. The team lost focus tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
