maloney.adam Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) It’s really frustrating. We couldn’t take advantage of Houston losing today. Makes you think that TLR doesn’t care about HFA in the playoffs. Edited September 9, 2021 by maloney.adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankchifan Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 On 9/9/2021 at 4:02 AM, South Side Hit Men said: I was told I was an "amateur" for not considering his sprint speed as an indication he is a good outfielder. He was fine as a NRI mid season signing, but he really is a AAAA player, good enough to show signs he can be on a roster, but not a starter in important games. He seems to only do this with his catchers, rarely takes out Abreu or others even in 10 + run games. When he rests his starters, they may as well wear pajamas, as he will rarely if ever insert them even to pinch hit late in a tie/1 run game. Expand Right on with TLR managing moves that leave a lot to be desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 It is so frustrating the amount of games we have looked like shit since the all-star break. It really has put a damper on the last couple of months. I feel like I have been on auto pilot as a fan just like the team with just not caring that much about these games.

maloney.adam Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 The problem is it may take some time for everyone to get on the same page when they are all healthy and in the lineup.
