We keep challenging our opponents best hitters: Buxton, Ramirez, Naylor, Judge, Stanton and we are paying a big prize. We seem unwilling or unable to pitch around these guys. TLR didn’t get the memo of not letting these guys beat us.

Sure but he’ll intentionally walk Pujols.

Good thing Tony saved the A relievers for tonight

This was one of those games that seemed such an easy choice to pick NY it almost looked like a sucker bet.

Leury misplaced that of course...shouldn't have been a double.

And then Abreu's having to make another difficult scoop play.

Anderson could have taken that ball on the fly and had a DP.

They should have added someone other than Velazquez to get the caliber pitcher of Rodon. Don’t give me that shit that Kopech replaced Rodon, a team that cared about winning would have replaced someone of Rodon’s caliber. Especially if he makes it through the regular season and playoffs.

Wacha was the only one in their price range who has come close to putting up those numbers.

“Price range.” The money will be spent, remember? We all talked about the luxury tax and how they still had some money left. They must really just want a middling team they are disguising as one that is competing for multiple championships. Talk about misinformation.

Just not an overly talented team this year compared to the top teams. Blame Hahn for a horrible offseason.

They weren't good enough last year either, and with the roster inflexibility/lack of surplus value on contracts, it's hard to see how they ever will get there. 

I hate to break it to you, Rodon wouldn't help this team much either. Starting pitching has been the team's biggest strength. The offense and bullpen are problems. I find it funny how that works given the discourse in the offseason.

The money was spent, just poorly.

Sure. Blame is on him. But the blame is also on the players and their shitty performance and on the octogenarian who wants to take money to his grave. Asshole.

Hahn's hands are tied by JR. We will never be a premier franchise and have it run as a major market team until JR is gone and we have a new owner.
