Sox80 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Nice how banks can be sent back out yet foster can't? I wonder what the players think about the constant terrible decisions game after game? How can they seriously care at this point when it's doesn't seem like leadership does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollock and Harrison were clearly candidates for regression and Sheets was lightning in a bottle like the first seasons for Palka and Delmonico. But nobody expected Grandal to completely fall off a cliff offensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta justify that 18 million If DK is announced as starter again in a home game, fans should boycott the game, and let him pitch to an empty stadium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is NOT happening under the current owner. It only happens if LaRussa walks away from this himself, which seems unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask him. And now at nearly 80 friggen years old he is also the most stubborn man in the room. He is going to ride DK and Grandal and Harrison and Garcia until the wheels completely fall off. I mean they have to start producing sooner or later. Unfortunately he’s not the only one that thinks we should keep pitching DK. I wish he was the only one, then I could claim a grip on my sanity.

reiks12 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) This could have been the game we needed. Down 6-0, looking like another laugher, and Vaughn comes in and pumps up the team and gets the crowd rocking. 7-5, full momentum on our side. What does TLR do? Brings in a player from AAA to come in and give up 4 runs. This organization is just so laughably bad I can't even believe it.

Banks brought in to pitch only down 2 runs, now he is still pitching 58 pitches later, and we are down 6 runs now. TLR throws in the towel when we are only down two, and let’s the game get out of hand. Not going all out to keep the game close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
