I thought to myself a couple of minutes ago, man are we snake bit. I can remember when we have had so much crap thrown at us, then I remembered last August. The difference of course is this year we are playing tougher teams in our division. Bregman cooling off is killing the team. |

Until Correa shows he deserves the Standing you are giving him. He has done nothing this year to deserve the 4th spot. Well, in reality, nobody on the team has been spectacular on the offense. A player here steps up for a game or two but when the chips are down Who has really stepped up. Like the Home Losing Streak, no one is Showing the Home crowd that they won't accept this in front of them. Correa hasn’t earned it yet? Just because he’s having a subpar season doesn’t mean expectations should be lowered. On that we both agree, all I was saying Correa along with Springer has taken most of the year off. Blame it on Injury or whatever. They better wake up soon or they will be looking at having to fight for the last Playoff Spot and going to NY. Which they will not Win this year MLB Umps will help to see to that. |

Multiple guys need to be on. |

You are correct, August is just making it personal. |

Stassi leading off the 8th. You could pinch hit for him. Look at the choices...Maldanado, Tucker and Fisher😩

Bregman cooling off is killing the team. when you are counting on just one guy you are in trouble. Multiple guys need to be on. One of these years maybe a Coach will sit a young player down and show him that going into the HR Derby isn't a good idea. Then again if the other three aren't doing anything it doesn't matter what he does. Springer wasn't getting on base regularly and then Correa wasn't driving them in. Gattis was hot for part of one month and Marwin has been more down than up. Reddick has been terrible most days. |

I think Osuna will help us out more than any other acquisition this year.
Playoffs bullpen of McHugh, Sipp, Smith, OSuna and Rondon will be hard to beat. Add McCullers and Peacock in that mix for long relief and we are in every game.
Our offense will be back with Kemp and White ready to play when we need them.

Power plays for me here.

Hinch is even trying to win this game letting Stassi hit. At least he should have had Tucker hit. Why the hell did they bring him up if he is only going to ride the bench?

Kemp needs to flip it over Seager.

Well that really sucks. Fisher terrible base running on Par with the rest of the team. Which coach needs his ass handed to him over this.
