That sure didn't start or end well.

The middle was sort of ok though

Biggest red flag out of this game is that Pablo continues to be just average.  He's our #3 guy right now.

Just switched to the Rangers and jinxed Valdez.

Framber Valdez loses no-hitter with 2 out in the 9th as Corey Seager takes him deep for a 2-run HR.

Audra reports that Kepler has been sent to his hotel room with NO DINNER for not backing up Martin in that bad inning.

Theyre trying a new approach.

It's not an argument at all.

It's basic common sense.

He'll just order room service. 

Now if they'd taken his meal money, now that would've been something.

Yeah, I guess it’s another one of “our things” we just accept as unfixable at this point, but the continued handing out of free bases needs to stop before October.

Except there’s an accepted norm in the game that if you make enough mental mistakes, you don’t get to play the game for a spell. 
 

Now, Willi got a “talking to” after that Yankees series. And the team still has more brain farts than I see our opponents have.

Maybe time for a new tactic then?

Or manager. It starts with him.

I just don't see an aspect of managing a team where is even average.   I rate him below average at: line-up construction, bullpen usage, situational management, pinch-hitting substitutions, showing emotion when needed, etc.

Amen! Why he gave the game away when we were only down by 2 is beyond me. Someone may want to remind Rocco we are in a pennant chase and now is not the time to play everyone.
