I can't even watch this third inning-ending at bat by our number four hitter in the bottom of the fifth.  I might need a fifth of something shortly if we get shut out. 

Okay, I put away the vodka for tonight.  Yea for small victories.

Slacker…. I’m just getting started. I love retirement 😀

[USAFChief]

Wait a minute..

Pitching change??

I was ASSURED there was no possible way a manager could get a reliever warmed in the middle of a meltdown before current reliever implodes for 5 runs, an out, and a 2 minute delay for a lost glove over the wall on the first of TWO dingers given up.

What gives??

[Schmoeman5]

Julien from the cleanup spot

[MMMordabito]

Uh-oh, Peter, down by 1.

[Tlaker]

Humana humana

[Aggies7]

Braves Daily is livid with Snitker hate right now 

[USAFChief]

Well all right all right all right!

[Western SD Fan]

This is when you are in a slump, you get the runner over by any means necessary

Nope 

[LA Vikes Fan]

Lewis is now the official "easy out" in the lineup. Time to sit him for consecutive games so he can re-set. Play Miranda and Santana.  

[Aggies7]

Ain’t no way we’re gonna leave ol’ eddy out there at second are we

[OvertheHill]

Non competitive at bat by Kepler 

[USAFChief]

Kepler k's without ever seeing a strike 

[Aggies7]

As good as the first 4 batters of that inning were, that’s how bad the last 3 were

Ditto, Santana

[Aggies7]

Boy that’s as deflating as a rally could be 

[OvertheHill]

Uncharacteristic bad Santana AB. Got to hold them right here.

Pretty lousy three consecutive at-bats by Lewis, Kepler, Santana. All trying to hit a 3 run home-run. All 3 K's. 

[Schmoeman5]

3 K's. I think he may have had 1 pitch in the strike zone. WOW!

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Lewis is completely lost.

Kepler is....Kepler. This isn't 2019. He is who he is.

Santana, thought he'd come through.

[LA Vikes Fan]

Did you see Eddie shaking his head as he came off of the field? Did you also see Wallner yelling at someone in hte dugout to "get in the fu@***ing game?". These guys are getting very frustrated. 

By the way, Boston is winning tonight. Let's be honest, this team has very little chance of catching or passing Cleveland or KC with Buxton and Correa apparently out for most of the rest of the year.  The race to follow is whether we can stay ahead of Boston for the last Wild Card spot. 5 game lead going into today. Stay tuned . . .

A Snapper Shut ‘em Down Sands Inning

[OvertheHill]

Wow Sands holding the BP together right now. Him and Jax. 

[OvertheHill]

Another bad Jeffers AB
