It has come to my attention that the offense is not hitting.

Also of note, our pitchers faced a lot of batters.

The defense was sub-standard.

Yea the pop up to short right that was in the air about 9 minutes and managed to fall in between Gasper France and Kiersey is not something I need to see again.  That was quickly followed up by Bader air mailing a throw to a player that didn’t exist.  It’s a real problem with this org.

I almost felt bad for the fielders. I wondered how much the team actually spends on fly ball and ground ball practice. It was an embarrassing display of baseball today. If you watched the game you know this one wasn't on the pitchers.

You and Linus said it better than me.  I wanted to be brief in order not to be too much of downer at this early stage.
