Way to lose yet another very winnable game.  At home, no less.

Sigh!

[Western SD Fan]

It doesn't matter now.  I was thinking, geez, it would have been nice to have a pinch runner for Caratini right now.

[h2oface]

Defense sure helps our sucky pitching be even worse.

Maybe not!

Tough one to lose… But tomorrow is another day! Let’s go hard tomorrow night!

[Western SD Fan]

I'm not sure Cole Sands is the answer, but I have more faith in him than I do Lawrence.  I hope Sands comes off the IL soon.

[SteveLV]

Plenty of blame to go around for that dismal loss.  Not as bad as 8-0, but still not good.

It's been awhile since he's been the answer to anything positive.

Varland ‘s 0.28 means something ……

I'm partial to OPS-against, just as I like OPS for batters as a quick measure.  Correlates well to run scoring, normalizes quicker over a season than ERA.  Varland's OPS-against is .503.

That must mean something, too. 
 

They both mean a horrible fan unfriendly, team unfriendly, unnecessary bullpen crippling final straw trade.

Varland's OPS-against is almost as low as OUTman's OPS-for.  Imagine a pitcher who turns the average hitter practically into James Outman.  Yes, it means something.  😁

Would you be curious what SWR's OPS-against is?  😁  He turns the average hitter into Juan Soto.

Is it higher or lower than Lawrence?

Lawrence should have never bern traded for by the Twins. GM Zoll is in the deep end of the swimming pool and cannot swim. 

[David HK]

What a thoroughly dispiriting, disappointing, disgusting loss.  

One big hate sandwich served up to the fans, courtesy of the incompetent FO and uninterested players.  What the hell is a guy like Lawrence is being willingly acquired for any price?  And then put into a tie game as his debut? Is there anyone in the FO or the dugout with a lick of sense?

And lest I go on a rant about the brain farts between the lines, not recognizing Baseball 101, nor playing hard at all times- that is simply unforgivable for a struggling team like this one. 

Unforgivable.
