    Boy did we get lucky tonight. Tried to give it away several times and just won anyway. I hope it continues. How do MLB players not know how many outs there are? Seriously. WAKE UP!!!~!

    Miranda shoud be the 3rd baseman. He is really improving there. He looks bad at first, and so does Arraez. Urshela is a replacement player, but sure has come up bigger than that several times this year. I sure wish we had a catcher that made us proud. Neither Jeffers or Sanchez do it for me. Lots of holes and lots of possibilities. Hard to know what you really have when they can't stay on the field in a non contact sport.

    Urshela didn't need any help. Some want Correa to be the guy soooooooo bad. Maybe he still will be. He is coming around the last two games. But he has 4 months to make up for.

    it is so weird that the delete option was taken away from us posters a while back, It gives us a chance to let us retract something.... moderate ourselves. Makes no sense to me to not have that option. Sometimes we can be emotional, and correct ourselves before someone else does. Seems that is what we should do.

    It appears yesterdays offense is not infectious.

    About time that Baldelli left the starter in in the 6th to finish a great start. And with a high pitch count. At least a couple of these guys can do it if Baldelli doesn't yank them. Most of the time they are only at 70 or 80something pitches, too. But he yanks them. Sure, many times it is in a close game, and that puts more pressure on the starter. But I am so sick of watching this weak pen come in and torch the game that the starter probably could have saved and finished the inning. I hope Baldelli learned something watching Ryan strikeout those last two batters after a couple guys got on base. I hope Baldelli doesn't forget that.

    ZACK!

    Ryan at 62 pitches and throwing a shutout.... better pull him after the 4th.
  9. h2oface
    Save Pagan for the 9th.

    Wood says "Really.... just leave me in?"

    Now we can use Duran when we need relief.
  12. h2oface
    THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!!!!! BREAK THE CHAIN.
  13. h2oface
    we can't even get a break on a WP that would score a run.
  14. h2oface
    some would call that middle middle pitch that Urshela struck out on a mistake......... but not to us.

    Houston catcher steals bases. Our catchers are lucky to get from 2nd to third on a single to the outfield. They got us right where they want us. Bases loaded and no outs.

    Joe Maddon!!

    Wasn't it Thielbar that came in Saturday in the 10th and gave up 2 immediate singles to give the Rangers a 3-2 lead - with Duran on the bench after having had a team day off on Thursday and only throwing 18 pitches (in the 7th with a 4-0 lead on KC) the day before on Wednesday, and on Friday only throwing 10 pitches in the 2-1 win against Texas - followed by Jax to give up a single and another run to the first batter he faced - and Duran still on the bench? That part of the roll? That was the start of the 6 game skid.....
  18. h2oface
    That was one of the excuses I chose not to add. It was pathetic that Duran wasn't used a couple times in that week, because he was needed, and Baldelli blew it and left him on the bench to save him "for tomorrow". His own fault. He saved them for so long he had to use Duran just to give him work as he needs to regularly pitch to stay sharp. Duran left on the bench after having had a team day off on Thursday and only throwing 18 pitches (in the 7th with a 4-0 lead on KC) the day before on Wednesday, and on Friday only throwing 10 pitches in the 2-1 win against Texas, and then not used in the 4-3 loss on Saturday that Thielbar and Jax combined to give up 2 with the score tied 2-2 in the 10th. Duran not used in the 2-1 loss to Texas on Monday after 2 day rest from his 10 pitch outing Friday (but Thielbar and Jax were successfully this time as they didn't give up any runs in the loss). I would say his was needed in both of those games......... and so it goes. Now he needed work after the not being used in Baldelli's mound visit debacle in game one with Houston on Tuesday and the game Wednesday when Fulmer let the lead go immediately from 2-1 to 5-1 in the 6th. So he needed work. Right.

    Carlos Correa. A leader? I'm not buying, All that talk, and it is him that needs to step up, not acquisitions he wanted (which all are struggling a bit). Duran in the 5th, behind by 2. Make all the excuses you want - I could too - but it is just nuts. Lopez in the 7th, and giving up 2 more hits? It seems he left it all in Baltimore and they were sneaky clever about how his year was going to end. Maybe Baldelli was just confused, and he thought it was 2020 and this was part of a 2 day double header and this game was only going to be 7 innings....... And maybe it is just how I look at relief, but on Saturday, it was Jax who came in in the 11th, and gave up a single to the first batter and let one of the two inherited runners score the 4th run, which turned out to be the winning run in another 4-3 heartbreaking loss to Texas. Was it charged to him? No. Was it a "scoreless appearance"? Also no. He has been good, but the whole story can be told as well.
  20. h2oface
    Baldelli has lost his mind. No excuse for having Duran in the game right no. None. Doesn't use him when needed and now in the 5th behind by 2. Just nuts.
  21. h2oface
    Ha.... not even two pages of comments. Looks like I am not the only one that is sick of this team at this point. Grrrrrrreat job Fulmer. I guess the new too many pitches is now less than 70 for the starter........
  22. h2oface
    Joe Maddon is available, now.
  23. h2oface
    I can't go to the games in Minnesota, but when they come to LA, I used to go to all of them. This year, I could only bring myself to go to one, and there were 5. Two at Dodger Stadium, and three at Angel Stadium. I wanted to see Ryan pitch, so I went to the first one. I had no interest in paying to see Bundy or Archer pitch, not much to see Mahle, and Gray would have been OK but it was Freddy Freeman bobblehead night, and the resale tickets spiked about 3 times in price. I actually would even had gone anyway, except they just look like they gave up in the first game, and I just lost interest. No reason to go be made to feel like a chump Twins' fan in public. May as well do it in the privacy of my home.

    You may be on to something. And you may not. Either way, I like your take. I think they team isn't that confused. I think they all know that he is a puppet manager, in general, and the FO is the defacto manager. What they do baffles me more than what Baldelli does. Their disregard for quality pitching and the necessity of it, is the biggest disconnect. I certainly don't think Baldelli has lost the team. I think they are all, players and staff and FO, a bit arrogant and over confident to keep saying, time afer time, "we are better than this". Talk is cheap. And doesn't score runs or get the opponents batters out. Time to **** or get off the pot. Prove it. Time is running out.

    "There's no explanation needed [for the struggles],” shortstop Carlos Correa said. “It's just poor baseball play by us. It's as simple as that. We're a lot better than that. We didn't execute. We didn't do our job, and that's that. There's no explanation for how poorly we played.” PROVE IT!
