    Would his thumb injury from late last year (same as Emmanuel Rodriguez, I think) typically have any lingering effects? Haven't heard it mentioned at all.

    I'll take the W...but dang, always interesting in the 9th with this collection. Glad I decided to watch the Knicks comeback instead of sweating through the end of this one. Buck's homer was a thing of beauty...he knew it was gone.

    Another infuriating loss on all fronts. I'm sensing a pattern here! Taj looked out of sorts from literally the first pitch. Not buying the humidity excuse at all... The Buxton 0-22 with RISP and 2 outs stat this season is mindblowing. Didn't Wallner set the record last season for fewest RBIs (40) with at least 20 homers? Buck currently has 19 homers and...29 RBI. 65% of all his RBIs this season are from HRs. He's gotta be on pace for the fewest RBIs with 40+ homers. Can't make it up.

    Credit where it's due - Vic Caratani stepped up and had a great week. I think he batted close to .400? Jackson had a couple of great plays on Friday, too.

    Brooks’ swing sure looked/sounded good off the bat, like Arcia’s near homer against the Pirates. I thought we had an improbable walk-off…Alas, the baseball gods have not shined down upon us lately.

    Pain! So many times, we have been just one more hit away from a great comeback win! 😭

    I remember Cory Provus describing Josh Bell on Opening Day, saying he doesn't strike out much. Um, yeah....I'm rooting for this dude (like I am all the others!) and thought he was fitting in well to start the season. But since the Boston series in April at TF, dang...rough. Definitely been a huge disappointment.

    Beyond the 5-10 record in one run games, how many games have we lost with either a lead/tie game going into the 8th? Thinking of late losses against TB, Cincy, Seattle, etc. I know we’ve pulled out some Ws that easily could’ve been losses, but we coulda (shoulda woulda) have like 40 wins right now. At least 35. So it goes…

    About last night:

    Tristan Gray's opposite field hit was a thing of beauty! Love to see it...good for him.

    Yeah, here's what Joe said postgame, per Dan Hayes. Someone asked him a follow-up question about it and Ryan said, "It won't happen again." “I don’t feel like I gave enough length,” Ryan said. “There’s some things that could have gone differently and trying to mix things up when we didn’t need to be doing that and adding things in that we haven’t done all year. Just kind of changing the plan at times and it limits the innings there. I was probably in a spot to go a couple more innings. Certain things didn’t go the way we probably should have stuck to. It happens.” PS - trying to quote the above post but new here;)

    Did anyone catch Ryan's postgame interview? He seemed to hint at communication issues with Caratani. Definitely noticed Joe was frustrated when Vic dropped that third strike with two outs in the third.

    Shelty said postgame there currently isn’t a plan in place for Bailey’s spot, and the expression on his face tells me he was being truthfully. Nice! 🤦🏼‍♂️ What a difference a week makes. Was feeling great this time last Sunday! Now it feels like the wheels are coming off.
