Aggies7

If there was ever a time to go into NY and take a series or sweep, this was it. Outside of Sanchez, voit, and possibly andujar (just back from the DL), there were few threats in the Yankees lineup. Paxton and Happ were not great either. Friday night’s game should have been a win but the defense was bad from the start. Kind of feels like the twins played down to the level of competition in this series. Pineda and Gibson must be more consistent for the team to really contend for big things. Perez is still a question mark for me despite his recent success. Going to be hard to go far if the whole staff outside of two guys is a question mark.

Anyone with a chance at being a part of the future should get a crack over the next 55 games. Simply no reason (unless the worry is stunted growth) that we should keep trotting out the junk over the prospects. This looks to be another lengthy rebuild. It hurt to type that.

Right now, there is not one facet of baseball that this team excels in. Not one. I know some of the players currently here were never in the plans to be here. I'm sure nobody expected or wanted bobby wilson to catch as many games or have someone like willians a. at third base, or have someone like littell on the mound in extra innings. All that being said, if you aren't going to bring a lot of talent, you'd better at least be somewhat solid in fundamentals. This team isn't, at all. And it's not just the new guys or the emergency roster spot takers. It's everyone. Just from last night's game you had: -dozier falling for the oldest trick in the book, a runner at first trying to get into a rundown to avoid a DP -2nd and 3rd nobody out, and 3 awful at bats by rosario, dozier and grossman. dozier should have been called out before his grounder -wilson being unable to get down a bunt and for some mind blowing reason, he was still allowed to swing away in the 9th -escobar's base running blunder in the 9th -on the tying sacrifice fly, kepler threw home with zero chance to get the runner, allowing the winning run to advance to third This is a team obviously low on talent, but it's also poorly coached. Someone mentioned a lack of "fire", the team hasn't show any for an extended period after that stretch of postponements in early april. They are (poorly) going through the motions, vets rookies and coaching alike. Baseball has been played for over 150 years and the teams that end up with bad records all have the same characteristics this team is showing.

Is there going to be a ballgame today or is it still too hot for our boys? You’ve gotta be kidding me, lol this is baseball, in the summer. It gets hot! So let’s see, we can’t play in April and parts of may because it’s too cold. We can’t play in July or August because it’s too hot. So we’ll start midway though may, play all of June (maybe) and then playoffs for September What a hoot!

This team is DEAD. Not mathematically, but realistically. How many guys on this entire roster have done their job consistently all year? 6? 7? That 6th inning last night PERFECTLY encapsulates this entire season. I'm not sure what the solution is but the status quo ain't workin'. Take away the aberration of a 20-10 August of 2017 and the club is 100-107 over the last two seasons. Sounds about right.

Yay

Although he looked good there

Doesn’t appear that Rodney has it tonight

Possibly the quickest unraveling of a post ever

HUGE by garver

Gene Glynn owes max a steak

Way harder than it needed to be

All this with 2 outs and nobody on, folks.

FFS

It’s just never going to be easy is it?

He’s never going to learn how by bunting in the 6th inning of a tie game in May against the royals

A modern day murderer’s row

Why bunt there???

If memory serves me correct, he seems to tweak something every game. Possibly has to do with weight, but who am I to judge?

Lynn may well get out of this with the game still tied, but man it’s absolutely demoralizing to give those two runs right back. Takes the wind right out of you.

Getting that era (temporarily) under 6 didn’t make us forget how bad LL is.

Lynn. Oh Lynn.

At least it was fast. I guess

3-0 with nobody out down by a run and he’s green lighted. I get why but I hate that. Hate it

Applause for romero
