well, at least Jake can stop a rally if the pitching can't.

[Dtrain72]

Urshella and Badoo with stellar back to back ab's

[kdog]

They invent new ways to not get a hit with runners on base.

[Tigermojo]

Remember that time when they scored thirteen runs? That was awesome.

[Sports_Freak]

We need a leftfielder.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

oof, that was a shot

[kdog]

Will Vest and Shelby Miller in high leverage....good stuff.

[Dtrain72]

Just call up every/all young player at this point and wave the white flag on the season...time to see what every viable young player's got to offer and get em up.

[Sports_Freak]

I love watching an entire game just to watch our BP lose the game late. Makes me want to just keep watching...

Not going to destroy a young players development. It'll never happen.

[Tigermojo]

Come on Joe. Blow a save for old times sake.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

weak

[kdog]

1-3 on the road trip thus far...scored 2 runs total in the 3 losses...and there aren't any answers for that. Just have to hope that they have a random day where guy hits a bunch of singles.

[Tigermojo]

Fifth time in June they scored one or less.

They still had a one run lead after 6. And the bullpen couldn’t hold it. Among league leaders in blown leads after 6 innings.  Beginning to realize there is nothing special about Fetter et al. Not in the same league as Cleveland or Seattle for instance in terms of pitching development.

Miller is pretty useless in any kind of leverage at this point. He will do just enough to lose.

[IdahoBert]

Losing games like this gets old.

We have one, he's playing center.

Great job by Olson to bounce back like this after a few rough starts. Just need some runs now.

He's still got to learn to finish ABs better. Too many 0-2s that went to 2-2 and 3-2, but can't argue with the results.

Unbelievable....

that call may well have been the ball game. Challenge needs to come the majors.

That could have been the difference to go seven or eight innings but after his last three starts, I'm happy with how he performed. Next time he'll get his second win.

Kredler at 167, Malloy at 176 with a >40% K rate, Rogers at 206 and Keith still figuring it out. That is just too many holes in a lineup.

Hmm, I know he needs ABs, but I am not so sure/sold on RKreidler at all. ZShort may be the better utility player.

True. Ok, we need a centerfielder. Parker pt. II?

we won't know real pain until Meadows and Tork come back and bring Dingler and Leonard with them.
