I don't think he can read the ball. He must be swinging dead red and getting fastballs when he gets hits. He watched to curveballs right down the dick in the exact same spot.


I think he'll bounce back in future years but never will be a .300 hitter. All the fame he garnered and the post season success he had must have gone to his head somewhat. I heard an interview a couple months ago and he bragged about being a dead pull hitter, which is stupid. He needs to study Rizzo who studied Votto.


Really? You think his struggles are due to ego?

Robots, take us now.

Gotta like Almora. He's come along way. What a run of 1st round picks producing.

I like Almora....which is why I feel bad for what the score is making him do this weekend. No one should have to take that bullet.

This lead is too big. Its Grimm and Felix Pena big....which means you better score 5 or 6 more.

No way!!! Get the win and get the fuck out of town. I'd let Wilson and Koji nail It down.

Probably smart, but I'd gamble a little. Just wanna see that nasty Maples slider.

It sounds even dumber when you double down on it.

How many runs do you need to give Wilson to not suck?

No shit. The guy blows. Hopefully Bosio can get him unfucked next year but he looks like toast this year.

I'm not trying to be difficult (that's a lie), but you honestly think a guy who is hitting below .200 and was sent down to Iowa is just big-headed and refuses to adjust, potentially costing himself tens of millions of dollars?

Wilson has to get right. The only way to do that is to pitch. This bullpen will be horrendous come playoff time if they make it.

Yes I do - to a certain extent. The kid is bull headed. And as I said, I do think he'll bounce back as early as next year and be a solid .260/360/475 guy.

The way it looks now it'll be Edwards/Monty/Duensing/Davis instead of Edwards/Monty/Chapman. Strop may get 1 high leverage inning to prove he can handle the pressure.

Monty might be in the rotation if The Body doesn't recover.

Why the Fuck Joe!!!! Why!!! Pena is a giant pile of 6.2 era shit. Stop pitching him. Get guys that matter some work.

IN the playoffs Monty will be needed in the pen.

sonofabitch, what the fuck? Anybody who repeatedly cannot protect a 5 run lead can't be on the roster of a team trying to make the playoffs.
