Now I know why I haven't gone in 7 years. It's not worth the effort. If they won't put it in, why should I
This team's hitters approach at bats with all the enthusiasm of a middle school kid reciting the Pledge Of Allegiance.
Had to clean my glasses when I looked at the giant scoreboard and saw Gio's OBP is only one point higher than his BA. -- and he was batting fifth. Kerry Carpenter - one of the few guys that actually give you any offense was batting sixth.
Then the Javy problem. Why? Just why? Just find someone who can play short. Anyone. They couldn't do worse than this. There are times when you watch sports and you know when a guy is done and he's done. He's checked out. He got his money. Ooooh, he got a hit today. Still has an OBP under .200, right? Your defense better be Alan Trammel/Ozzie Smith to justify staying - and it isn't. Swallow the pill - blame it all on Al and move the **** on.
I don't understand why people think Hinch is good. Yeah, he's good at going on runs when the team is all but eliminated from contention. He tinkers too much. He's Ausmus Jr. Gotta be the smartest guy in the room. Why does Riley need a day off. He's 23. Don't think you're gonna wear him down on a 70 degree day. I think he can manage. Oh yeah, it was a left-handed starter. Well, if Riley can't play against lefties, then he's not a real major league player, is he?
A lot of school field trips there today. You probably didn't win over that generation playing like that.
Casey Mize was great today - he made one mistake, just one. When the ball went over the fence the stranger next to me pretty much said, right along with me, welp, this one's over.
Yep. I still have 18 days left on my current month of the Bally's app. Think I'm just gonna cancel after that. I can find better things to do.
Not going to another game unless I get free tickets. Not worth the effort. Could have spent my day off work gardening or something productive.
