That's ridiculous.  You could say they are pressing, but nobody wants the season to be done.  

I think he’s referring to a passionate episode in the locker room where things gets smashed with bats and players yell and drop f-bombs to the media.

Riley Greene’s WAR according to BR is 2.5 this year and was 5.4 last year. I know his OBP is lower this year. What’s going on? 

It’s a little of everything. Walk rate is down so his wRC+/OPS+ is down. Base running is worse. Fielding is worse. Plus he played less CF this year, so he loses a couple tick for positional.

FWIW, Fangraphs has him at 4.0 last year and 2.9 this year.

Russell Branyan's career %s were 32 & 11.

This year for Greene is strikingly close to Branyan's career avg. No one but Kingman could hit them higher and farther though when connected.

I think you are confusing two different posters.  Monkeytargets wants the f-bombs.  Tigers202 says they are aren't trying and want to go home.  I'd like to see the f-bombs just for entertaiment purposes.

Ain’t nothing a 6-2 finish to the season won’t cure.
