It would be some shite if he goes into this Miami series and starts slumping, considering it was the Miami series last year where he got his super powers pack.


Don't put that voodoo out in the ether.

He is locked the frick in right now. That was a great AB the way he was fouling everything off.


No doubt. And I know it's been a year, but I still have a hard time believing it. I've never seen a turnaround like that. Before that Miami series last year, I would have taken him being out of the league right now over what he's done. And not really had to think too hard about it.

Ronnie needs to get on the home run board and get that 1st one behind him. I'd sacrifice this game for him get that out of the way. He needs to remember how it feels so he can start repeating it. And the longer he goes, the more he'll press.

Welp, not sure he's gonna get another chance today.

They need bats something fierce. Not sure what we would have to get that done. Their pitching is actually incredibly deep with upside arms.

My opinion today is that I’m not even mad we’re struggling right now. Adversity is good for a team that spent last season on a cakewalk to the postseason.

I have concerns about Matzek. He's not going to be an effective pitcher with diminished velocity like this.

And, WHY are we using Matzek in a 9-run game when he's coming off TJ, his velocity has been down, and he was used more than expected early?

Probably just been a few days since he's thrown and this would be a pen day for him anyway. But I don't like what this is doing to his ERA.

The bullpen hasn't been best in baseball thus far as some were billing it up to be. "its early"

None of this matters. NONE! All that matters is who gets hot in September.

He has to build his arm back up. It's been 18 months. Remember that.

Too early to be concerned.

This team just doesn’t seem or act or look motivated compared to last season. Are they already burned out or something?

I might be thinking way into it too much but perhaps the departure of Coach Washington and other coaches have screwed up the chemistry of this team a little?
