Watched the postgame with Espada. Here’s what he said: - we’ve ran into good pitching recently which is why we can’t hit - “6 strong innings from Burrows”

:lol: I saw that as well. What a clown.

As bad as the pitching was early on and as disappointing as Burrows and Imai have been, we’re starting to settle in on what was feared all offseason. The pitching has leveled out and the hitting has gone to shite.

We’re back to no discipline at the plate. Horrible with RSIP. Not stringing runs together. Strikeouts galore. Not drawing walks. 2025 all over again. The injuries to Correa and Altuve hurt, but it was starting to trend down even before they went out.

Expected result when no effort was made to improve the offense other than praying Yordan stayed healthy.

And then of course, vintage pre 2025 Peña offering at pitches a foot outside.

Unbelievable.

Come on Shew…jeeez

Bases loaded no outs T1 and didn’t score a single run. I hate this fricking team so much

We didn’t even get the ball out of the infield.

Joe continues to prove he has no read on his pitching staff. How many times has he left a guy in 2 batters too long?

Night after night.

Plus he punted on this game with this pathetic lineup. I know there isn’t a lot he could have done, but don’t sit Paredes with Altuve out and having to play Salazar.

All this extra rest he’s been getting really helped avoid an injury. :cool:

There are maybe 4 major league quality at bats in that lineup. Good god.

---

As has been said on here the last few games, absolute lack of urgency.

Hell, as bad as Altuve has been lately, he was responsible for both the tying and go ahead runs in the lone win against Seattle and did it with uncharacteristic excellent ABs.

When you’re 11 games under 500 what are they “saving” guys for?

Jeez Walker looked awful there

Absolute dog shite effort there. And acted like he couldn’t even care less.
