PH for Stowers.

Of course.

You can’t let Stowers hit, he can’t hit big league pitching. Easily go Mullins here. Easy call.

I thought he went to lefty. Im good with Stowers vs a righty

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Id PH for Urias tho

Just have no faith in him at all. Shouldn’t be on the roster IMO. Even with Mullins struggles, there’s a track record there.

I don't trust anyone not named Gunnar, Adley, or Westburg.

Just too much swing and miss from these young guys. Like higher than leage avg. Cowser, Stowers, Kjersted, Holliday. All at or over 30%. Way too high.

Hyde just throws his hands up. His team still consistently gets bent over by umps. He does nothing

Yep, that wasn’t a swing and the 3B ump would’ve made the right call there. Just terrible.

[BaltBird 24]

Eh. That's a 50/50 swing. Could've gone either way. Anyways, another terrible performance with men on base.

Yeah ok. Mullins got to pH next and struck out. Good call.....lol

We need a new manager. Things are plateauing with this coaching staff

SSS for Kjerstad and Holliday. Stowers is clear cut AAAA… Cowser at 33.3% is a huge red flag. Think the heavy focus on launch angle and attacking the ball is hurting this offense. Works well for Gunnar and Adley, but they’re world class. The other guys should be trying to set the table more than they do.

What a horrific road trip. Swept by a mediocre St. Louis team. Been a struggle in Chicago despite the 2 wins and likely loss today. Definitely in a slump. Hopefully they can salvage tomorrow.

Stowers is quad-A and Mullins is a 30/30 big league player that got robbed. I was absolutely right here. I’ve been nice, don’t poke the bear.

Tate looked OK today.

Lol. Yeah Ced for Urias was def the right call. Urias is god awful and has no pop. Ced gives you a chance with 1 swing.

In that brawl you posted (that was my first time seeing that, was 8 at the time)… the color guy made a comment at one point… “these umpires aren’t robots, you gotta let them know sometimes when they mess up.” I agree. I am not into the toxic masculinity nonsense. I don’t want Boone. I don’t think rolling over every damn time is the right approach, either. I do tend to like the maturity of staying focused on the task at hand, baseball at this level is hard enough. With everything, there’s a balance to strike IMO. Hyde isn’t hitting the mark there. There’s an art to this stuff.

The team needs a professional hitter.

The team needs a professional hitter.

They’ve got a few of them. It’s time to get more curious about the approach. I am starting to wonder what’s really going on here. All these guys have great track records wrt the progressional hitter approach.
