So glad they're not going all in. They are very deeply flawed.

And Ball 5

[BaltBird 24]

They aren't scoring more than 2 today.

[BaltBird 24]

They've been pressing for 6 weeks now lol

Well Kjerstad makes it our 4th guy to get to a 3-2 count and we haven't found a way on yet.

Kremer hasnt even given up his HR or two yet today. Yah

That commentary from Ben was interesting. Could most be broadcast filler, but made me wonder if there is a leadership crisis in the clubhouse right now.

[BaltBird 24]

They don't have any veteran leaders. Ced is the quiet type. O'Hearn is probably the closest they have.

What have I told you and I absolutely have meant it. Its never been hyperbole or me being a panic monkey. I truly believe they are pretty soft. Talented but soft. The right manager could help harden them but thats not Hyde

The dropped popup should be a team error.

[Slidemaster]

Whatever it is, they aren't built for a championship. Not this year. Can you imagine them gritting out battle after battle against the big boys in do or die situations?

[BaltBird 24]

They're talented enough to make a run.

[russsnyder]

I was taught in that situation that it's the LFers job to call who should take it.

I don't think the infielders could hear the left fielder in a major league ball park.

How about we see happens when the playoffs start

A lot of times a team peaks at the right time.

Plenty of time to right the ship.

Absolutely, Slide doing his Chicken Little thing.

I mean we'll see, but they are playing truly terrible baseball. Not mediocre. Terrible. Bonehead errors? Blown saves? Swinging at balls and taking strikes? They don't even look like a playoff team right now.

Anything can happen and I'm not writing them off entirely, but this is really bad.

Yes, if the LF can make an easy play on the ball, then when he calls for, the IF should get out of the way. But Ben was spot-on when he said that the SS is the de-facto captain of the IF. If he's calling for it, the 3B needs to clear out of the way.

Lol. He literally said the opposite like 3 weeks ago. Not anywhere close to being a foxhole guy.

[BaltBird 24]

Cant dig an even deeper hole right here.

[BaltBird 24]

Yup.
