Grandal!!!

Hader did well. Was put in a terrible situation with no margin for error and minimized the damage. If we can't win now, it's on the offense.
-
Can't hit with RISP and can't throw strikes. If tonight is the end to our season, it's a fitting end.
-
Finally made the right call here. I don't know if it's going to be in time now. Hopefully you can at least keep it to no worse than 2-1
-
Crazy. it seems that Drew Pomeranz might not be Josh Hader 2.0 after all.
-
This should be Hader. Craig doesn't seem to realize that this inning is probably the game and season.
-
Junior "leadoff walk" Guerra. Always the way you want to start the 8th inning of a tie game in the most important series of the year.
-
I find it kind of hilarious that when Freitas was coming up in the minors, he couldn't hit a lick, so the narrative on him was "yeah his calling card is defense". Now when he starts to hit the narrative has shifted to "he's a terrible defensive catcher." In general I think people do assume that good hitting catchers can't play defense, and the best defensive catchers can't hit.
-
That was a hideous bunt by Spangenberg.
-
Add Freddy now to our enormous list of unhittable late inning shutdown relievers.
-
Atta boy Gamel.
-
I mean Saladino, Perez, Shaw, Spangenberg, they're all terrible. It's kind of a miracle we're still hanging around by even a thread because we just don't have the horses anymore.
-
At least he didn't walk Schwarber before giving up the tater.
-
I don't think he's a poor defender. I just don't think it really matters how good of a defender you are when you're one of the worst offensive regulars in the majors.
-
0 for 5 RISP. Different night, same old crap. It gets a little old hearing about how this RISP stuff just isn't predictable.
-
Maybe it's just me, but Mark A. didn't sound all that enthused to me about the state of the team.
-
The left side of the infield may need an overhaul in 2020. I don't think you can count on Moose being back, I don't think you can count on Shaw at all, and I think it's probably come time to move on from Orlando Arcia.
-
The zone is tight, but it's not that tight, Spangenberg.
-
Shaw missed that Strike 3 by a good 6 inches. I don't think you can even tender him in 2020. He is beyond lost.
-
Curious, are there any umpires left in MLB that don't suck behind the plate?

Has anyone lost confidence in Stearns

Agreed. We do this a lot. We see a guy sign somewhere for X amount of dollars and assume he would have also signed here for X amount of dollars. Doesn't always work like that, even if the guy is interested in coming here. There are a lot of factors for a free agent - money, years, taxes, location, coaching staff, winning, starting opportunities, and how well the team has developed players at that position. Typically money is near the top of the list but it's not always the only factor. Just because someone signs somewhere for 5M does not always mean we could have had him for the same 5M or even at all. -
I had Brown in a keeper fantasy league since 2013. Late last year I smelled which way the wind was blowing and traded him for JuJu Smith-Schuster. Looking back on those years now and all the drama from the last month I'm kind of blown away that all his time in Pittsburgh passed without incident. Well, without major incident. I'm starting to seriously wonder if he has CTE or something.
-
I do agree the 'Packer people' narrative is overblown. However I do agree with Joey in that he's probably not a great fit here. My perspective on that is more just that you've got a young rookie head coach here still settling into this job, and forcing him to manage that personality and locker room from the get go is probably not a great fit, especially now that Brown has essentially assured himself of a media bonanza following him anywhere he goes at least for the near future. New England, and Bellichick specifically, is probably in a better situation to manage something like that.

So is suggesting that Miley would have made a HUGE difference. Yep, that's fair too. Miley doesn't upset me that much. I never would have imagined that Burnes and Peralta would flop so bad as starters. -

Suggesting that we wouldn't have traded for Yelich if we hadn't traded Davis is already quite a reach. Suggesting we wouldn't have drafted Hiura if we had kept Gennett is really over the top. We can't assume certain hypothetical outcomes based on things that didn't happen. Maybe we would have traded Braun to the Dodgers in 2016 if we hadn't traded Davis and maybe that package would have been a big win for us. Maybe we would have traded Villar at his peak pre-2017 if we had kept Gennett. We just don't know.
