Rigged up sliding TV for our deck this year. Got the bright idea last summer and built the thing in the fall before it got cold. It's in full use now. Watched the O's game yesterday with a few beers while floating around the pool. ;)

I hate multiple run first innings. Today is going to be interesting with Gunnar getting plunked. I thought that was really misguided, but I would have preferred an Earl-like or Buck-like response about purposeful HBP's. I hope we don't retaliate today. If Gibson's was accidental, and it sure...

Ya know, I miss Manny. Playing the Padres reminds me of how excited I was with his debut back in the day. He single-handedly solidified an already very good infield into a real force. So different than what we're seeing over the course of this year. I wondered when we signed Alonso if we...

I heard that too. I don't think Albi called him out, per se, but when you get tests that come back negative, you have to be ready to be in the line-up. He's a catcher, he should be used to the beating. Plus Adley had done a couple days in a row at that point and all Basallo was doing was DH...

The problem is tho that the dumb luck things are infrequent while the crippling mishaps and errors are frequent enough to seem normal... I never give up hope, but they need to improve defensively if they hope to get anywhere and then stay consistently better than merely marginal. And TON needs...

Gunnar first pitch swinging in the bottom of the 9th rally was a brutal out. Killed the momentum. All we needed was a fly ball. He needs to relax in clutch situations. He is not a clutch player right now. Brutal loss. TON's ground rule double was unfortunate. If it stays in, we win.

Sadly, in turning the corner, it looks like they've turned back in confusion.

...I loved Baz chirping at the ump for the rest of the game too. Even after he was pulled from the game in the clubhouse. Let's see how they respond from being jipped.

That was the worst call I've seen in a long time. And then to have Holliday called out on the same thing was just an insult. About a week ago, Bobby Valentine was on MLB Tonight and he was saying exactly what I've been saying for the whole season now. If the booth or the ball/strike sensor...

Spirits are up. That's nice to see. Winning changes outlooks. Let's keep it going now! :beer:

Probably wouldn't have won Wednesday anyway, but Alexander shouldn't be playing CF. Strikeouts are still kind of high, but looking around the league we seem to be about average. That's amazing to me because they still chase low and outside like they're hounds on a fox hunt. I know Alexander...

Gotta pay somebody and if ur gonna tank a locked in contract to today's money is cheaper than 2028 when they either hold them 'cause they're good or off load them for picks. Today's money paying future bills... ;)

7-3 over the last 10. They were sloppy on Friday and Saurday. But coming back to win on Saturday was huge.

Well, I'm almost afraid to say anything. Their DEF is still poor - especially throwing to first and 1B making plays on bad throws... But sweeping the Rays is pretty impressive. They also still struggle with the low off-speed and breaking stuff and SO's, except for yesterday, are still kind of...

Amen, brother!

Gunnar is getting the yips again throwing to first. Alonso is not good at adjusting to bad throws. I think it's time to shake things up. Even imagining everyone healthy for the last month doesn't do much for me. I just can't see them being enough to get us to .500 much less significantly...

I used the word inept the other day. I think that's appropriate. They look lost in a lot of situations. Their fielding is terrible. Two third outs were missed, giving the Rays additional chances that they took advantage of. 11 SO's after 9 yesterday and 10 the day before is scary. They...

Well, saved from the sweep yesterday. Gotta tough stretch here against Tampa. 6 of 10 games against the Rays... Need to make up some ground. The alternative is getting further buried.

They have a little fight, but not much. They don't look like a happy team. Far different than 22, 23 and 24. They got no bounce.

3-2 losses hurt. Our hitting is terrible. 10 LOB. 10 SO's... That is some terrible batting. 10 games back. We're getting near the danger zone.
