We handed our asses to ourselves that series, sadly. This time would be a different story, as they are clearly a better team now.
we're not getting to the ws this time you only get so many opportunities and our brief run is over sincerely, pessimism
I'm just hoping someone can magically take Astros out. It'll make losing the World Series again easier to deal with if it isn't a total shaming by them. no it won't, I'll still want to die
Love Muncy dropping that bunt against the shift. Kike is a joke against RHP. Corey's career is taking a nosedive. Wouldnt be surprised if he is never the same. The dude is physically broken, weak, injury prone and possibly impotent. Joe and Orel were kidding themselves thinking one grand slam was going to change that. This is not timing or rust. It is physical. He is simply damaged goods.
Taylor, Barnes, and Kike have abysmal offensive lines with no realistic expectation of improvement. Horrid. Cant have them all in the lineup at once in a game that matters later in the season. I'd argue you can barely have one of them in there at any point. Pick one and bury him in the 8 spot. They dont even put competitive at-bats together. Bellinger is hitting enough for three people, luckily.
They have spent half the game and pregame show talking about preparing to play in this ballpark. You think they'd be playing on Mars if you didn't know any better.
