    Mookie would be at the top of the list for our failures. Look up his clutch stats so far...historically bad so far. We watch scrubs like Duffy get a clutch two out hit, Baez last night, and multiple Brewers players over the weekend but our 365 million dollar guy fails every single time. We are 4-13 our last 17 but our run differential is -4. Imagine if the guy got a couple of hits in the clutch.

    Betts on his way to holding the " biggest most expensive free agent failure" in baseball history award. Just tears the heart right out of you watching him whiff and do nothing up there.
    Hearing all the superlatives about him is grating on my nerves, and all in past tense., for sure.

    Another loss, another list of failures and fuck ups.

    Seager's throw, Smith's failure to block a pitch, lack of clutch hitting (wash, rinse, repeat), and the leadoff walk to a struggling Joc....

    Would like an explanation why Contreras wasn't called for blocking the plate. Turner had nowhere to go. Would like to see what Gibby would have done to Contreras. They would still be peeling his chest pounding ass off home plate.

    I's love to see it, but as you wrote, a real long shot.
    However this degree of failure, for a team with this celestial payroll, has to irk the FO, no matter what face they show publicly. This is over and above a normal losing streak, no matter what desperate spin Robots puts on it.
    And for all the Robots staunch supporters, with the " it's the players fault, not the manager " mantra, when a team toilet bowls to this level ( especially a high roller championship team), they don't fire all the uninspired players.
    You could check it out...

    On a positive note, nice to see Muncy showing a pulse and Lux had his best game at the plate in ages.

    It was so blatant, your head spins. NY, the hp ump all sucked on the replay decision. The hp ump should have made the right call when it happened, the ballsless moron.
    And I was genuinely kinda sorry Joc left. After last night, fuck his career. I guess being classless is genetic. The fat faced schlub.
    And I'd love to see that Contreras get his due one day...abrasive turd.
    Guys like Gibson, Rose are long gone. Utley was possibly the last of that breed.
    As long as they have fun being pure scumbags...that's what counts.

    should pay him to tweet that we have zero chance of turning things around and repeating

    But it's not the money right.
    It's not the money.
    It's everything else.
    But not the money.
