    Not a fucking chance they catch the Giants. Just decide if you want Walker or Max in the WC game

    Batting the corpse of Albert Pujols 4th and Will Smith 8th was quite a decision

    Muncy and Seager both swung at ball 4. That change up is nasty, but come on.

    The offense is very overrated. They were pretty shitty vs the Padres but they were fortunate that SD was historically bad on offense.

    every team in the league would kill for the talent on this team
    what's missing is a leader that knows what to do w it
    no excuses period

    Yeah, we'll change the DH and get it in the NL, check pitchers for sticky stuff, maybe change he ball back, make players wear polka dot cups, runner at second in extra innings, etc. All to make the game better and faster...
    But they wont do a fucking thing about the single most important and devastating element of incompetence that is rampant in the game today, controlling division races and the ultimate outcomes by trickle down effect by simply not doing their job well enough.

    Maddening but not surprising. I follow this ump scorecard page on Twitter and it seems like umps have favored our opponent in 90% of our games. It’s a huge issue for the sport right now but it’ll never be addressed. We’d be sitting half a game out of first right now if not for an umpire blowing the clear strike 3 call vs SF on a check swing. Fucking twats.

    I would have rather had Julio PH in the 8th and bunt Will over to 2nd instead of seeing Cody take golf swings. My God he is terrible. He is giving me Andruw Jones as a Dodger vibes this season

    cody should not be in the lineup -- and you could make a strong argument that he should actually be down in the minors trying to figure shit out
    because right now he is not only ineffective, he's hurting the team
    i really cannot fathom why this is so hard for roberts, friedman, et al to understand
    pollock and taylor are clearly better options (probably mckinney too)
    putting cody out there is, quite possibly, ending the team's postseason chances before they even begin
    the difference between playing in a 3/5 series versus a 1 game elimination game should be painfully obvious
    but either they don't see it, or they (for whatever reason) would rather have cody in the lineup than increase the team's chances
    beyond frustrating

    edit: but i see the team just partnered with retailer wss, so priorities i guess

    They’re never going to do that, certainly not Roberts who doesn’t know the meaning of urgency or necessity. He’s too much of a Ted Lasso wannabe.

    Cody sells tickets for better or worse (worse in this case). I just think that after a few years, pitchers have figured him out and his bad tendencies that he got away with when pitchers made mistakes, they’re not making those mistakes anymore. Cody keep swing away.

    We all knew there was a big hole in his swing and he never addressed it. It looks like that won’t happen until this off season, if at all.
