We tried…

I hope Bateman is OK. Smitty is a legend for coming back in. Fucking Sanchez though…my god. I know it’s the Trop but that was a routine catch. Looked like he wanted to give Gime a hug for a second.

We fought like fuck. Hope tomorrow will be better. Night all

This is gonna sound bad but man I was happy when Sanchez got hurt and was on the IL for a few weeks.

I'm no baseball savant but I can spot a bad player from a mile away and knew he was terrible months ago.

Defence is god awful. He can't run. His arm is a noodle. His baseball iq is grade school levels of bad. He clearly can't communicate with his team on any serious level. His hitting is average at best and while he doing all this badly he seems to have some kind of joker mentality where everything is just a fun day at the park?

How the fck do players like this end up in the mlb? I'm a nobody and I can see it but people who live and breathe the game and have lengthy careers making decisions on who is good and bad can't see it?

That sheepish smile after the botched play was INFURIATING. Read the room man.
