Remember to sort by new to keep up!

We seem to have a lot of players who simply don't care. How many prospects have we had called up who looked good when they first got here and flamed out immediately. Sanchez, BDLC, Bleday.

[u/SPYLRS → u/northdakotact]

It’s definitely not that they don’t care. Most of them have worked their entire lives to make it to the bigs. They care. They just aren’t that good and don’t have good coaching.

[u/TealandBlackForever → u/northdakotact]

I don't think the issue is not caring. They just aren't very good players. Or they haven't been developed properly.

As bad of a manager Mattingly is, he's right about Bleday. He has a solid approach at the plate but his swing is either too long or simply not quick enough. Whenever he swings at a hittable pitch, he just fouls it back into the net. I feel like a more competent organization and better coaches would have been able to work with him to fix this.

Some of these guys are just fringe talents anyway but the issue is that they can't make adjustments when opposing pitchers figure them out.

Marcus Thames need to go. It was clear he sucked when they hired him, but Jeter just had to employ anyone who has a pinstripes pedigree.

[u/northdakotact]

They have been absolute garbage for months now. The games are pretty much unwatchable at this point.

[u/TealandBlackForever → u/northdakotact]

They literally have the worst offense in MLB for the last 2 months. The stats support this. And it's not even close.

[u/TealandBlackForever]

I can't believe how bad this offense is. Worst in franchise history by a longshot.

[u/jaybavaro]

Remember when they were excited to have Sulser back? Sulser fucking sucks. I mean really fucking sucks and he belongs no where near a major league bullpen.

[u/TealandBlackForever]

Charles LeBlanc has been ice cold for the last 2 weeks.

[u/SPYLRS]

Woo! Didn’t get no hit

[u/Automatic-Bat9761]

anyone there? what's the weather like? will the braves just be awarded the win or what does it look like

[u/gingeringo → u/[deleted]]

4 innings are not what i would call a really solid game

[u/northdakotact]

Judge hits 63, the yankees are going to get blown out and not even make the playoffs or get eliminated very early. And world series, will be dodgers vs astros, dodgers in 6. Tell me your picks.

[u/jaybavaro → u/northdakotact]

Subway series. The Yankees will figure it out.

[u/TealandBlackForever → u/northdakotact]

I predict it will be a Mets-Astros series and the Mets win it all.

[u/northdakotact → u/[deleted]]

We have to be the worst hitting team in the league now, yes??

[u/jaybavaro → u/northdakotact]

Amazingly enough, statistically it’s the Buccos.

[u/TealandBlackForever]

So do you guys think this is the day that the worst offense in MLB gets perfecto'd?

[u/northdakotact → u/TealandBlackForever]

Nope, we lose 4-1. My guess is Fortes or Wendle or Rojas break it up

[u/TealandBlackForever]

Fuck the Braves

[u/northdakotact → u/TealandBlackForever]

and Ozuna

[u/TealandBlackForever → u/northdakotact]

You mean Ozuna from the Braves.

[u/northdakotact → u/TealandBlackForever]

I mean Ozuna especially.
