Michael Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 problem is you can't throw one pitch and be successful. Sure you can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piazza31 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 This team really pissed me off to the point where I needed to unplug and reset... That they've come around is great, but they better fucking take the step towards respectability soon. I'm tired of being the butt of all jokes.

rmc523 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Nearly every inning since 1993. Brinson was bad in June. Kidding about the injury but the team was reducing his playing time anyways and uses it to give him a break since they don't know what the hell to do with him at this point. He will not be a starter when he returns. Platoon at best. Watch and learn. He should've been in AAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Brinson was bad in June You obviously didn't watch then or you expected him to put up All-Star numbers for the month. He was definitely not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 He should've been in AAA. Agreed, I think almost all of us said that. Doesn't change the fact he definitely improved in June so the timing of faking an injury to get him out of the lineup makes zero sense.

He played better, showed signs of improving no doubt. What a credit to Lebatard to help him get off the schnide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Brinson had an OPS of .848 in June, after .395 in May but he remained just as bad... amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J'Daniel Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 If you actually watch, they're not boring. Understanding that they won't win every day, a lot of their wins are hard fought comebacks. Sunday was a great example of how fun this team can be. And in a twisted way expecting them to lose makes their wins more exciting. Not boring eh? You must really dig hitting a lot of singles because that's all they have done all year long. They aren't even in consideration for the playoffs so there's no entertainment value there either. Fun batting facts at a glance: 29th in MLB in doubles 29th in MLB in HR's 28th in MLB in slg% 14th in MLB in B Avg. (hooray singles hitters!) And now the pitching... 27th worst in MLB in ERA 20th worst in MLB in total K's 28th worst in walks issued Those stats are the very definition of a mind numbingly boring team to watch. Sorry, scratching out a game with a shit ton of singles is not exciting. The players even looked bored af this year - especially in comparison to recent seasons.

Sorry, scratching out a game with a shit ton of singles is not exciting. The players even looked bored af this year - especially in comparison to recent seasons. I don't need stats to define boredom or not. I don't count how many singles they hit in a game, I watch to see if they can score more runs than the other team. And playoff expectations aren't needed for me to enjoy a baseball game on any given night. Scratching out comebacks is fun to me whether it's done with singles or not. They don't bore me.

J'Daniel Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Damn, who the hell is 30th? 30th ovr Doubles - StL HR - KC Slg - San Diego Avg - Baltimore ERA - KC K's - KC Walks - ChiSox Can't believe i forgot to include their stellar OPS on the season. Good enough for 27th overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 This boring ass team has won another series. They're still in July and they've already won more series than the 1998 team did all year long. Too bad they're not a major league team and are going to challenge for the most losses in major league history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTrain Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 A special dose of positivity to lessen the blow of a 5 run bottom of the 9th for the Rays. Well done, sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote that before the loss but your choice to focus on one disastrous inning in an otherwise good weekend for the team isn't surprising.

It is hilarious how he posted that and the Barraclough thread went wild due to one inning, while 4 straight wins, 3 straight series wins (2 over WS contenders) went virtually unnoticed. There's no problem with him posting that before I'm called the negativity police again, but you were so right about the fact the fans ignore all the good moments this year and go wild for every negative one.
