Do we really want fat and slow Kirk at first base on a HBP? I'd rather take my chances he gets a hit to drive in runs.

Time for Kirk to do something.

That will not stand, but it was worth it I guess in the 9th.

Taking the bat out of Kirk's hands doesn't sound like a bad idea, but Straw is on deck, so pick your poison. 

[Brownie19]

Good call by Schneider to try and get Kirk on base with the review.  You have such little confidence in him hitting that you're hoping the review team sees the ball clip his shoelace...

[Masterbather]

The ship is sinking.

[hanton]

down to Miles Straw.  what a joke

[Fighting_Yeti]

And now the Yankees.  Great.

[Angrioter]

Abysmal

The offense won't continue to be this awful, but I see little reason to believe that it will be good enough to contend. At this point I just want to see a change in the front office so that I can at least buy into the future of this team because the last few years I find the product hard to cheer for.

Worst series in nearly 50 years. 😅

Lowest # of hits as a team in a 3 game series since..... last year.... in Houston. 

[Masterbather]

How many no-hitters get thrown against us  this season?

Hits and runs scored early 80's

This is year 3 now of the limp dick offense that needs pitching and defense to be perfect in order to win. It's not fun to watch even when it works (2023) and unwatchable when it doesn't. 

[Spanky99]

Remember when everyone wanted Pederson as a power bat, he's 0-41 pressing the record of Davis at 54. Name your bat and tell me the Birds weren't in this offseason? Name them... Santander needs to step up, but please name them 20-20 envisionists? 

I only recall Pendelton asking for Hays. That's about it tools, and look at the small samples throughout the league. Whoa Nelly here, no?

To a point, you're right. 

It's still frustrating as f*** to watch guys like Vlad, who should be hitting 40 HRs a year by accident, be such a useless tit for such long periods of time. 

That, and the seeming inability to even swing at centre cut fastballs for every hitter on the team that isn't named Springer. It's like they're never ready to hit mistakes. 

Reminds me of the old Donaldson approach - plan to swing at every pitch until your eyes tell you not to. 

[L54]

Yes they did everything they could. Thank you Ross

Answer the f***ing question?

 

[L54]

The question is were you a staunch skeptic of a Joc Pedersen signing after a 150 double you are see plus season or are you actually the 20/20 hindsight captain

I wanted Pederson, my point is it isn't that f***ing simple, what's hard here D??? Not to mention we're 3 weeks in with the 2nd toughest schedule in MLB for March/April. We're not that bad. The offense is obviously concerning. Now, answer the question?

[Spanky99]

*crickets*   Yeah, I didn't think so.

 

[L54]

Spanky nobody is claiming anything is simple 

People are just voicing their opinion that the offense still lacks power

Go roll a J, J
