You have to give props to Mo for developing pitching talent in the minor leagues that help the majors at some point. On the flip side, Mo ain’t done shit with offensive players. And Theo has done well with the offense. |

We should just play the Reds every game for the rest of the year.

besides the Reds we are 5/9 against the bottom feeders. We win 2/3 against the Royals/Twins instead of losing we are in first place.
We are not out of the race for the playoffs but l think for most fans it isn’t just making the playoffs but actually winning in the playoffs that matters. This team so far, ain’t doing shit in the playoffs. |

Fowler just pisses me off now. I’ve heard on several podcasts now that he is refusing to do anything but what he’s always done to get out of slumps.
The Cardinals showed him film where he was late getting the foot down and that was making him late with his swing. Same thing with Ozuna. He changed to get his foot down earlier and he was back on track. They went back to Fowler and showed him the difference between last years and this years film. Told him Ozuna had the same issue, showed him. The Cardinals even had Ozuna talk to him and tell Fowler, yeah this is what worked for me. He still hasnt changed a damn thing. 1/3 of the season gone. This isn’t a slump. He refuses to change anything and they keep running him out there like he’s hitting .285. He needs to ride the pine until he does something different. We got an additional $50 million this year from mlb. Spend that money and give it to someone who would accept Fowler in a trade. He doesn’t want to be traded. Sit him on the bench till he gets an attitude adjustment. |

Our outfield would be below average at the corners (mainly due to Ozuna’s arm, that looks like it is duct-taped on now), but overall we are better off. Martinez at first, Carpenter at 2B, should be emergency situations. |

Thus home plate umpire today sucks really bad. It’s bad for both teams. Pitches in the same location are a strike or ball depending on his whim l guess.

Trying to watch on my phone in the middle of nowhere western ks and was thinking the same thing. I almost got pissed and turned it off after that Ozuna/Martinez close to debacle.

Ump issues aside, Martinez doesn’t look right yet. Seems like he was rushed back.

Regarding Martinez, the same thing happened to Mayers in the 8th yesterday. Umps were shit in this series. |
