    Snakebit. Just mistake at the worst time. Our pitching just too many up in the zone. We also need a hitting coach who can teach level swings. Ugly year

    I'm pretty sure that's what Luke said as he walked off

    Well it may have ended with “Blue” but I don’t think it started with “Thanks”—but it may just be my imagination.

    To leave this many on base… should have won this by 4 or 5 runs. Sigh at least we have decent mid weeks…

    @ocalaman — when you’re playing like we are they’re all tough losses.

    Absolutely all or nothing....hero or brutally bad. Im sure all the injuries have an impact, but when it goes bad the wheels are totally off. And it's offense and defense

    Yes, you do. I come from a culture where I have a chip on my shoulder. Maybe that’s somewhat explains the way that I am. There’s a few people on the forums that I know personally, they could tell you the true story.

    it seems everyone is teaching launch angle and there’s a certain degree that they want hitters to reach so the days of swinging level and run like the devil is over

    Pitching was good enough for a win. King had a quality start. Gotta hit way better

    I remember the game at Miami where he went out to the mound and had a heated exchange with Karl Hartman that carried over into the dugout when the inning ended.
