That was a tough play, but man Bo inspires so little confidence at SS.

Move IKF to SS, Bo costs them again

I get anxiety every time a ground ball is hit at BO. He inspires so little confidence in the field.

I am feeling topsy turvy with Kiku's pitch count already at 50 & were only in the 3rd inning...
Ugh.

Lol. Diaz should fire his agent, but Buck figures he’s from Cuba so no problem.

This is looking over with our offense, Kikuchi has been pretty bad and lucky to only allow 1 run

Dont think Varsho will ever be able to lay off that high fastball.

Good god KK looks awful at the plate. Think we're due to see a big regression from him after that surprising offensive season last year. Our bottom 3 is gonna end a lot of rallies/strand a lot of runners.

Sure would've been nice to pick up a decent bat this offseason. The bottom of the lineup looks so mediocre.

We'll always have that first game of the season.

Don’t worry. We now have an “offensive coordinator“.

This team is an absolute disgrace

It has been painful to watch since that Springer home run yday. I mean we got Vogelbach in the 4 hole so I'm not sure what I was expecting lol

It's sad that I'm hoping for 40 year old Joey Votto to come save this lineup lol.

We will always have last Thursday.

Vogelbach is easily their 4th best hitter in this lineup which speaks to the strength of this lineup

Votto is done, Vogelbach is significantly better

The offense isn't good enough for this team to be a contender.

What we need is for Schneider to mash and win regular playing time in the OF and reducing Kiermaier/Varsho's PT, and for Clement to mash and earn regular playing time at 3B displacing IKF. It wouldn't hurt if Varsho could be league average.

What would help most is getting rid of our non-hitter hitting coach in Guillermo, but for whatever reason Guillermo seems to be here forever.

Jays wasting Yimi in a loss with no off days until Thursday, smart
