Worst Bassitt has looked since the beginning of the season today. Velo down and command all over the place.

Looks like it is time for Kiermaier's yearly injury. Biggio is about to get a lot more time going forward.

4 runs? No way offense is making up for this deficit. On to the next one.

Season over. I would like to express my gratitude to Shatkins for their efforts in building a winning team.

Vlad looks as bad as he has in years right now. Timing so off.

Varsho knocking balls out for 2 run HRs now. Disaster of a season continues for him.

Between the wildly inconsistent pitching and hitting, we're not going anywhere with this team.

This season has been exhausting. Tbf the first one was a tough play but KK would've had both of those.

Because he wasn't running off the bat.

This **** is happening every game too.

Looked easily close enough to challenge to me. Couldn't tell on those replays whether he was out at all, which is why the call on the field wasn't confirmed.

Belt got what he deserved though.

I can't believe we couldn't try for like Bryan Reynolds instead of Varsho for Gabe.

I would imagine they did.

If Vlad is a .800 OPS hitter then this team isn't competing in the playoffs.

What hitter has gotten better under Guillermo's reign? Because I think of several who have gotten worse. And does Walker have tapes on the front office or something? It's been ten years, it's time for a change...

Moreno is hitting .308 and has a 52% caught stealing percentage behind the plate. Meanwhile Jansen has had one of his infamous rough stretches, Kirk is playing 70 pounds overweight, and Varsho is looking like a worse version of Kevin Kiermaier. If these things continue, then that's the kind of move that can cost Atkins - and maybe Shapiro - his job. It made sense to move a catcher, but the move has backfired bigly through two months.
