Hasn't pitched in 5 days. Makes me a bit worried about his health yeah.

I wouldn’t really consider this the worst loss of the year. In all likelihood, we’re destined for a WC spot. Obviously, there’s a big difference in which one you end up with, but still.

Well what's the worst loss of the year? We're able to lose a 3 run lead to a mediocre team due to awful defense and bad relief pitching. Had no business dropping this.

To me, it’s probably the game where Aaron Judge hit a walk off HR.

We also had some tough losses in Seattle that got Charlie fired.

Did Bichette/insert other bad defensive player make a back breaking error in that one? I remember Romano threw a hanging slider at the end but I didn't watch the full game.

Relatable.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

My memory sucks for details like that. But we were up two going to the 9th vs our biggest competition.

I was at game 5 of Leafs/Lightning that night. Bad loss, but it doesn't appear there was an error involved. Just a really bad Romano.

Romano has absolutely no command of his slider right now, which is usually the only pitch he can command. Not great.

Somebody better start asking questions about what Bass's injury is because it's getting clear he has one.

#NextLevel horrendous approach on 2-0 by Teo there

Don’t blame Teoscar for a swinging at a 2-0 ball in the dirt, after Chapman was just walked… “he’s injured”… maybe his brain??
