Ya know for how awful the offense is our pitching has also been embarrassing. 27th in team ERA coming into today and probably 28th or 29th now. 28th in BAA, last in homeruns given up (19), and 28th in K's per 9.

A minor miracle were 4-6 and not 2-8.

Gausman, Bassitt, and Kikuchi are all in their mid-30s. Not exactly prime years. Decline was inevitable.

The team-building philosophy of this FO is to sign aging vets while ignoring the need to develop prospects. This is the end result.

Let’s be honest, this era’s best window to win was 2021 when Springer was still an elite player and Semien/Vlad/Ray were putting up career years. They wasted it with a joke of a manager and they’ve been chasing a team as good as that ever since with worse players.

I'd never understand how a professional athlete can be so fat in this day and age. Kirk should be demoted until he comes back in shape and at least 30 pounds lighter.

Wait until you see Vogelbac.

This team feels a lot like last year (if not worse) and you can thank management for that. They did nothing to change that.

Team building is trade prospects while still shiny for mid-tier players, and sign aging vets to patch holes due to lack of farm depth

So Clement and Schneider will both be on the bench with their great performance today.

If they were so good, we would have won the game. These scrubs haven't earned it. Once they start hitting like our regulars (who have more than earned their place in the lineup), we can talk about getting them regular ABs.

I am assuming that you are joking. Clement has been legit going back to last year and Schneider has done nothing to not get regular AB's until proven otherwise.

Employing your logic would also preclude our "regulars" all being benched as well. Which one of our regulars is hitting?

Yankees reliever, Jake Cousins is the cousin of Kirk Cousins.

When he faced Alejandro Kirk yesterday that resulted in the following being true:

(Alejandro) Kirk facing Cousins who is Kirk Cousins' cousin.
