I don't understand why Cecil is allowed to face RHB at this point. Unreal.

Cecil is awful. Don't want to see him face another RHB ever again.

Feel bad for Stroman. Pitched one hell of a game!

Wrong sport.

'IT' in baseball is fleeting. It changes everyday.

Let him face just LH hitters and he might be ok. Gibby didn't do that.

Such is a sport where losing 9 out of every 20 games is considered success and likely gets you in the playoffs. MLB is frustrating in general.

Prefer the parity of MLB. We already know who will be in the NBA finals next year and haven't even started the preseason.

Starting to feel like this team will go on a tear to finish off the season despite this frustration loss

I'm feeling the same way. We lost 2 of 3 to a team that's really really good, was playing at home and got a bit lucky....It happens.

That's a weekend where we miss Bautista's bat. A couple situations where Zeke is up it usually would've been Joey Bats.
That's what she said.

No one should complain at all about Bautista hitting when he's back. People were harping on him when he just came back from 4-5 weeks off turf toe.

We have had to look at Upton and Carerra in his absence.

I am interested to see what they do with the lineup. I suspect JB will be playing DH for a bit so I guess:

Travis
Jose
JD
Edwin
Tulo
Martin
Saunders
Pillar
Upton

Lineup looks good with Upton as the 9 hitter.

Good thing we only lost by 1 run, it doesn't hurt our seasons net run total that much.....
