Darn this sucks for Francis. 40 pitches already.

I guess we rely on our manager to guide us through the pitching gauntlet going forward!

Blanco about to throw a no hitter.

I feel like blanco doesn’t even have great stuff we just suck. Like if Bowden Francis was pitching to us instead he’d also have a no hitter.

Unfortunate that this year we again look like we have no capacity whatsoever to fight back once we go down. 2-0 might as well be 20-0

Seriously, how the hell does Guillermo still have a job? Does he have incriminating pictures of the front office or something? How many guys have underperformed under Guillermo? We arguably have a generational hitting talent and he looks slightly above average. And it's not like Guillermo has a great track record or anything, either (especially!) in his own hitting career or as a coach.

Never seen a group of professionals completely and utterly give up the second they give up an early lead. These have been some of the most pathetic, non competitive at bats ive seen since...last year.

This is not going to be a fun series to watch. We are getting swept.

A no hitter is completely possible tonight.

Imagine starting the season with not enough pitching to get your starter out of the game when he is getting shelled. We had money for Ohtani but nothing else that could contribute to winning ball games.

I think I made the right call not renewing my subscription. Can't support a team that keeps making brain-dead decisions and rewarding the decision makers.

This team is garbage... to the core.
