I was just watching the game, top of the first, with 2 outs & Sweeney is on first...Robert is up at the plate and sends a double down the first baseline; Sweeney gets the signal to round third, the ball is relayed home bwfore Sweeney is even close to the plate...he does a half-ass slide and is out by a mile.
#1. Why was Sweeney aloud to run the bases? Bochy should have sub him out for a speedy runner.
#2. I don't care if you are 100 games out of first place, play with some god d-mn pride and plow the catcher over like a man.
No effort from our players

Davis was still available to come off the bench to pitch run for Sweeney. And everyone knows when you are on the road you play to WIN now, you don't want to settle for extra innings. You have to be more aggressive on the road than at home. And I would argue that when you are out of contention you should always be aggressive in close games...what do we have to lose?
The lack of effort I was referring to was Sweeney not plowing through the Padres catcher.

all the youth is with the arms, there are no positional prospects worth looking forward to.
misch looked fine, another good arm
