Haven't had consecutive wins since 7/25-26 - over 2 weeks...
They are in such a funk that you can't even assume a series win over the Orioles at this point.

Who's Cora bringing in next, Valdez?

May as well just melt Rios' arm for the duration. Hard to imagine a big rally is forthcoming.

Guys, is it bad if the people in the Monster seats are turning backwards to see the ball? I think that's bad.

4th straight game giving up at least 8 runs, and 6th of the last 8 games they've done that.

What did that stat just say? The Rays have scored 232 runs after the 7th inning this season, or this series?

C'mon show some fight. Make a statement. They did. Their statement was "We're not winning the division".

Schwarber can't even get a rehab started because they are in a rain delay. that is notorious for Worcester. I swear they get more precipitation than the rain forests.

How does Tampa get all these anonymous, unspellable random pitchers who shut us down, and we end up with a Robles and a Davis and... They really know how to shop in the bargain shops It is not like Rios, Robles and Davis were good pitchers somewhere else. Can’t see how they would be different in Tampa. Bloom has to be given more time to develop his own team. Right now he is just trading low value for low value. And lo and behold, he is getting low value.

didnt even know it was an early game. Not sure what to say. Stay the course, but in a span of 3 weeks we look like the worst team in the league.
If Marwin isnt DFA'd in the next week, what the heck is the point ? I mean are you trying to win ? If not, give the playing time to someone who needs an extended look ?

That needs an extended look? Duran? I’ve seen enough for a while. Downs? Maybe more time for Franchy?

I can't figure out if Cora already knows this team is toast by his lineups and pitching decisions, but can't say it, or if Bloom and he are just going through the motions, or if they are really trying but don't have "it". The players can't be happy about being embarrassed, esp Xander and JD. Sale is returning to this mess?

They did. Their statement was "We're not winning the division" making the playoffs. I'd like to argue with your revision but I really can't. Especially when I see it your way.

I feel bad piling on the guy, but he is awful and has no future with the club. Give the at bats to anyone....and I mean anyone else. They can't be any worse. It seems silly to give him at bats. Add....and if your giving up on Duran, I mean, he is the one guy you have to have some degree of patience with, no ?

Whenever he’s ready.

Can everyone just relax now? The goal from here on in is to lose every game. Well except for when they play the Yankees. Suggestions: Shut down anyone who isn't 100%. Verdugo, Barnes, Sale, Bogaerts, Arroyo. Play Dalbec, Duran and Cordero every day. Give one of the bat only minor league guys a shot at DH. Most of those guys are oldish. Time to see if they can hit in MLB. Don't waste even one at bat on Schwarber. He's irrelevant the rest of the year and a free agent this off season. Get Seabold up if he's fully healthy.
