Kiké and his enabler Cora need to be put in timeout.
Edit: It's not just the baserunners, runs, etc. It's making Whitlock throw more pitches, and higher stress pitches, on a day when there's a double header happening and no off days in sight.

Cora bordering on incompetent with each Kiké error.

Kiki absolutely had enough time to set himself, then throw.

Just put Reyes at SS! He has looked fine there! Kikè is fine at 2B! It’s such an easy solution

He’s just miscast as an everyday SS, circumstances be damned. Chang (and Story) can’t return soon enough, but hopefully Reyes will take over after today.

Whitlock doesn't seem to be a starter to me.

With Reyes on the team thereâs no excuse for having Kiké there

I praised the acquisition and contract extension Bloom pulled off with RobRef. But thinking that KKH could become an everyday SS was extremely poor judgment and seemed so to some of us at the time.

Hernandez as an everyday SS was clearly not Bloom's plan. Plan A (Bogaerts) got away, and Plans B-E (Story, Mondesi, Chang, Arroyo) are all injured.
Edit: And Bloom acquired Reyes. Cora is the one putting Reyes at 2B for no reason when he's solid at SS.

Precisely. This isn’t a front office problem, it’s a Cora problem. Reyes should be the starting SS until Arroyo or Chang are back.

watching the rays makes you realize how nice it would be to have a good defense

Everyone's excited about Kiké because of his positional versatility then Cora goes and promises him he'll only play him at one spot so he can focus on that

I praised the acquisition and contract extension Bloom pulled off with RobRef. But thinking that KKH could become an everyday SS was extremely poor judgment and seemed so to some of us at the time. TBH, I originally (incorrectly) wasn't worried about Kiké's defense at SS when it was announced. My concern was that he was miscast as an actual asset in the lineup with the bat, and was given way too much rope at the top of the lineup, but I thought he could be serviceable on the dirt and that might provide value. He's proven me right, and wrong. He's a poor hitter with no discipline and a below average fielder with throwing issues who shouldn't be starting and wouldn't be if they weren't so very thin up the middle. At this point I just want it to end. I'd rather play Reyes and Valdez @ SS and 2b until the cavalry comes than see Kiké muff another play and strike out 3x a game.

At this point, I’m genuinely hoping for a sweep this series - from either team.
Sweep the Rays and you definitively get the season back on track.
Get swept, and I don’t have to spend the next 2-3 months convincing myself they have a chance 😂

Games like this kill me, because I watch or listen to every game and watching them give games away with mental mistakes drives me insane.
