Darwinzon looks nice at least Maybe Darwinzon has evolved since last we saw him! I have reasonable doubt about that. He had 18 BBs in 23 IP in Worcester.

If we're going to lose this game, at least let me see what Cora does with this lineup defensively first.

Not sure Plawecki is who I want in this moment, Not sure Dalbec is who I want in this situation. I’m not sure Downs is who I want in this moment.

Make Cora walk to New York so he can think about his “effort” tonight.

Jeter Downs' effort getting to first in that situation is great to see. Really likeable player.

I love how they throw these teases at us only to flop in the end.

That was a brutal game for Cora.
If you are gunna go with Plawecki, Downs etc., why not try to get Verdugo to third and pray for a sac fly? You could let Franchy bunt, then gave Cvaz hit for Plawecki.
I don’t know. If you really think Dalbec and Downs are going to get a *hit* to score that run, you are more optimistic than I am.

They made it close. Thought they might do it. Need one more bat. Hernandez pitched well. Crawford also for 5 innings. Played better defense. Just not their night .

That game was electric shock therapy, don’t watch close and late games against the AL East

You're lucky if Dalbec can make contact. Not sure about Downs, haven't seen enough of him to judge whether he can put at least a bat to the ball.

Maybe Darwinzon has evolved since last we saw him! I have reasonable doubt about that. He had 18 Ks in 23 IP in Worcester. Well mutations can be either positive or negative. Have to see if the resultant physical manifestations (if any) impart any advantages. Otherwise he may lose his niche and may become extinct. Man this game sucked. Everyone on the club should really be angry after this loss - and channel that emotion in the Bronx this weekend.

Could be worse: Jays are losing to the Royals’ AAA team.

What the hell was the point of keeping all this supposed depth if everyone just sucks? The starter depth has been a godsend but the bullpen "depth" and position player "depth" has gotten us nothing.

I'm not, and never have been, a Cora fan. I have no interest in defending him. But it's pretty easy to make the case that Vazquez is the best chance you have to score the run. And as a supposedly reliable vet, you'd like to think he had a good chance to move the runners up even if he didn't get a hit. Him fouling out to the C is pathetic, to put it kindly.

They suck at the moment, managerial malpractice aside, because the starting rotation has been mostly AAA depth for 2+ weeks and meanwhile we're facing only likely playoff teams. The position side of the ball is a complete mess. Devers is hurt and playing through a bad back. Kiké is out indefinitely. Too many players playing out of position like Franchy and Duran. All you have is Verdugo, Devers, JDM, Xander, and Vazquez who might be due for a regression (haven't checked his BABip numbers but I'm sure they agree).
