As bad as it feels, one of three is what is expected against a comparable team on the road... Still tough to watch.

It’s hard to do everything wrong in terms of fundamentals and still win games. Today was a nice reminder of that.

I hate to even think about it because this team can look dominating at times. But...can look completely clueless at other times. I don't have confidence that this team could go far into the postseason even if they can make it.

They lost this series they'll win the next in Seattle. If they won it, they would've lost vs the Mariners... It's been like this all year long.

hurts to lose to extra inning games, but no blowouts, in any event. Keep the Faith !! Why though? Sit ur best two hitters when the opponent is using stripling as the bulk guy. Bring winksoski out for the second inning instead of using schreiber for the eighth. Some really weird decisions Add, not to mention terrible defense again and getting doubled off on a ball hit right in front of you that you were watching the entire time to kill the only rally you had the entire game

The issue that’s never going to be fixed with this team is that they are genuinely clueless at the fundamentals of defense and base running. Also Cora’s puzzling at times use and non use of relievers can screw us up even on the best of offensive nights.

I don't have confidence that this team could go far into the postseason even if they can make it. This team looks like they can be so good and then just fall flat. They really needed this series to make a statement that they should be believed in and dropped 2 of 3 playing sloppy baseball.

Chang I can understand that he can't hold himself from swinging at sliders away but Wong? I mean he's a catcher and he knows that when he and his pitcher get ahead 0-2 they try to expand and he still goes fishing! F***!

Sadly if we are looking to blame anyone on offense this series its devers. Pitiful series fielding and batting for him.

Classic Cora can’t manage a bullpen. Such a waste having a good bullpen when the manager is so stupid

Whether it's been the defense, the baserunning, or situational hitting, the baseball gets way too sloppy.

The position players didn’t hit or field their positions well. Lets not look for excuses, half the team didn’t show up the whole weekend.

Devers is having such a pedestrian season. He might heat up for 1-2 games and fall back into his long pattern of zero.

It helps reduce the sting a bit to see the Yankees getting shelled.

It’s on the manager to get his team to show up especially in the middle of a WC race. If Cora can’t do that he shouldn’t be the manager
