Would love to know the team's K-rate man on 3rd less than 2 outs.

Another game where I dislike the team’s stance that Yoshida can never play the field under any circumstances. He’s hitting well, righty starter, and in theory he could play left and you could sit Westbrook. Instead we’re starting a bad defensive 2B with a wRC+ below 0 (SSS) against righties this year This choice isn't even helping the outfield defense today lol

Tough to have Dom, Romy and Reece as the batters in these big spots. We are already 0 for 6 RISP

They won 2 of 3 against KC, CLE & PHI earlier this year. Should those teams pack it in? we're at the deadline and trying to decide if we are for real or not, the Phillies and Guardians have proven themselves repeatedly. Royals are in a similar position to us but they also had a point where they were one of the best teams in baseball this year. We've been consistently hovering around the third wild card, and our peak was what... second wildcard I think? I'm not saying 100% pack it in, but it's hard to justify adding to a team that at its most critical time is losing a series to the Rockies. Who is trying to decide ? This team is for real. 28-21 since May 24th. There is no reason to believe this team can not continue to compete for a post season spot. The best thing to do is add to keep the odds up.

This team has face-planted since the All Star break.
Sell, baby, sell.

Brad Stevens recently talked about what a professional player "is capable of" versus how he was statistically "expected" to perform. He suggested one should never lose sight of how dangerous another team is, no matter the record. Recently the A's put 18 on the Phillies, six days after putting 19 on the Orioles. It happens. Often.

.500 magnet is pulling hard. We got to escape it's magnetic field once we get home. We will. I believe in this team, been a lot of good games.
The Dodger series and this....games were coin flips on most. We just the wrong side of the coin a few times.

Cal Quantrill isn’t good enough to be as much of a dickhead as he is

Why did the benches clear? I didn't see anything. Quantrill started yelling at McGuire for no reason and brought up the parking lot incident. He has a history of being a tool bag on the mound, I attribute it to him being a spoiled rich kid

This team is just a holding place for the next crop. So, as the saying goes, wait 'till next year. Off season holds...not counting pitchers, Devers, Duran, Casas, Wong. The rest can be traded or let go.

Anyone remember the 28-5 loss to Toronto in July 2022? Eovaldi, Austin Davis, the immortal Ort cloud and - remember Darwinzon? - gave up 27 of them.
This game doesn't quite remind me of that - yet.

Duran has something to say to Quantrill with his bat.

Well, the 28-5 game is now very clearly coming into focus for me.
