Speaking of corpses we should've dumped at the deadline, James Paxton turned back into a pumpkin over the last 3 starts

And speaking of corpses we should never have picked up... It's this guy

Here's the issue for me: It was a 4-2 game with the top of the lineup scheduled. Cora needs to stop "saving" the top half of the pen for games where they are leading.

That should have been a Winck inning

Seems like Turner being out would be a good excuse to activate Story, but I guess we don’t want to rush it and risk him not hitting well out of the gate. While we play a SS hitting .160.

100%. Now the game is essentially over because Cora threw up the white flag in the 6th, down by 2, after a day off.

Bullpen management is fucking atrocious.

The offense has still not come out of its west coast skunk.
Puts too much pressure on the pitching staff to be perfect when we are scoring 2 runs a game.

Outside of Duran and Urias every at bat tonight has basically been the equivalent of an extra inning AB where everyone is stupidly trying to end it with one swing. The RHH especially have been abysmal. Turner being out is a massive hole.

This has been my #1 complaint of the Cora era.

These guys make hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars to play ball. If they think they need a fucking message from the front office at the trade deadline then what really need to go fuck themselves.
