Peacock has 9 meltdowns this year coming in to tonight.

For comparison, he had 0 last year. And everybody’s favorite whipping boy, Giles, has 8 last year and this year combined (only 3 this season).

Peacock has been bad, no doubt. These past two years, he’s gone opposite of the expectations. With that in mind, I’m going to start expecting him to be awful.

Ugh, ugly game. Didn't like this series going in and this wasn't a good start. Flush it and get back to winning, we face a LHP tomorrow, so not really expecting great offensive showing, regardless of what our numbers say.

having yuli sit (while correa is out) really hurts our lineup.  tucker is still finding his way, marwin hasn't been anything special, and white and fed cannot be counted on.  i know he had two hits, but springer is ice cold.  that's a big gap from 6-1.  and it's not like reddick is a prototypical cleanup man either.

these guys get 4 full days off in a week.  can they not rest then?

Bingo. Was thinking the exact same as soon as the last out was recorded.
The bottom 3 in our order was starting in Fresno as of ~3 weeks ago.

Yuli sitting is bull crap for sure. White trade value isn’t going up.

Have no fear...I will be there tonight for my 5th walk off in 6 games (the other game was like a 7-0 shutout win).

Tyler White shows why he was drafted in the 33th round.  Not pinch hitting Yuli for him in the 8th is beyond idiotic and just plain retarded.   Then not pinch hitting Stassi for Fedorawearingzits is almost as criminal.  

win the next 6

So we've got our own version of Moneyball, now.  This was released today, by the dude who wrote the Sports Illustrated article back in 2014:
