Stearns needs to go too, but I don't see that happening

Yeah, but we needed to be better defensively was the answer right? Maybe I need to go back and !listen to Boy Genuis.

Gut punch.

Speechless 

[Casey Stengel]

the word pathetic does not even do justice to adequately describe this freefall. it appears to only be a continuation of last years debacles. i dont know whose sins we are paying for but i can only hope that we balance the books pretty soon.

It probably wouldn’t have made a difference but don’t you walk Nico Hoerner and set up the double play?  Makes no sense. 
 

maybe Mendy just punted knowing they weren’t going to score and didn’t want to burn any more bullpen. 

[Lefty Specialist]

Maybe we needed Kimbrel to throw his glove into the stands.

There's basically no way to win another game for the forseeable future.  Even when they get good pitching they get no offense.  To be fair, even when they get bad pitching they get no offense.

No, that would have been the right move to make.

I didn't see it at the time, because heightened emotion makes me stupid(er).

Obviously there are bigger issues right now but we can’t let this game go by without observing that a team won in extra innings without any Hits. Walks, HBP, or runners reaching on errors or dropped third strikes.

I’ll never forgive Rob Manfred for perverting baseball like this.

I guess the saddest part is that we hoped the road trip would end their losing, because now we’re hoping that a home stand will end their losing
