Yeah, but we're out of pitchers too, cuz it don't look like Torres is going to finish this inning.

This is a nightmare ... shoulda went to sleep and
had some sweeter dreams.

Should be taking a strike, Wrighty. He's still K-Rod.

They all go down hacking. Like suckers.

This is getting bad.

What's the next thing to happen?

[Edgy MD]

I was thinking they have to try something with regard to Young, but it's not like he's the worst thing they've got going.

The arms are ready before the bats are. We knew that was how things were unfolding, but didn't quite know it would be this stark. It's scarcely noticeable, because the distinctions between starters and reserves are so blurred, but their three "starting" outfielders --- that is, those who've gotten the plurality of the team's outfield starts --- were all down with injuries last night.

[Edgy MD]

Laggy really bit the big one with the bases loaded there, taking a fastball over the heart of the plate for strike one, and then tapping out to the drawn-in infield on the slider away.

Wally Backman

[Edgy MD]

A leadership change may well be a-brew, but Wallace isn't the only candidate.

No doubt many desire a team that reflects Wally's reputation fire. If fire gets Flores to rip that first fastball into the gap, instead of tapping out to first on the slider away, I'm all for it.

I don't think they go management-whacking 2 times in a row, unless it comes out that David Wright is tuning him out or Terry beats his wife or something.

I think a player personnel move has to happen, and maybe something significant. Maybe they move Muffy, along with deGrom.
