grego Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 1st and 2nd, 2 leadoff walks. No outs. Zero runs scored. Shocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo#44 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 You see signs of them breaking out--getting so, so many people on--and then ****ting the bed completely. We have so many holes right now: Roark, Gio, Bryce, Catcher in general, Madson.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't one guy not getting the clutch hit or moving the line. Wasn't one pitcher getting lit up constantly. Full team effort of sucktitude, all year. Can't even blame Davey, imo. Just one of those years. No juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoVaSkins21 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 The reasons for this lost season started long before the season when they didn't bring Dusty back. IMO, you don't hand over a veteran team over to a rookie manager. Dusty had a good relationship with them, especially Bryce IMO. I think Bryce respected him a lot. If Martinez was given a young team, then struggles could've been expected. Just because he was on Joe Maddon's staff, doesn't mean he was going to be a Joe Maddon clone. Martinez is a .500 manager and that's it. Maybe he'll get there, I don't know. The Lerners made their bed last offseason and now they, and rest of us are lying in it.

Red Sox did, Yankees did, 2016 Dodgers did, for the 2nd time, they did it with Mattingly also. The manager has very little to do with this debacke. Dusty definitely would not be doing any better.

I may add injuries to the list, but all things do start at the top. I really hope that Harper comes back, even though he's struggling this year because he's the face of this franchise and if he does leave, it will back to square one for this franchise. Soto may be good but he's a complete unknown at this point to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Obviously, managers can do some incredibly stupid things over the course of the season, but if Martinez was holding the team back, you would have noticed by now. He's not putting his team in a poor position to win every day, they just aren't executing for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I knew his "luck" was down, but didn't realize the numbers were that drastic that said, it seems like he's just been in worse counts during this stretch despite his high number of walks. During that one particular bad stretch of his, it seemed like he was 0-2 every count in the blink of an eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point, players gotta play. He isn't making colossally stupid in-game decisions--like Matt Williams loading the bases for Lucas Duda, who had already homered twice in the game. Much of it is injuries and bad luck. How many times have we scorched balls right at people, especially with men on? There is a lot of poor performance too--Roark, Gio, Madson, Catcher etc, so this isn't a just a case of the baseball gods hating us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Luck might explain a little bit of a drop off in average, but when you're hitting sub .220, you're straight up stinking up the joint. He's swinging at bad balls and chasing because the team is struggling and he's putting the onus on himself to put up #s and carry the team. We've seen him do that before.
