  1. Sucks, but not surprised. This team really need to figure out this whole back end of the bullpen issue

  2. That was an especially disappointing ending as Duran wasn’t tagging on that play.

    Oh well. Onto the Mets.

  3. A lot of blame to go around, a lot of dogshit baseball played by the entire team the last two days.

  4. Hell of an effort to make it a game, but god damn Leiter was due for a bad game and we have 0 fucking good options for a 4-4 bot of the 9th game. Maybe you give Keagan the chance to show he’s ready to come back to high leverage spots? I dunno. Tough loss.

  5. Even though Dansby isn’t playing up to his standards defensively this year, that’s on Happ. Was way too late on that one and it costs us the game after a good rally. Let’s take the series in Queens and get back home to face the Brewers

  6. Best news is that every other team in the NLC lost so we technically didn’t lose any ground to milwaukee

  7. Boston had a real closer to bring in and we didn’t. It’s a glaring hole that will continue to cost us games. Up to 5 or 6 already. 

  8. That was a rough loss. Leiter was missing his spots and that sinker to Devers was the most predictable pitch ever. Nothing we could do about that hit though, even if Dansby makes the play, no way he gets him at home

  9. Would’ve been a nice game to steal after being shut down through the 7th. Can’t help but feel like all of the injuries are starting to catch up to this lineup. Hope they can weather the storm

  10. Jesus some of you are so unbearable. Saying Dansby should be “cut” or “sent down to AAA” is ridiculous.

    Happ was playing deep for god knows why and it was a very difficult catch for Dansby to make.

  11. I think Swanson got caught up trying to get in position for a throw after the catch. Little did he know, the runner wasn’t ready to tag and run. Oh well. Was a good fight. Houck is fuckin scary. Onto the Mets
