1. Fire Q, Fire Zum, move Garcia to 3rd. Good lord this team is mismanaged

2. Shoulda won. Damn. Front office better go get an OF bat. Then call up Cags later this summer. Gonna waste our elite pitching. We still had the game in hand tonight. Q should have went to the pen to start the 8th

3. Not a great series, sucks Renfroe missing a homerun by a foot cost us the game. Hope we can have a get right series against the Cardinals while at home. Let’s go royals.

4. Uh oh bad vibes return

5. Is Vinnie hurting more than he is helping at this point?

6. Matt Quatraro doesn’t know how to manage a pitching staff.

   And the front office failed this team by not adding a single bat outside of whatever Jonathan India is.

7. Incredibly tough game for Vinnie

8. Gotta get Vinny and Salvy to stop impersonating MJ Melendez

9. Zumwalt out when?

10. I was hoping to catch up to Cleveland, maybe even Detroit if the bats really got going. Now I’m worried about Minnesota catching up lol. Tough but at least there’s still a lot of baseball left. Would really like to see some consistent offensive production and some better management. 

11. Should have gone to Lynch in the 8th but I can totally understand why they kept Lorenzen in when he was looking fine in 7th.

    Sucks, but also it always sucks playing the Asstros.

12. Y’all I don’t think the bats are gonna “turn it around.” Strap in folks.

13. This loss is on Q. No reason to send Lorenzen back out for the eighth inning. Have to pull Lorenzen when he lets up the single to Dezenzo.

14. Bright side is we have a good shot to make the playoffs again for the second year in a row. That hasn’t happened for a while. We could be total ass again so there’s that. Glass half full

15. Detroit walked off Boston for the 2nd night in a row to sweep them. Twins swept a double header today… Jfc we could fall to 4th place over the weekend. The AL Central is ridiculous right now. We’d be in 1st place in 3/5 of the other divisions with our current record.

16. if maikel batted third like i’ve wanted for weeks, his HR would’ve been another run for us

    really think the hitting and lineup order should be blamed for these losses much more than the pitching management

17. Not a lot of options but have to try Garcia and anyone else not named Vinnie or Salvy in the 3 and 4 spots

18. I hate to say it, but these 2 games were winnable, offense still needs work. Oh well, onto the next series. Go Royals.

19. Got reported for self-harm for calling out the moronic comments. Might take a break from here until football season when all those people leave to complain about the Chiefs.

20. too many of our good players go cold too often and for too long. It has to be a mental problem at this point . Get out of your heads and play some fuckng ball

21. Q is actually defending his decision to keep Lorenzen in and was actually sounding super happy -_-

22. You are absolutely going to lose games like tonight and yesterday regardless of your pitching. That’s why you gotta score more than 3 runs. 🫠

23. 

24. As soon as Quatraro kept Lorenzen in after allowing a baserunner in the 8th, I knew exactly how this one was going to end. I turned it off after he gave up the tying run. The offense got their requisite 3 runs and figured that would be enough to hold up. Seemed like after that little rally to get the third run, every batter from then on just closed their eyes and either swung three times or didn’t even bother to do that much work and got called out “looking” to go sit back down ASAP. Something like 7 of the last 10 outs we made came by strikeout? Pitching for this team has to be so fucking infuriating.

    On another note, if I was Hunter Renfroe I would retire and give my salary back out of shame. He’s got to feel like he’s getting away with robbery cashing those checks to produce negative WAR week after week. We could be paying him the federal minimum wage and it would still be a ripoff. He’s an old, slow, shitty DH we pretend can play outfield, that used to hit home runs 4+ years ago but is now a true zero-tool player. No average, no power, no plate discipline, no speed, no defense. He should have been DFA’d weeks ago, but failing that, should have been fired between the plate and the dugout after that one pitch pop out in the 8th. I don’t even want his ass on the plane. He can hitch a ride back to KC or whatever.

    One more thing and I’m done venting: Salvy. I love you. You’re the captain and a KC legend. They should make you a statue at the K. But at this point in your career, it should be a fireable offense for any pitcher to throw you a fastball. In fact, throwing anything other than specifically breaking balls low and away to you should be grounds for any pitcher to at the very least be pulled from the game if not cut from the team outright, because they’re not doing their best to help the team win. My son could strike you out with a slider or curve low and outside, and he’s not due to be born until July.

    I’m excessively salty because I had a long terrible day including the alternator deciding to die on my car less than two years after we just replaced it. For some reason I put my faith in this team to help raise my spirits and instead they pissed me off for losing yet another extremely winnable game. But hell, it doesn’t really matter since everyone else in the division but Chicago wins every day anyway and it’s impossible to gain any ground on anyone. And for the next 3-4 years it’s all just kicking and fighting and scratching for the privilege to be the ones to lose to the half a billion dollar Dodgers in the World Series. Hallelujah, holy shit, where’s the Tylenol?

25. Maybe we should have signed an outfield bat and we wouldn’t be bottom of the league in offense.

    “Oh but who would you have signed?” the perma-defenders yell.

    I don’t know, I’m not the GM of an MLB team. If that was my job, I probably would have done more than the magical “nothing.”

26. Left Lorensen in too long. Starters all had hits except Salvy and Pasquatch. They are batting .220 and .221 and still batting third and fourth. Garcia 2 hits.l

27. we have a good bullpen but that does not help if we leave the starter in too long.
