Well, we'll see if Rosario can pitch.

Didn't realize it was an early start. Just tuned in and am glad I missed the massacre. Holy moly.

If you've reached the point of throwing in a position player to throw eephus pitches, you should be able to just agree to call the game and go home.

So Rosario is obviously not an answer for the bullpen.

There's something to be said for Banana Ball's scoring system.

I was thinking he'd fit right in.

Is this officially rock bottom for the franchise?

Last season's 17-0 loss to the Diamondbacks was probably worse.

I know people take losses hard, but Martinez did turn out to be the right guy for the 2019 team.

With the talent on that team, Inanimate Carbon Rod should have won a WS. So maybe you're right...

Inanimate Carbon Rod has trouble with 19-31, and they got there mostly through injuries, not him messing things up.

Seems odd to argue that Rizzo built an aaa team because of mark lerner’s cheapness, but now that the team is in third place davey is a horrible manager. It’s as if one starts with a conclusion in mind and cherry picks whatever they can to make their point.

AJ Hinch watched the World Series clang off the foul pole with Gerrit Cole standing in the bullpen. Martinez was easily the better manager that series.

Matt Williams flushed a 96-win team out of the playoffs by himself and then ruined the next season with his personality.

You could do a lot worse than Martinez with a talented roster.
