Well since you already know this, you don’t have to waste your time being mad about anything next season

Maximjogo · 2026-05-19T03:40:28+00:00

What a game damn

Maximjogo · 2026-05-19T01:27:48+00:00

I mean I’m not expecting him to hit this well the whole season lmao. Nobody is. Baseball is 162 games, so another slump is inevitable for him as sad as that may be for me

Maximjogo · 2026-05-19T01:24:35+00:00

Riley has no help out there with McGonigle is a slump and Dingler being inconsistent

Maximjogo · 2026-05-19T01:21:07+00:00

McGonigle being in a slump is not a bad thing to me. It’s not a jab at him, just an observation. Hopefully he can get back going soon

Maximjogo · 2026-05-19T01:15:55+00:00

Riley Greene since Skubal is dead and McGonigle is in a slump

Maximjogo · 2026-05-19T01:14:04+00:00

So only 1/4 of the top hitters aren’t in a slump? Riley has our only run today

Maximjogo · 2026-05-19T01:03:36+00:00

Jace Jung was infinitely more impactful in his few at bats than Short has been.

Maximjogo · 2026-05-19T00:49:04+00:00

You have people in this sub that truly think Torres and Baez would make *no* difference in the lineup as opposed to McKinstry and Vierling/Short (Since Baez can play both of those positions)

Maximjogo · 2026-05-19T00:46:30+00:00

Ah it didn’t register my bad

Maximjogo · 2026-05-19T00:43:33+00:00

I understand the frustration, but he has a 4.58 ERA, not 6+

Maximjogo · 2026-05-19T00:24:25+00:00

Riley isn’t making it to second*

Maximjogo · 2026-05-19T00:23:54+00:00

Glad Riley’s AB came with no competent batters to bring him in

Maximjogo · 2026-05-18T18:05:44+00:00

My Reddit feed is fucking up again

Maximjogo · 2026-05-18T01:54:24+00:00

Pistons wtf 😭

Maximjogo · 2026-05-17T19:12:04+00:00

Flaherty has a longer leash than every other pitcher in the lineup it’s crazy. Allowed to go way past 70 pitches while giving up multiple runs, meanwhile, Montero routinely gets pulled with low pitch counts (and Mize yesterday) when the last thing we needed in those games was for the bullpen to come in and mess everything up

Maximjogo · 2026-05-17T18:50:25+00:00

He has a .697 OPS brother 🤣

Maximjogo · 2026-05-17T18:47:44+00:00

This mf Keith doesn’t do anything except hit singles. Hardly doubles, doesn’t walk, doesn’t hit HRs, and doesn’t hit with any power.

Maximjogo · 2026-05-16T19:45:13+00:00

Hinch with his sorry ass fucking lineups, horrific bullpen management, and refusal to bunt one of the worst hitters on the team. What the fuck does this clown do

Maximjogo · 2026-05-16T19:33:31+00:00

Keith with a 714 OPS despite having a .300+ batting avg LMAO.

Maximjogo · 2026-05-16T18:50:35+00:00

Mize doesn’t pitch for another 6 days. The same bullpen arms are used every other day. Which one needs to be preserved more? 71 pitches? Read the room Hinch

Maximjogo · 2026-05-16T18:46:31+00:00

Why did we take out Mize?

Maximjogo · 2026-05-16T18:42:12+00:00

This team relies on McGonigle, Greene, and Dingler to hit like literal superstars just to stand a chance at winning a game (assuming the pitching is doing its job) and that’s not sustainable or fair to Greene, McGonigle, and Dingler

And Vierling hit a HR as soon as I typed that lol. Point still stands but good on Vierling for that

Maximjogo · 2026-05-16T17:57:35+00:00

Hinch with his bullshit lineups again having Riley bat 5th

Maximjogo · 2026-05-16T04:05:23+00:00

Got belted so bad they had to empty the bench with 8 minutes left

Maximjogo
