Usually a game like that can help inject some life and turnaround a season, but that can easily be negated with a dud from Manoah.
Also time to sit JT and give some DH ABs to Jano. Even Kirk’s been hitting better than JT over the last 30 days. Or punt Vogelbach and get Horwitz some run.

I'd give Horwitz a chance personally at DH when Turner has a day off. Vogelbach is useless.

I think the biggest mistake is having Vogelbach DH and not Jansen.

I don't understand the point of Vogelbach if he is going to continue hitting at .500 ops. He is supposed to bring some power, I have not see any of that. He knows his role, if he can't hit while getting sporadic playing time then cut him.

To be fair he will rot here too, how many AB’s is he going to get here?
Circular absolution of blame
Management says they are off the hook because talent didn't talent
Coach says he is off the hook because hitters didn't hit.
Nevermind that the team is charging more to play boeing baseball (on the President), has assembled a deeply flawed, tax-paying team (GM) and has a coach who might as well be drunk (cuz he sure as shit ain't making intelligent decisions).

Here’s hoping they can take some of yesterday’s momentum and build off it. Might need it with Alek on the mound

Horwitz at least has the flexibility to play multiple positions (1B, LF, 2B). Vogelbach can’t even play a position.

I get that, but they already have trouble getting Clement regular AB’s. unless they jettison Biggio to clear the logjam
You mean this dumbass organization struggles to play a good player because they choose to play guys who aren't playing as well (or who are simply worse)

Not sure who you are referring to specifically, but Biggio hasn’t been playing much lately, as he shouldn’t. IKF has been good. Some of the lineup decisions are head scratchers for sure.
I mean Springer is back in the lead off spot and Jansen is sitting, very odd. Jansen should be DH today and Springer should be hitting down the lineup.

Look at Manoah's jersey even though the game hasn't even started yet. And yet Fanatics/Nike tried to say there's nothing wrong with them...

I didn’t see the lineup before the game started. Absolutely a ridiculous decision to put Springer back in the lead off spot with how Schneider has been playing.
the valiant effort
settle down, bud

Clement kicks off the 3rd with a sad error, but redeems himself next batter starting a beautiful DP. That’s my boy

Springer is pretty much toast.
Why he still is hitting leadoff is a great mystery. There is a long list of players who should be batting lead off ahead of him.

Looked like a great pitch but given how bad Bo has been, he's frustrated.
There is no way he should have been installed back in the leadoff spot. Hard to believe.
