    Veteran leadership only works if guy is hitting.

    Not going to lie, Kimbrel looks badass when he leans over getting the call from the catcher

    This team has been bad the last two weeks and pitching isn't the problem it's that they've forgotten how to hit

    Sucks to lose, couldn't get the clutch hit today. The Aoki liner in particular had me cussing.

    But when all is said in done, Fiers possible elevation may be the most important development during this rough stretch. He continues to be awesome.

    Wonder what happens if Springer didn't try to score from third with the ball in the infield there, do we go on a run? Possibly.

    The bats should have destroyed their starters weak ****. When Fiers gives you another top pitching performance... argh so damn frustrating

    WE NEED A ROAD TRIP :confused:

    It has to be mental for the bats at home. Too night and day between home and road.

    Fiers' surge continues. Zero HRs surrendered last 4 starts.

    Damn, the offense struggled mightily.. PLUS one of our best relievers gave it up.

    It's okay, but please win the next two. Maybe zero new injuries is the current goal.

    Good grief. Just checked in. 1 lousy run? Means we pissed away a good game from fiers. What happened to this vaunted offense? Who here thinks we will have the best record in baseball next Friday? Hell best record in the AL for that matter? 2-1 isn't on the pitching. It is on this all of a sudden tightening up anemic offense

    7-7 for the month of June so far. Tough loss given how well Fiers performed. Salvage one in this series and hope the lowly As will help us turn it around until health returns to rotation.

    Outstanding start by Fier s. I have to give him all the credit in the world, he has been excellent recently.

    The offense, though... I really hope they can figure this problem out at home before the playoffs.

    All of the things I said earlier about Mike ****ing Fiers...I take it all back.

    For now.
