    Had lots of chances, blew them all. Very disappointing series at a bad time in the season.

    Exactly ! At times they look unbeatable but then they look like a bottom dweller cellar team

    **** that high from those high scoring games just completely vanished. Went from on top of the world to being afraid we might get knocked out the first round to the As.

    We ain't getting home field advantage with the Yankees. I think that ship has sailed. Man just have bad vibes now.

    Team RISP: 0-for-10

    Pretty much says it all.

    Ever since Miley wet the bed, this team has looked lost, especially at the plate with RISP. Base running mistakes, inability to hit with RISP. Now we are 2 back of the freakin' yankees....

    Oof. Well, tomorrow is another day.

    I could say I'm not happy about bases loaded in the 8th and two on in the 9th, with no runs to show for it, but I'm sure they're kicking their own asses about it right now. Still have the overall season series 11-7, but I don't feel great about it.

    Better it happens now than in the ALDS.

    If we exit first round is Hinch on the hot seat? Let the criticisms begin.

    The clutch "it factor" isn't in this team this season. They have been mediocre at best with RIZp all season.

    Cintron deserves some blame for this... what is he telling these guys? At least bunt or get the runner over to third with less than 2 outs...

    How have we done against GOOD teams this year. Yanks. A’s. Rays. Twins. Just seems like we don’t exactly blow them away. Lost series to twins. Squeaked by yanks. Think we lost to the rays. I mean unless we are hanging around the dumpster with the rats our play isn’t all that inspiring.

    Is anyone here honestly comfortable with the Yanks having home field with that hard throwing lefty bullpen?

    Probably not the hot seat but it would be a huge failure especially after going all in for Grienke. This team is not disciplined enough on the base paths and they have run themselves out of games and that's a poor reflection on him that this team is still brain dead on the bases.

    LOL. No. The front office isn't bipolar like fans.

    I don't understand why they didn't start playing small ball with all those guys in scoring position. You got guys swinging for the damn fences every time. Thank God Yuri got back in the lineup.... he actually hit for contact.

    Springer always wants to walk off. He always goes to a knee in those situations.
