Re: 4/18 - 5/1 Game Discussion Thread

I get losing games/being bad. Lots of teams have had bad/down years...but I can't recall any organization accepting the level of bad being put on the field right now in Atlanta. They aren't just losing, they are getting pummeled on a nearly nightly basis while Fredi just sits there and watches. The players don't care, the manager doesn't seem to care, and the front office/media just keeps saying "the future looks bright". I'm fine with losing if you are putting forth the effort...I'm not fine with just flat out laying down and not caring.

I will feel no emotion all year until Fredi is let go. Hopefully that doesn't take the entire season.

Now that's a way to break out of a slump. 3HR and 5 RBI tonight so far for Cutch.

Re: 4/18 - 5/1 Game Discussion Thread

Cutch has as many homers in three at-bats tonight as the Braves have all season.

There's only one thing better than a Phils victory over the gNats...and that's when the victory over the gNats comes with Brycey (and his hairdo) making the last out.

Shelby Miller has been a mess this year...that trade looking worse and worse for Arizona, and it looked bad the night it was made.

Have yourselves a night, Robinson Cano and Andrew McCutchen.

[thaima1shu]

Re: 4/18 - 5/1 Game Discussion Thread

Cano starting off about 84 times better than last year. Not much in the average department yet but that'll come.

Good stretch for the M's and nice that they're showing up at home so far.

The last time the Cubs had this good of a record through 20 games, they won the World Series.

Andrelton Simmons literally turns in a highlight play every night...guy is amazing.

I was talking to someone about this on Twitter. I was really down on that trade when it happened, but I clearly had not seen him play enough. The plays he makes defensively on a nightly basis are ridiculous. His bat has shown signs of coming around as well. Becoming a big fan of his.

Even if his bat continues to decline as it has done over the last couple years I think his defense makes up for it in spades. He's truly a very special defensive player out there.
