  I hate the dolans and I hate agreeing with Iggy. This team stinks.

  This team freaking sucks.
  
  It is built around pitching and defense and we have neither.
  
  Our best freaking pitcher right now is pitching in Atlanta for peanuts leading the majors in ERA while Carasco is kicked out of the rotation because he sucks.
  
  This defense is abysmal and it literally has cost us games. No small feat these days.
  
  The Dolan's will get what they deserve this summer when about 6 people are at the games because we are well out of contention. I just feel sorry for the season ticket holders that were duped into believing the Dolan's gave a shit after last years "playoff" run where we were bounced in the play in game.
  
  That family is a pox on the face of the city and I detest them.

  The Dolans suck a fat one but Jesus....if you weren't bitching/complaining you'd probably stop breathing.

  That last line really got me. I may be using that one. Bravo.
  
  I still think they are fine. The starters except for Carrasco, and a couple of innings where Salazar has blown up, have been good enough. McAllister has been great. Kluber has shown some flashes of greatness. Remember, his first 2 or 3 starts this year were rained out and he had to go the next day. So now that he is in a normal rhythm, he has looked better. Just need the bats to wake up, which they will. As somebody stated early in this thread, with the batting averages they are sporting, it is amazing they haven't buried themselves in the standings. They just need to avoid a sweep here in LA and then get back home for some home cooking against division teams.
  
  I will agree that the Dolans suck but I am not ready to bury this team a month into a 6 month season.

  Carrasco is no longer a starter.

  I'm not throwing in the towel on these guys (I haven't in 25 years so why start now)....but some urgency in uprighting the ship is in order.

  I do agree. They gotta get going. As Laley pointed out, Kipnis and Swisher are coming around. Maybe the homer for Santana will get him going. They were playing well heading to San Francisco and potentially could have won 2 of 3 there if a couple ball bounce differently but that is baseball. The thing that is driving me (and appartently everybody else) crazy is the sloppy defense. I understand guys getting off to a slow start hitting...happens to the best of them...but there is really no excuse for a professional ball club to be so sloppy in the field.
  
  If this were a Little League or High School team, the coach wouldn't even bother getting the bats out at practice after some of the defensive performances so far. It would be all fielding drills mixed in with running for all the errors.

  Don't we have some guys on here that have some type of front office connections? Let's get Dolan liquored up and record his ass saying something ridiculous about minorities so MLB forces him to sell the team. Best shot we have.

  lol. I know DiBiaso pretty well. Ill probably see him this summer, but not living in Ohio it will be difficult...maybe at my wedding (but that will have to wait till NEXT summer).

  Fucking Mike Trout.

  Annnnnnd Kipnis most likely to the DL. Fucking great.

  ...this is turning into the road trip from hell.....
• Laley23

  

  At least Santana has had back to back good games...and Brantley got a hit for the first time this decade (where was the outrage over his slump???)
• Glory Days

  

  I take full responsibility. Last year I went to all 3 games in Anaheim and we swept them.
• Laley23

  

  Assholes are keeping me up late. I have to work in the morning.

  Damn.....Giambi needs to hit the weight room.....
• Laley23

  

  We are going to lose, again, because of terrible defense. Asdrubal gave up a hit on a play that shouldve been made.
  
  EDIT: They actually gave him an error, thank God.
• ohiobucks1

  

  I hate Assdribble. When's Lindor coming? What are his stats like?

  Not before June 1 (I think)...when his arbitration will be pushed back another year.
• Laley23

  

  No way was he out.
  
  The people in NY need to stop with the "conclusive" bullshit. Just use common sense. In what world was that not a tie? Its the same issue the NFL has had for years, and, basketball recently.

  yeah I think that replay is the closest you will get to an exact tie.
• IggyPride00

  

  Unforced errors are just crippling this team right now. Basic fundamentals seemingly non-existent.

  HA. John McDonald.

  11-16. The only sub .500 team in the AL central....that's bad....
