  1. Sucks we couldn’t sweep and get back into a WC spot, but we are only 1.5 games back AND own the tiebreaker vs Kansas, so a fantastic series

  2. Well 2/3 ain’t bad I guess. 4 runs and 2HRs against Ragans, can’t ask for much more

  3. We literally do not have a single good starting pitcher right now. Like not one good one.

  4. They went 4 for 6 on the road. If you’re sour about that, I don’t know what to tell you. Time to make up ground at home against very beatable teams.

  5. Offense usually slows down in the postseason so at some point this team is going to have to rely on their pitching and fucking WOOF

  6. Would’ve been nice to leapfrog KC but 1.5 out from the Royals and 2 from the Twins ain’t bad. 4-2 is a successful road trip, I’ll take it. Get ready for Houston.

  7. Objectively great start to a brutal month. Still keeping up a good pace. We’ll overtake KC sooner than later if we can maintain it.

  8. Kutter and Bello need better command within the strike zone, tonight Crawford kinda got fucked on a 3-2 pitch to the leadoff hitter but he also had Witt 0-2 and threw a pitch that was hittable

  9. With the way Kutter has been playing and the knockout power KC has in their lineup this one always felt like it was going to be an L. Very glad we were able to gut out the series win in the first two games cause yeah it was not happening tonight.

  10. Would’ve loved a sweep but I’ll take this any day

    But holy shit can the pitching at least be average please
