The season started with most thinking we will hit but not sure if pitching injuries and rehab arms will make the grade. Pitching was a surprise and we hit sometimes especially when there was nobody on base. Currently, only the White Sox are worse then us with runners in scoring position.

Injury and overuse has decimated the pitching staff. I would also say we have had some bad luck.

My father always said that there are times you have to make your own luck.

We have three young third baseman that take turns showing that they belong. We have a half dozen young guys in the minors getting ready for the opportunity to show that they belong.

That is great If you're looking to win in a few years. We set the table to win NOW!

We need some help to do it NOW! Let s use some of them to get what we need!

Our top of the order is one of the best but bottom half needs help!

We need to trade for a right handed bat. (A center fielder and DH who can hit would be nice)

We need to grab the best starting pitcher available before the deadline.

This team can win we just need to add a little help.

I wish there could have been a fired up fan rep attend the players only meeting to add some input. I.e. "You're killing us."

Blackburn no tiene nivel de lanzador de Grandes Ligas, me recuerda a Megill en sus peores momentos, que son la mayoría.

Veo al equipo actual como un muerto viviente que en cualquier momento se desplomará para no volver a levantarse. Es como un barco a la deriva que en cualquier momento puede encallar definitivamente (hoy tengo un día poético...).

Por cierto, ¿era necesario esperar al ridículo de los dos últimos partidos para hacer la famosa reunión de "solo jugadores"? ¿No hubiera sido necesario hacerla ya hace un par de semanas?

Si realmente tenemos que acordarnos de Iglesias como solución a nuestros problemas actuales es que estamos realmente mal. Adoro a José y todo lo que hizo sobre el terreno de juego la temporada pasada (la canción me sobraba), pero opino que no es bueno mirar al pasado a la desesperada.

Google translation:If we really need to remember Iglesias as a solution to our current problems, we're in really bad shape. I love José and everything he did on the pitch last season (the song was superfluous), but I think it's not good to look to the past in despair.

Today they lost 12-1. I'm looking forward to your analysis tomorrow. I thought today's was rock bottom in terms of their abilities but apparently it was not. I guess tomorrow will be the final post mortem.

As Lindor said, everyone is going through it in the same way at the same time (except for Soto). Hopefully, that means everyone will break out of it together and we'll get back on the right track.

But I have the feeling it won't happen until after the All-Star break.
