I think 20 hits and six home runs against says it all. Thank you, next.

You go down 4-0 after a single frame, what would you hope happens? A home run in the top of the 2nd could have been just what this team needed to turn things around. Maybe last year’s team would have taken advantage.

The only reason Brayan Bello isn’t in the bullpen or frankly in AAA is because there’s no Sonny Gray or Johan Oviedo. Even at that point, I’d rather have Payton Tolle take Bello’s spot at this point. Caleb Durbin may be the worst hitter in baseball. Jarren Duran still looks absolutely lost. This team has absolutely no spark. Frankly, I’m thinking this isn’t just a firing Pete Fatse solution, as much as that’s the first course of action bar none.
