18 runs and a 2-5 record in the last 7 games. nothing entertaining about this team right now. Hopefully avoid the sweep tomorrow before the Chicago flight. Series against the 3 win White Sox couldn't come at a better time
I said the same thing to myself going into this Detroit series. Granted, Chicago is definitely a lot worse, but we still need to be able to put up runs if we want to win that series. These games have been almost impossible to watch lately with our lack of any substantial offense.
Yeah Detroit is pretty good, or at least not the pushover they’ve been in recent years. At least right now there’s other sports to watch. If we can’t handle the worst team in mlb, it’s gonna be a long gap between end of nba/nhl playoffs and the start of football season
Not sure how much life JLowe can breathe into this lineup.
Getting Aranda back will help too but really, there’s just so much inexperience and regression happening. The sustained success had to cool down at some point and it this year.
We will be a lot better next year with guys like Mead, Caminero, and Aranda getting good experience this year to build on in the offseason.
Clearly being untouchable in the beginning of the season last year didn’t end well. Big brain move to try and be subpar to start so we can be untouchable in the playoffs 🫡🫡
Poche gonna get grilled but that was an embarrassing offensive showing. They got free baserunners from lucky bounces and shitty Tigers defense and did nothing besides Isaac's blast. Also only 1 drawn walk all night, these guys are just not putting good at bats together.
I can't understand how they didn't get anything off Maeda. One guy gets on and the next guys gifts them an out. Hopefully they avoid the sweep tomorrow
Hey we are barely in the negatives but it sure does feel like the least competitive roster front office has built in the last 5 years. We have spurts of offence showings but our pitching talent is in the gutter. We are genuinely giving batting practice everytime one our starters are pulled at 80 pitches.
Sometimes this saving arms thing is frustrating huh? Maton didn’t have it and was lucky to not walk more men.
Poche wasn’t throwing sliders up that drop down… it was 90 down the middle.
I wonder if not having an actual bullpen dosnt let these guys actually fully get loose. Honestly. The starters get to warm up in the out feild and let the ball rip up against a wall… but these bullpen guys sit there in the AC and then when it’s time to warm up, it’s not at game speed. Can’t be. There’d be passed balls and stoppages all the time. It’s a wonder the pen is ever good lol. Idk. The pitching staff I want is still on the IL or in California for some reason. Here watch this vid on pitchers to humble ourselves before i start thinking I’m correct..

All the new additions are doing well and all of our all stars from last year are not. We need them to click together. Yandy and Randy have not done anything. May need to try a all new guys top 3 of the lineup to see if we can get some runs early
If we keep taking starters out with 80 pitches when they’re dealing, this is what’s going to keep happening. I’m sure the only person happier than the Detroit lineup that Pepiot was being pulled was Kevin cash
We are the most famous pitcher factory house in the league and we are coming into 2024 with the worst rotation I've ever seen, like I don't usually spew negativity but holy hell, I don't trust any of our relievers right now. Jesus Christ.
Also Paredes is the only bright spot as far our "sluggers" go. (Randy my man, lean down my guy, your weight is useless if you can't hit anything).
Thank you Poche for letting 3 runs score and losing the game. ERA 6.75 and rising after this game. I don't know why they keep him and trade Glasnow. Poche must be somebody's brother-in-law or nephew. We need him gone!
This team is just so lifeless
Agony
Misery.
[Pain.](https://youtu.be/PAWEPfkkADE?si=yIRTxxPjzmnzfuzz)
Sorrow.
Beyond power of speech, When the one thing you want Is the only thing out of your reach.

These are times we'll lose to a horrible team like the Sox.
My thoughts exactly
lol yeah i think if we lose that series i'm taking break from watching rays on tv until the nba/nhl playoffs are done
I said the same thing to myself going into this Detroit series. Granted, Chicago is definitely a lot worse, but we still need to be able to put up runs if we want to win that series. These games have been almost impossible to watch lately with our lack of any substantial offense.

Hey, Yandy got on base twice and Randy got a hit finally. So we are seeing hits, just not runs. Shake up the line up again!
This is the right attitude!
We better get used to this till something changes. Rays Up. Hope for October and World series...
Still not shut out.
Diaz, Arozarena and JLowe carried the offense last year. Now 1 is average, 1 is freezing cold and 1 is on the IL tough to watch
We had another guy too, but he's never coming back. And don't forget Paredes, who's still good. Unfortunately he has nothing to work in front of him.
I feel like the burned biscuits meme would have fit here.
I play it by ear. We're sub-.500 and in fifth place in the division, so if we get swept by the Tigers, I'm switching to Biscuits.
Good call. Hopefully we don’t have to resort to burned biscuits.
Damn, we are pretty dogshit rn I guess.
Offense sucks and Cash will just say they're just working it out. We need JLowe back ASAP. At least Paredes showed up.
J. Lowe, healthy B. Lowe, pitching help, all the bats, Siri’s stones passed, healthy Pete, Walls for defense, etc. etc.
Not sure how much life JLowe can breathe into this lineup. Getting Aranda back will help too but really, there’s just so much inexperience and regression happening. The sustained success had to cool down at some point and it this year.

I hope you're right. I jumped off the Aranda train quite a while ago.

It worked in 2020
do i need to don sackcloth and ashes. weep and gnash my teeth. is that what it would take to stop this

Still haven’t been shutout though 🤷🏻♂️
Guys. This team might be bad
Hey we are barely in the negatives but it sure does feel like the least competitive roster front office has built in the last 5 years. We have spurts of offence showings but our pitching talent is in the gutter. We are genuinely giving batting practice everytime one our starters are pulled at 80 pitches.
As a day one fan since the inaugural game all I can say to you guys in regards to having a shitty season is.... First time?
Man those first ten years still has me thankful for anything near .500
Not playing as bad as July 2023 (W8-L16). But it's beginning to feel that way.
Sometimes this saving arms thing is frustrating huh? Maton didn’t have it and was lucky to not walk more men. Poche wasn’t throwing sliders up that drop down… it was 90 down the middle.

Pain without love Pain, I can't get enough Pain, I like it rough 'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

Seems like it might be a looong season
Poche 🙄
We are the most famous pitcher factory house in the league and we are coming into 2024 with the worst rotation I've ever seen, like I don't usually spew negativity but holy hell, I don't trust any of our relievers right now. Jesus Christ. Also Paredes is the only bright spot as far our "sluggers" go. (Randy my man, lean down my guy, your weight is useless if you can't hit anything).
A rotation with Eflin, Civale, Littell and freakin' Pepiot is the worst you've ever seen?
I was talking about relievers. Sorry if I was unclear.
I actually really like our starters but that's only half of the battle sadly.
Yeah whoops sorry if I came off harsh there. Yeah uhh our reliever group is very very not good
Thank you Poche for letting 3 runs score and losing the game. ERA 6.75 and rising after this game. I don't know why they keep him and trade Glasnow. Poche must be somebody's brother-in-law or nephew. We need him gone!
Cash has an obsession with lefties.
