Check swings and pop ups...

On first pitches. What a great freaking approach.

Is this what Shildt meant by “we are going to F them up”? Most embarrassing display in recent memory for a playoff team.

And we have 3 lefties in the bullpen so we can pitch a tired Wainwright until he gives up a crooked number in the 8th freakin inning. Unbelievable

Got lucky vs. the Braves leaving Waino in too long. Not today. It’d be one thing if Waino was left in so late during the regular season. Why do it in postseason?

Maybe their trying way to hard to get something going. Jose made him work and got the hit. Would be nice if the rest of the lineup would do the same.

I was sure wondering why Miller was warming in the pen then NOT bring him in for the LH hitter. I also wonder now if they have to put Edman back on 3rd and Martinez in RF to give him 3 or 4 AB's a game. If not that then put Bader in CF and at least get his defense since Fowler ain't gettin it done. I saw at least 2 balls today I think Bader would have caught out there.

That was maddening. Bring in Miller. So so dumb. He got lucky leaving Waino too long in Game 3. He got lucky pulling Helsley and bringing in CMart in Game 4. His mismanagement is noticeable. The lack of offense is just brutal. Bad, bad baseball last two games. Makes it a tough hill to climb. Need a little Blue Note magic now.

He won’t change a damned thing with the lineup other than to maybe swap Marp for Bader. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Oh wait...

I guess we should have known after they scorched the base paths against Atlanta there would be an awful offensive drought again. Too bad it had to come at home, TWICE!

If you noticed, that happened often during the season - an explosive offensive game followed by two games with basically nothing. Hope that trend continues. If so, they’d be due to get 3-5 runs a game over the next few before the next drought.

Unfortunately I remember that all too well.
