Are we enjoying the "step back" season yet? What a waste and what a joke.

Season sucks but the rebuild I would give a B+. No pain no gain.

What did you expect from a step back? This is pretty much what I planned on.

The only reason this season seemed painful at all was the 13-2 start that flashed the teams potential.

They won't be this bad forever. I mean, Evan White's on his way.

Remove the bad players from the team and insert good players and we're not a bad team.

When Mallex Smith and Dylan Moore are starting outfielders with Tim Beckham being your best outfielder, you're going to lose.

Put Haniger and Santana out there with Fraley, Encarnacion at DH and Cole/Bumgarner at the TOR and we're contending.

Just depends how Dipoto fills out the holes going forward. They may leave all holes vacant in 2020 to keep flingin spaghetti.

But, I do have confidence that those holes will be filled by 2021.

Mallex, our leadoff hitter with a .301 OBP and that is after his amazing "resurgence" Hard to fathom that he is getting defended.

13 straight innings without a hit.

Edit: 14 now

My 12 year old son could have gone 1st to 3rd on that!

Seriously? The 3rd Baseman had to run the ball down into the LF corner...and we move 90 feet? That is disgusting. Is it football season yet?

The streak is over.........on an inf single. lol
