Ha! Kirby plays the victim card. lol
last season he complained about not being pulled soon enough so who knows
Where are you seeing he played the victim card?
I was responding to the complaining about his run support. Give up runs in bunches the way Kirby does and you probably won't win! By that logic I could just say the hitters are tired of his over rated ass giving up a ton of runs before they even get a second at bat!
I just read a post on twitter that says to trade Julio so he can play for someone that wants to win. The dude is hitting .196 with an OPS under .480. MAYBE if the guys paid to hit would actually hit and the guys paid to pitch would actually pitch? The excuse making is pathetic. Look at the prediction thread in here. This lineup SHOULD hit better. This Pitching staff SHOULD pitch better. If anything the organization is guilty of setting a losing culture and apparently hiring a coaching staff that can't coach for shit!
But Jesus, people act like these guys are seven year olds and the organization is just so mean they can't play. Poor top of our order, all hitting under .200, but if the owners weren't so mean? I'm sure they'd all be tearing it up, right? BS. These guys are no different than everyone else that plays here. Swing from their asses, the ball doesn't go over the wall, go pout, and stink until May. Wash, rinse and repeat.
What's wrong with the Pitching? Who knows. Maybe the pressure of knowing if you give up two runs you lose is mounting? BUT, let's blame the ownership group for why guys that are supposed to be the face of the franchise and perennial All Stars have an OPS of .480! Keep swinging out your ass Julio, your numbers will average out when it gets warm, everyone will love you because you smile and laugh, we will miss the playoffs, but you will get paid and the team will make money. Only losers are the people rooting for a team that makes the playoffs once every two plus decades.
