Church has 34 at bats so he gets a grace period. Plus he plays defense and runs the bases well. The other two? Offer nothing.

Gorman, Walker, and Scott have sucked all season, so we are giving the new guys a chance to catch up on the "suckage". :lol:

This team sucks. Major and minor league rosters just don’t have much. No way they compete next year. Too much (bleep) to get rid of.

Doesn't it seem that most of these "lesser" teams we play have much superior "young" talent than we do? Really concerning.

I need to do something other than watch the end of this chitty chitty bang bang show. Blood pressure normally 120 over 70. Likely 190/ 110.

I think we're better set for the post Labor Stoppage in 2027 or 2028....I hope.

If you accept it, you'll enjoy the season better next year. And the minors aren't as bad as you think. It takes a while to erase the (bleep) drafts from 2022 and 2023...and most of 2024, but I think we're on the right track. Patience

Yeah, but just think about how good he's gonna feel sitting on that bench today.

For realsies, though, Pages has been pulling his weight, which can't be easy to do...
Pages and Crooks need to split time in September. 64-40 at least.
I'm hoping Walker and Gorman take 40/64 and split.

A stinker from Gray to open the series against a beatable team hurts.
But let’s face it....our lineup from the #4 slot down is brutal.
For 2026 add in:
Donovan
Burleson
Arenado
JJ
And hopefully Crooks and/or Bernal and you become respectable.

It’s hard to watch especially seeing all of these guys come up and really produce next to nothing. Moz destroyed the major league OF relying on the minors. Now the pitching at least for the rotation looks barren in the upper part of the system. I hope you are right about 2027 or 28

if all 3 of the top 3 are still with us in Spring 2026, I'll be sorely disappointed.

Yep, I wouldn’t hesitate to trade our roster for the A’s
