Oli is about as worthless as Mozeliak.
When Bloom takes over, he should show Oli the door.

Another no-decision series?
Four tough games off the schedule with no gain to show for them.

Getting a split at home is worse than a neutral outcome. It is a step backward.

The over/under was 2.5 wins.

I was just looking at the series this way. We have only so many games left, started off with two tough wins and then tripped up on both of the last two, gaining nothing in the chase. Psychologically bad for a team that so often looks disinterested. Oh, well.

must be true cause I read it here
That's funny and so true. He's at least average against most lefties. The outstanding LHP breaking balls are still an issue. Like for many MLB lefty hitters.
