How are you guys under .500?? Seriously. Have you had some weird, flukey losses or something? Above average lineup and above average pitching does not equal a 26-29 team. What am I missing?

Didn't hit first 3-4 weeks + a million 1-run losses

1-8 start pretty much and the offense just didnt hit until recently.

They didn't look like this in April. Manager is an issue too

[UKWhoDey]

Hell yes

Well obviously a 1-8 start doesn't help.

And the team really didn't start hitting with any consistency until 2 weeks ago. Or less

I believe something like 17 of the first 22 losses were 2 runs or less and maybe 13 were one run games.
The offense also took forever to get on track.

A horrible March/early April. The worst offensive BABIP in baseball by far. A ton of 1 run losses.

The service time curse. It was finally lifted when Senzel was called up.

Love to hear Thom and Cowboy’s “who’s on pizza” routine for the thousandth time this year

[BluegrassRedleg]

I'd be totally OK with Bob Steve giving up 7 here to get Dietrich back up.

Well, no I wouldn't. But I would. But...

Cowboy busts out "that's good, that's hot, that's nice" after all these years, and it's about pizza lol
