He hasn't been able to find the plate all year. He is the pitcher equivalent of Jake Lamb. Should gave been cut but keeps getting chance after after chance to blow it.

Hazen needs to get another arm for the BP. Hopefully works out better than Jake Diekman and Matt Andriese.

That is now 4 errors by Ahmed already this year in 23 games, and a fielding percentage less than .950, to go along with his usual crappy hitting. Tell me he didn't take the money and run. Might be my least favorite player on the team, even more so than Lamb, who is just lost.

Of course, it doesn't come to this but for Torey's idiotic insertion of his worst reliever in an 8th inning hold situation.

Another win in spite of Lovullo's blundering. The man has to be the luckiest manager in baseball. Zach Gallen deserved better.

Peralta better be in the line-up, and Ahmed better be on the bench, tomorrow.

Great way to rally after that tough 8th. Hopefully Rondon gets cut

His E.R.A. is over 11. I don't think he has had an appearance where a run hasn't scored on him. And yet Torey keeps putting him in, and worse does so in 7th and 8th inning hold situations. As with Lamb, Hazen needs to force Torey's hand and kick Rondon off the roster.

Another Torey thread after a win...we're not the worst team in baseball...worst manager in baseball...getting old...very very old
I should hope we get some wins. I should hope we're not the
worst team in baseball. I should hope we set our sights high.

A reminder that the winning began after a players-only meeting
and, coincidentally, small-ball surfaced . . .

Despite Torey's repeated quotes that he wants players who
can hit home runs. We are not a home run hitting team. The
players are bunting and stealing bases, evidently on their own.

The manager is not winning lately despite the team. The team
is winning despite the manager. And pitching coach.

You didn't present anything to show otherwise.

Council for the defense needs to present a better case. :shrug:

And I am not an attorney. Nor anything close to it.
