I guarantee you the leaders of the team stood up and said this is not happening again this year, bad loss. I was worried about San Diego this weekend but not as much now bc I think these guys will come out w guns blazing against them.

I would rather the leaders step up and not allow it to happen at all
The "leaders of this team" are why this happened.
You know how bad losses are to teams, light a fire under them.
Our bats have been silent for the last week. No home runs this past weekend. We need everyone to hit.
When we get Rea, Collins, and Humphreys back, the power will be there- which is pretty much now. Cohen needs to play Rooker more too.
I still think 50 plus. We have numerous guys who will hit 5-10.
When I say every ****ing game matters, every at bat, every pitch….. Its nights like tonight that I look to!
Inexcusable and lets start at the top. Reynolds has a hole in his swing. Get him out of the damn lineup. Rooker! Where are you! We KNOW who can hit for power put them in the lineup! Is Gridley, Robson, or Vickerson a 1-5 SEC hitter? No. Stop the bullshit Cohen. Don't **** around for one game, don't give one inch or you get the shit like tonight.
Ohhhhh Fitts is our clooooooooooser so we HAVE to bring him in there.. WRONG. Fitts is not the K guy we've had the last 2 years.
Horrible strikeouts tonight.. We thought we were so badass we could roll up and rope a shitty team, got away from an approach, and ****ing sucked.
Why couldn't Smith DH? Start? He did this weekend…
****
Cohen video, he was pissed at the older guys hitting. Didn't compete at the ABs. Cohen was beat up his first two years, now we have a great team, he shouldn't lose.
If Ark PB win a few if these down the road then he is right, they are a good club.
Are you kidding me about Rooker? He leads our team in home runs and is second in RBI's- in less playing time, plus he is hitting for a higher average than Reid Humphreys who has started every game other than the ones he was out ill for. Not to mention he leads our team in slugging percentage.
Reynolds had poor pitch selection today. Not saying he should play, just pointing it out. But since u brought up holes in swings, rooker has a big one, he does offset the misses w some pop so at least there is a case. Vickerson isn't a 1-5 hitter. But if you take everyone you say isn't a 1-5 guy sec hitter we won't have a lineup. So there's that
It was a bad loss. Let's not go overboard and rip everything about the team.
It's one damn game. Yes, it's a bad loss, but it's just one game.
We've played 14 games. If this was game 50, you might have a point. I'm not trying to argue that we are a power club- but I am saying that the power that we do have has been out a lot this first month.
What we are intended to be is a team that has 4-5 power guys and 4-5 speed guys. We need both Humphreys and Rooker in the lineup the majority of the time.
It should be:
C- Collins
1B- Rea
2B- Gridley
3B- Spruill
SS- Heck
LF- Humphreys
CF- Robson
RF- Vickerson/Smith
DH- Rooker
