That being said, we could probably use a slushy stand.

It's games like last night that are red flags and show the major flaw in the team where the offense just gets absolutely shut down. Wish there was a way they could be proactive and get ahead of it now rather than wait for the trade deadline. Surely someone would deal now like the Blue Jays.

Let's kill the ball today, please. Oh, and multiple times.

Garver, Robles, AND Bliss loading the bases for JP? Let's hope something happens with this.

One good thing about Garver is that he takes a lot of walks.

Crazy we are in first place and no one on offense is putting up any sort of career numbers or anything freakish. Imagine if any of them do

Garver has been coming around at the plate. I worry myself when he approaches the plate, but the numbers don't lie. On base 4 times today with a dinger.
Good series win. Yeah, still need more offense, but just enough has been getting it done so far. Curious to see what they come up with next month. Robles ain't really it.

Our strikeout rate has been much more acceptable since Brown's firing.

Yet another series win. 11-3-1 in their last 15 series. Best in division record in MLB. 1st place in the division by 5 games over Texas, and 7.5 over Houston. All that with an offense that's inferior (talent wise) to most teams in the league.
Yeah, Servais is doing an awful job and is the worst manager ever. Lol.

Wow your pitcher carrying the team again so hard to stand there and let him go past 60 pitches isn't it. Literally 99% the reason Ms are in first is because of their pitching. This is a 100 loss team with average pitching. If you think the coaching is getting the most out of the players offensively and all the different situations in this game to score runs, you don't know ball. It doesn't matter how hot a guy is this staff will sit his arse because they ain't paying him.

Ah yes.
"If you don't agree with my opinion, you don't know ball".
"Results don't matter, I don't like or understand some of the decisions Servais makes, therefore he's the worst manager in baseball".
"I don't understand why Servais manages the pitching staff the way he does, therefore he's an idiot".
"Servais is 100% to blame anytime a player plays poorly or makes a mistake, because players don't ever play poorly or make mistakes unless the coaching sucks or their manager is super dumb."
"Servais gets literally zero credit when they play well or win, but gets 100% of the blame when they play poorly or lose. That's just common sense logic."
"The offense sucks, which is entirely due to Servais being a horrible manager with a terrible coaching staff, and definitely not because the players just aren't that good."
"The pitching is really good, but of course Servais and his coaching staff get absolutely zero for credit for that. They're just lucky to have really good pitchers."
Same old, same old.

That's baseball. Moves by the manager will lose/win a team about 10-15 games every year. With this team especially most of the wins credit goes to the pitching. You don't kiss a managers ass when the starter pitches a shut out, you tip your cap to the pitcher. The feel and managerial nature of the game of baseball is much different than other sports that's something I think a lot of fans aren't aware of.

"That's baseball" is just a lazy excuse for fans that lack the ability to think critically.
That's a pretty dubious statement considering there isn't any way to prove it. There's no way to know what would have happened if the manager would have made a different move or wouldn't have made a move at all. It's entirely possible the outcome of the game would be the same regardless of any moves the manger makes or doesn't make.
Of course. This team was built around very good pitching and a cheap offense. This is the obvious result of that. Very good pitching and a bad offense.
Exactly. When a player plays very well, that player gets the credit. So why would you blame someone other than the player when they play poorly or make a stupid mistake? There's just no logic or consistency in that opinion.
Managers don't affect the outcome of games anywhere near as much as the players do. All a manager can do is try to put his players in the best position possible. It's up to the players to succeed or fail in any given situation.

Lol, yeah. No shit. I'm not the one constantly criticizing Servais and thinking I "know ball" better than a guy that spent most of life as a major league player, manager, or assistant GM. You don't "know ball" for shit compared to Servais and you have no idea what you're talking about most of the time. You've proven it countless times.
