34. What a nightmare game...

… and they obviously stopped even pretending they had a chance by the 9th. I thought I was hallucinating from the horror of it all when I realized they had Carson Kelly PITCHING to end the debacle.

Seriously, they spent all that money to extend contracts and get some pitching, and it really has gone to hell, hasn’t it? *sigh*

And yeah, if this doesn’t end Craig Counsel, I think there’s going to be an outcry. Juggling the batting order hasn’t done shit to fix hitting, and neither is pulling up minor leaguers to pitch whilst the A team languishes on the IL.
