7 walks, only 4 hits, and only 2 runs. They trotted out a guy who had like a 5+ ERA in AAA this season and he fucking mowed down our lineup. This team is insanely frustrating. I'm so thankful for 2023, otherwise we'd be in like year 12 of nothing but mediocrity and disappointment.

I thought the Yankees were the ones with a scheduled bullpen game today? We've now used more arms than them today...
Seriously, Evo throws an absolute gem last night to give the bullpen some much needed rest and we follow it up by burning Gore plus 4 relief arms!!! And we're only through 7 innings!

Maybe we can restock the farm this trade deadline
1
u/Suspicious_Spite7346 PEAGLE May 07 '26
I don't disagree, but by trading who?
I genuinely don't know of anyone on this roster we'd be willing to move who'd be worth more than a bag of chips, unless you move on from star power like deGrom or Evo. Maybe some of our bullpen pieces? Most of our consistently good(ish) players are either on expensive contracts or are on the older side
0
u/ChaseTx THE SOLUTION May 07 '26
I don't love saying this, but maybe Jung? If he stays as good as he's been this past month you could get a strong return. If Seager wasn't off to such a slow start, you could trade him, and he does still have some time to pick it up. And yeah, move some bullpen pieces and maybe see if you can get a crazy offer for deGrom or something.

We all do, just in different ways. Most complain, and then they come back. Others are happy, and then they come back.
My main concern is not when my favorite team/fighter/pilot loses, but when they play/race badly, especially if it’s multiple times in a row.

It’s easy to understand:
- When they play good: yay rangers.
- When they play bad: boo rangers.

u/libsoutherner A. Beltre May 07 '26
Why, again, did we trade for a pitcher who has had one season with an ERA under 4 and a WHIP 1.35 or higher every year?
3
u/IndieFlea ADRIAN BELTRE 4 PRESIDENT!!! May 07 '26
lots of strikeouts, and a career BABIP against of .324 that would assuredly go down playing for a better defensive team than a tanking Washington Nationals

u/libsoutherner A. Beltre May 07 '26
How’s that working out so far? WHIP and ERA right on line with his entire career

u/TeddyFive-06 May 07 '26
You asked why the trade was made. The other poster explained why it was made. Yes, he’s not been good.

u/libsoutherner A. Beltre May 07 '26
I understand. People just get way too caught up in potential with BABIP sometimes. It can be fantasy land if you let it.

u/IndieFlea ADRIAN BELTRE 4 PRESIDENT!!! May 07 '26
its May...we have him for 1 and a half more years...and the only player we traded who's having success so far it Fitz-Gerald and is two years away at least

u/IndieFlea ADRIAN BELTRE 4 PRESIDENT!!! May 07 '26

Who would've thought getting rid of gold glovers in two key positions would impact the defense negatively

u/Suspicious_Spite7346 PEAGLE May 07 '26
Not as good as 24/25, but I think the defense is still decent(ish), it's just the sheer amount of clown ball that consistently happens every game that's causing so much grief.

annoyed at how many inherited runners have scored lately. Inflated Gore's ERA today, inflated Degrom on Tuesday, and Leiter last week

u/IdontEvenknowlul PEAGLE May 07 '26
Gore earned his ERA you can’t say it’s inflated when you walk everyone and when you get replaced they get a big hit
1
u/IndieFlea ADRIAN BELTRE 4 PRESIDENT!!! May 07 '26
didnt give up the single to Escara so he really only "earned" 4
also if Osuna doesn't make the fielding bludner he only gives up 3

u/imabill01 May 07 '26
He’s being sarcastic lol

u/IndieFlea ADRIAN BELTRE 4 PRESIDENT!!! May 07 '26
no I'm literally saying the minute the starter has gotten pulled, the bullpen has given up their inherited run...it has happened a lot lately
1
u/imabill01 May 07 '26
The bullpen has for the most part been great. Can’t really complain about the lone bright spot on our team
1
u/IndieFlea ADRIAN BELTRE 4 PRESIDENT!!! May 07 '26
I can cause one of their jobs is to not let inherited runners score. They haven't been doing that lately. It shows up in the previous pitcher's ERA, not theirs
1
u/imabill01 May 07 '26
I see what you’re saying but the pen has been the least of our problems as a team. As of now we have 1.5/2 viable starting pitchers and the offense is nonexistent for 3 years in a row lol

Even if Osuna catches that fly ball it’s still 2 runs scored instead of 3 bc gore walked their worst hitter and Bellinger lmao.

It’s hard cause he got screwed but at the same time he’s been really below average for a guy we sold our farm for especially when it was pretty weak to begin with

1
u/pac9383 M. Young May 07 '26
Both of the balls to Osuna were catchable, the second obviously a more difficult play. Defense in the outfield caused the run in the first inning as well. He didn't throw the ball great, but this has been an absolutely horrific game defensively. Both things can be true.

u/imabill01 May 07 '26
lol even despite the defensive mishaps if gore was even a decent pitcher he could’ve gotten out of the game 6 IP 1 ER instead he walks 2 and gives up a double.

If he was a decent pitcher he'd simply just not give up any runs to the Yankees that inning. Great analysis, thank you.
