Os dominated by a pitcher with an 8.00 Era lol.

 

This is why when folks said "But we're only 2.5 games out of the WC!" I'm like, bruh...you seriously think we were just anplayer or two away with deeper issues with this team? Lol Buying for this year would not have been worth it unless somebody had multiple years of control.

The same pitcher back in June against the O's that went 6 scoreless innings, gave up 1 hit and 1 walk and struck out 8. Prior to that game he had 7 strikeouts all season.

Case in point, the bases were loaded, 2 out. The Angels pitcher couldn't throw a strike, back to back walks and a HBP. So what does Jackson Holliday do? Swings at the very first pitch into a weak ground ball. 

There is no way he should have been first pitch swinging. Make that guy throw strikes.

Sad thing is it looks like Elias gets a second chance at a rebuild, albeit maybe a minor rebuild 

He's definitely coming back. He's operated at the deadline like he's absolutely coming back.

I'd be shocked if he's not back.

Rubenstein seems like he's happy with Elias and Elias will continue to install puppet managers. You'll never see a veteran manager brought in as long as Elias is in charge.

You absolutely can not beleive anything Elias says- 

"Lift off"

"Bringing in an ace"

"Buying and selling"

" still going for the playoffs this year"

After moving 2 starters and your closer lol.

Talk about blowing smoke up the ass lol.

I understand why they traded Adley and it was probably the right move if your not going to sign him to a longer term deal but, man Elias really thinks the fans are stupid with the BS he puts out there during his press conferences.

He's just so damn arrogant.
