I'm not saying that... they have had bad games before... I'm just not buying the narrative that your post implies either....

I would say they played like they did last year until the final quarter of the season and how they have played all of this year. Based on this I see little reason to be optimistic that a big improvement can be made next year without significant changes.

Tonight the offense was gorilla ball without gorillas - simply trying to outslug the other team. No situational awareness, when sacrifice RBI's rarely happen it's by accident not intent, the baserunning errors were runners trying to do too much in one play.

How did we lose to Charlotte. The whole coaching thing doesnt matter as much as how the **** did we lose to Charlotte.

This is a marginally over 0.500 CUSA team that was a nobody a few years ago. If this isn't ringing klaxon alarms, not sure what will

People will argue their relevance etc...just know if I Google Charlotte baseball, the top records are about a minor league team.

That's been our problem all season. We almost never move up leadoff baserunners....and our running mistakes are inexcusable. The second one tonight was on Janish. Just stupid decision-making. But the pitching lost this game-- until Gale came in (and he had his best outing in over a month), everyone was leaving the ball up in the zone. Just painful to watch.

Gayle was lights-out, maybe his best outing yet. His fastball reached 96 mph in the 9th, and his changeup defies the laws of physics.

Baserunning was terrible tonight! Did not see if he sent Dunlap tonight or not on the play I think you are referencing.

Yup. Too bad it took him a half inning to get the break on his curveball, or he would have struck out the first batter he faced, and went up 0-2 on with two fastballs. He then tried to snap the curve twice, and left both high with no break. He then went back to the fastball for the run-scoring double. From that point on he was unhittable.

Proctor gets Rice on the board with a one-out solo HR.

Chandler walks, and Cruz knocks him in. Charlotte has to go to their bullpen.

Sarchet out at 2nd on a close play, but he moves Cruz to 3rd.
