So we went with the old broken down Michael Bourn who can't hit over the youthful hot hitting Peter O'Brien who can't field.

I guess I sort of understand the move since we needed someone who can play decent D in center field but it would be much more exciting to watch O'Brien hit some bombs. Either way it won't really matter since this team isn't really going anywhere. You simply can't make it to the postseason when you have a .250 winning percentage at home.

This should be the last better Rubby faces...

 

[death2redemptions]

Assuming neither of those runners end up scoring, this would be the final line on Rubby...

3 hit game for Drury

 

[death2redemptions]

Another RISP opportunity...

 

[death2redemptions]

And as advo we fail the first opportunity...

 

[death2redemptions]

And then fail the second opportunity.

I'm anything but surprised.

 

[death2redemptions]

This offense is a disgrace.

 

[death2redemptions]

And there it is...game ova

 

[death2redemptions]

Brandon Drury is now 4-for-4.

 

[death2redemptions]

And the game ends by us grounding into a double play with a runner at 3rd...how fitting.

 

[death2redemptions]

Home record: 5-17

Good luck Robbie Ray, you'll be needing it with the lack of offense you'll be receiving.
