Signs that you have no shot at the playoffs....

- When you lose to someone like the White Sox.

Don't have the full list, but here are some...

Mike Trout, Nelson Cruz, Nolan Arenado, Khris Davis, Edwin Encarnacion, Josh Donaldson, Manny Machado,

 

You need to check those numbers, of all the guys you listed only Cruz and Encarnacion have more HR than Upton since 2013

[disarcina]

I think TANK and I had Little League coaches from the same mold.

the guy I had made you run laps after practice if you struck out looking.

[the dude abides]

CWS are a respectable team to lose to.

2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018.

That's 5 years. I was counting this season...since it makes no sense not to

[the dude abides]

our coaches always focused more on fielding/defense. we took ground balls in the infield for what felt like hours after practice. worked a lot on "where will you throw the ball if it's hit to you?" stuff, too.

we would occasionally do hitting things like you described. it was a cardinal sin to watch strike three, and that was always clear to us from day 1 to day 100.

he was arguing that strike one was a ball and it immediately put him in the hole where the entire at bat changes.

So in the last five years he has more homers than Trout?  

[beatlesrule]

Upton trying to set the record for most chances to drive guys in and having the lowest batting average in the process?

You are right I double counted one year,sorry

[Roy Hobbs]

It still is more than Machado,Donaldson and just a few behind Arenado.That would probably put him in the top 10 or 15 HR hitters in baseball.

[Roy Hobbs]

And after all that I think we can agree

I think that after all that we can agree that was a shitty loss. I will say this about Upton when he's bad he is really bad,and tough to watch.

maybe i'm late to this, but he took a swipe at the bad umpiring around the third inning when he said "that pitch is in for a strike, ball one..."

Victor is just as frustrated as we are. This was a tough game.

K dick, then he’s top 20 in the league in home runs this year.  There’s your power hitter hitting behind Trout.  

No no no let’s talk about what he did 5 years ago it’ll make me feel better.

Not only that, but you don't deserve to go to the playoffs when you can't beat teams like the White Sox.
