How many goats do we need to sacrifice in order to score some runs??  Come on, dipshits

[UndertheHalo]

Time for the power leg kick!

"Rendon was about to be his former self and this team was about to take off" 

I can hear it now...

Not by looking at any stats or metrics year over year.

Some individual performance positives so far: Ward playing at an All star level, Detmers looking like a possible Ace, Soriano looks like a long-term rotation piece, Anderson has rebounded nicely. Adell has a much much better approach. O'Hoppe definitely one of the top Catchers in the game.

Everything else, yeah the same or worse. Defense has been especially ass and the combination of Neto and Schanuel's regression is incredibly disappointing. I will never understand playing Hicks over Adell/Moniak more than maybe once a week, and only against a LHP.

[CaliAngel]

Just strike out Neto, instead of ending the inning with a double play...

Interesting.  How much of a difference do you think this has made? 

[HeavenlyHalos]

Hey Neto didn't strike out!

[TheLordofOuts]

Neto needs some steroids 

[UndertheHalo]

Remember when Arte wouldn’t make Jim Leyland the 17th highest paid bench coach in baseball.  Per the request of his massive managerial upgrade.  lol. 

[CaliAngel]

Neto sucks.

[HanfordGuy]

Hicks

[Erstad Grit]

These are meat pitches

[CaliAngel]

Hicks can't hit a fastball if his life depended on it.

Have you seen the price of cigarettes lately?

[HeavenlyHalos]

Hicks is so fucking bad. Just DFA him already sheesh. I mean, why the fuck are we carrying 5 OFers anyways?

[Swordsman78]

Another wasted opportunity.

No one on the team is clutch.

My brother they banned the damn menthols.  Smdh.  

[fan_since79]

Please DFA Hicks already and put us out of our misery.

[TheLordofOuts]

Pfffffft.  Picking up Hicks was a great move by Perry

[HanfordGuy]

“Arte” is going to need more Tiger Wood money if Hicks wants to remain in the lineup.

[Halo in Chicago]

Can we leave Hicks in Cincinnati?

[CaliAngel]

Done with Hicks.

Done with Neto.
