Cost us a run. You can not convince me that this team isn’t just mentally weak/losers. Not one guy in this team that holds anyone accountable or leads by example.

It’s turning into a clown show. Misplayed balls; sloppy approaches at the plate; forgetting pitch counts. Real LL stuff.
I’m growing less enamored with the Marsh trade by the day. JT could have brought O’Hoppe along.
