Ronald and Austin strike out yet again in the first inning, and Olson nuked one all the way to the warning track. Those three have got to get their shite together eventually.

Took exactly 3 batters for the useless umpire to make a game influencing call. ABOLISH HUMAN UMPIRES.

Olson and Riley below .700 OPS and Ronnie will be there shortly at .702.

They are legit performing like below average hitters right now

ETA: Annnnd Ronnie is below .700 now

Acuña is as lost as I’ve ever seen him in the bigs.
This barves offense is as anemic as I’ve seen it in years.

Our Chris Dimino parrot will be here shortly to say "BaCk Of ThE bAsEbAlL cArD". I wish I had the ability to completely ignore bad, prolonged slumps like this.

Not to pile on, but we definitely lost the Murphy trade. Contreras is tearing the cover off the ball this year. Brewers have him leading off.

Certainly looks that way. The sad part is that it wasn't particularly hard to see that Contreras would have a special bat, but the Braves apparently didn't believe in his ability to catch.

Oops.

With this Braves offense, Seattle now probably has enough runs to win this game.

I just hate that we gave up a bulk of our trade chips to get older at catcher.

Doesn’t matter if they all end up hitting 40 bombs. It’s still frustrating to watch your 3 best hitters shite the bad night after night after night.

When does Snit call a team meeting?

Welp that 2 run knock should be enough for us all not to have to worry about staying up late thankfully.

Ronnie having 1 homer right now isn’t conducive to that.

His K rate is scaring the shite out of me. Maybe he will get right, but this is something more than just a slump.
