That inning does an excellent job with what everyone in here is blasting them on
Leadoff runner gets on. Next two batters get bailed out on what should’ve been double play grounders but end up being errors. Dansby swings at two pitches not even near the zone, goes 0-2 and puts up a hell of a 3-2 battle before striking out, and McGuire goes full dumb ****

Batting .160 with runner on third. That pitch was 2 feet outside and instead of walking he swings again.
My frustration with Swanson is boiling over. Why does he swing at everything? I knew that he would swing at a ball way out of strike zone. It was stupid for the pitcher to throw that many balls in the strike zone.
This is on Counsell. He is letting his players to swing for the fence, no situational hitting. Swanson has no excuse for striking out, the ball was not even close.

I don’t know how anyone can watch Dansby continue to do that in big spots and not want to add another middle of the order right handed bat. And I like Dansby.
That's two innings in a row with a runner on third with 1 out and we have 3 non competitive at bats. I don't understand why these guys don't understand situational hitting. See this is what made Sandberg great, he would have got that run in 9 times out of 10. Just horrific performance
Their lack of execution is now resulting in the team forcing things. And it's not working. Negative habits and performance breeds negative......seeing it right in front of our eyes.
