These guys should be on the PGA tour

They let the ones right down the middle go by for strikes. Then they swing at the stuff away and on the ground for outs. This is supposed to be a playoff team?

After two months, I think there's a pretty good sample to suggest that they could be in trouble with hitting. Going on a rampage for a game or two doesn't really mean they are "coming out of it", either. It seems to be an ongoing problem with these extended hitting lulls adding up to losses. The team is in a real rut right now. Some of the people they depend on like Machado, Tatis, and Hosmer have been putrid lately. Who've they got after that? Cronenworth has regressed to the mean, Profar is not a power hitter, and the catchers are, uh, catchers.

They've played against some of the top pitching in MLB lately, so that has to be accounted for. We'll see what happens in Denver next week. They need to show up and sweep that series against an inferior team.

Wow, getting worse by the minute.

And as Tommy would say … these guys couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat

You left a word or two out of Tommy's quote.

Tommy was on an all time rant that night … LMAO

Wasn't it Kurt Bevaqua who got him all lathered up?

You are correct.

The corners of our infield and outfield have been a big letdown this year. Especially Machado.
The guys getting fat game checks need to start hitting, and we could really use a quality corner outfielder at the trade deadline that can both hit and defend.
