This is so incredibly frustrating

 

[Chris_Sanders]

This team has fully quit.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Completely quit

 

[Bobster]

Damn.

 

[Devilmaycare]

What happened to this team's heart?

 

[FB94]

Torrey strikes again. Martinez would face one LH batter and then two RH, but makes the switch and Puk craps the bed. Not sure where the desire is on this team right now

 

[Chris_Sanders]

What happened to this team's heart?

They have quit on their manager for a month.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

You can thumbs down me 82 but it's a complete collapse

 

[82CardsGrad]

Can’t be a worse time for the team to fall into a collective slump…

A "collective slump" of an entire team in every single facet of the game is a quit

 

[FB94]

That blown game against the Brewers left a mental scar on this team. Everyone has completely turtled.

Womp womp

That would be the Suns vs Dallas… which was so painful I think it’s still clouding your perspective.

It was before that. They have pissed away so many leads. That was just the final loss of confidence

Then it's a good thing they (likely) won't make the playoffs. They were opposite of this mentality last year.

 

[Bobster]

Imagine thinking McGough is the answer.

 

[GatorAZ]

I said they were done after the Giants blowout. Complete frauds.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

That would be the Suns vs Dallas… which was so painful I think it’s still clouding your perspective.

While the closer analogy would be Suns / Bucks...

Even then I didn't see a whole team just roll over.

The closest thing I can think to this is the 2021 Cardinals, where the team absolutely quit on the coach

 

[FB94]

Imagine thinking McGough is the answer.

White flag was waived when McGoo was brought in.

 

[dscher]

Just have to laugh. Padres team that just wants to come out and knock our ***** in the dirt with nothing to play for and this is the performance we get....no balls or identity this year from this team. Bummer.

They lost the last 4 games of the regular season last year…

They had an identity early and that led to an epic run. Then we just got away from it.

This team got worse the healthier it got.

 

[dscher]

True. But they had a gritty attitude last year that this team seems to lack. Maybe lack of team chemistry. Who knows.

The only player I saw play every play / inning like it was his last was Carroll. Even my boy Geno got a little lackadaisical
