1. Starling Marte (R) LF

2. Adam Frazier (L) 2B

3. Andrew McCutchen (R) CF

4. Josh Bell (S) 1B

5. David Freese (R) 3B

6. John Jaso (L) RF

7. Francisco Cervelli (R) C

8. Jordy Mercer (R) SS

9. Jameson Taillon (R) P

Didn't take Joggin' John Jaso long to play Hamilton's single into a triple.

Already an awesome start to the series. Billy Hamilton with a triple and homer in his first two at bats. Pretty sad.

Even the radio crew can't pretend to be enthusiastic about this team.

I don't think anyone can

Hamilton has done everything else to them. Might as well add a cycle to his resume.

Complete embarrassment that they get a guy in a rundown and no one covers 2B. How many more examples do we need that this is an undisciplined, poor fundamental, low baseball IQ team? But of course they'll extend Hurdle. Nothing's ever his fault. He's a great manager. ::) Just because the team plays like no one is in charge is no reason to put any blame on Hurdle.

It is about to get really bad for this organization. I predict an epic implosion on the baseball and management side.

Everyone is talking about Nova coming back to earth. Has anyone looked at Taillon's ERA recently? It's a lot higher than Nova's. 7 earned tonight pushes it to 4.63 or higher.

I'm feeling the same way. It's like payback for three years of really good luck is going to result in a total implosion.

It's like no one is accountable within the organization. Not the owner, not the GM, not the manager and not the players. The only folks I've heard disparaging remarks about are the fans.

I know I'll get skewered for this. But Osuna is a better MLB hitter than Jaso and Luplow combined.

And is he worse than Jogging Polanco in RF?
