The game was there for the taking.  Suarez had three chances to win the game three times yesterday and a chance to win the game tonight and struck out four times.  He won't swing at an inside pitch and he can't not halfass swing at sliders in the dirt. 

Agree that the manager sucks.  Would fire the third base coach tonight.  But guys either step up or they don't.

I'm wondering if this really is a team built to contend over a whole season.  Too inconsistent at the plate, pitchers walk too many guys and throw too many pitches in general and seem to give up a shitload of home runs.  The hope has to be that the young hitters take the next step but the pitching formula has let them down this year.
