I am too frustrated.

We've lost the series to the Mets, Cubs, Brewers and losing to the Phillies right now. And the Padres are only a few games out with the Giants on their heels.

Yet the team's attitude on field is, "Who cares, we will win a thousand games."

Oh sure, lip service to going through something and shaking it off. But where is the focus?

The team has Robertsitis, "Well, it is the second inning. We are behind by a run. Cy Young is on the mound. It's a long season. Let's bail and stay rested. Give third string some field time and get'em tomorrow. Tell the ball boy to warm up in the bull pen."

I heard the excuses. Lines echoing in locker room repeated in post game shows and interviews.

Every team has a cold streak. Cold Streak? This is an Antartica Streak.

Mookie not himself.

It is a lefty pitching today so use second or third string roster.

Down one in the first so let's rest the best pitchers in the bull pen for tomorrow's game.

Oops, a misplay. No problem, we will do better next chance.

I thought his arm was not that good. Or- I thought I was faster.

Didn't know the runner was that fast and my arm that slow.

Every team comes in and plays their best against the Dodgers like it is their World Series.

Time is getting short. There is no sense of urgency. 1st half malaise hangover of "We don't have to win this series against them because we will have the best record." Well, we've seen that short subject and it just isn't playing anymore.

Time to take no prisoners. Time to accept no excuses. Time for a sense of urgency. Time for "Dodgers Baseball!"

They have been on cruise control the whole year, and when Robert's bails out when they are down by 5 runs makes me crazy. Fans come to watch a game, not a March Spring Training game when the regulars are gone after five innings.

Dodgers will the division but will not make it far in playoffs. Currently. Cubs and brewers are playing better baseball.

The outfield defense is an issue. They're giving up the extra 90 feet almost routinely. Teo's routes are bad and he does not have the speed to get to balls most OFs can get to. Pages has been much improved in CF but has serious lapses that cost the team. It's been said before, Teo in left and Pages in right is the best alignment, but with Muncy down and Edman covering for him at 3B, who plays CF? Kike is down. Outman? They have to add an OF at the deadline and it needs to be one capable of playing CF well. I'd hate for them to lose a playoff game or series because our OFs can't get to a relatively routine ball.

Well, it is obvious that our bullpen is an area of concern. Who do you think AF will go after before the trade deadline?? Will they finally move on from Conforto??

As a Giants fan I have to wait until next year (again!)😢

Are there any relievers in AAA? Can we DFA Ruiz? Why can’t we put the most consistent and best defensive players on the field instead of changing every game? This lead is shrinking and it’s time to get serious!

I am shocked the team looks so flat after the ASG. They looked like dead men walking before the break...Any chance Alex Freeland gets a call? Seems like Edman and Rojas can't make a consistent throw to 1B?!?

What do you think the cost of these closers would be?

Wonder why Kim doesn’t bunt more vs LHP?

How do you think we do in the Twins series? Does AF get the deal for Buxton and Durán done while they are in town?
