If this team had a decent manager and pitching coach they might be a wild card contender once Acuna and Camargo are added. But you cannot lose games like this and even think about that. This will be a killer.

With these conditions you don’t bring in scrub pitchers like a normal big lead game...you bring in vets.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
Can we get rid of Snitker and Chuckie now?

Hopefully Acuna can be a reliever too
All this started because of a swinging bunt by Contreras, inning/game is probably over if thats hit harder. Cruel game.
I literally went for a walk. What the **** happened.
Blowing this lead will require cutting a player or 2, or firing someone
Guys... OZZIE JUST TOOK A WALK!! Who cares about the result of the game!
I hadn't realized that the Braves bullpen came into the game leading the league in walks
I suspect we still will be after today

Hmmm...the Cubs pitcher can throw strikes....strange.

If Luke Jackson and Ramirez aren't DFA'd, I want snit fired
I think a loss like this devastates your team on a normal day. Given the craziness of these conditions, I think it'll make it easier to shake it off and move on.
