It's never good when you only have three players finish with positive WPA.

I don't regret missing the 2nd half of this game.

"Where we all wait in earnest with pudding in hand for the Upton comet to sail through the roofed skies, so that we may meet Him."

Wow that's sad

BJ had only one at bat and still had the highest WPA

Not to nitpick, but zero isn't a negative number.

Sorry, I’m a math teacher.

I know he’s not hitting well but neither is either Gabe. I would have rather seen Bartlett start, Zobrist in right, and Burrell hitting DH. That leaves Longoria out but I’d rather sit him completely if he’s even slightly hurt.

Also,

I can’t stand paying to see a game when we don’t field the best lineup. Maddon has been resting players at ridiculous times since he’s been here and I can’t take it anymore. I don’t mind a loss if we’ve played hard and fielded the best team and lineup. This rough start does not worry me half as much as Maddon’s antics.
