I first thought this thread was about moving him down to AAA. I was ready to explode.

You absolutely need take on the 3-0 count in that situation. He would still have to come at you two more times with the game on the line. And the 3-1 pitch was a slider. I don’t mind that take at all. The 3-2 pitch was the issue, not the previous two pitches.

Wasn’t pretty, but we got it done! Horrible traffic coming home, but so much easier to sit through after a win.

I’ll be there with my son. We’ll do our best to bring home the split.

Quero has been terrible this year, but with the shot you are referring to, he only had one pitch to get the job done and he hit it hard.

Yeah, good call. How would people compare them from a talent perspective?

How does Detmers compare to Jose Quintana when we traded him to the Cubs? Seems like neither are/were considered an elite pitcher, but then you look at the stats and you realize they are pretty damn good. Quintana did have one more year of control than Detmers has, if I recall correctly, but I was shocked we got both Eloy and Cease.

Do you think he will go for more or less than this package? Hagen Smith, Kyle Lodise, Colby Shelton

I’m calling a Carlson home run today.

If you want to raise your OPS from .649 to .707 in one night, just hit three homers and take one walk. Easy.

Yeah, Mason decided to walk 3 guys in the 9th while up 6-0. Also gave up a hit. Luckily only gave up 1 run. Sorry for jinxing the pitching line.

Hays hit another bomb tonight, this one of the 3 run variety.

Loving the pitching box score in Charlotte tonight so far: Urquidy: 5 IP, 0 R, 2 H Hagen: 1 1P, 0 R, 2 K Mason: 2 IP, 0 R, 2 K

Baseball is so weird sometimes. I think Kay has looked great in both innings, and he’s down 3-0.

What do you think his innings limit is? It can’t be only 100, right?

I seem to recall him as a starter for Houston a few years ago. But I forgot he existed. What’s his story?

Huge win today. Biggest pitch of the game might have been the 2-0 count fly out with bases loaded in the top of 6.

Billy Carlson with a ground rule double into the right field corner.

I wish I could go through a slump and still have a .921 OPS.

Probably the same reason that we’ve lost others for stretches. I still can’t use the site unless I’m on my home WiFi.

Nailed it! And this was more of a bold prediction than predicting we’d hit five long balls today.

Pretty funny that we wrote the exact same sentence.

Hays and Pereira just went back to back in Charlotte.

Hays and Pereira both with a homer.
