Posting those numbers in Birmingham is quite impressive

I like this because it gives you a chance to look at another body for a month here on possible 2022 replacements for Leury (Free Agent), Mendick (sucks), and even Cesar Hernandez who's been a bit of a disappointment with the bat.

I fear post season ABs with RISP for Vaughn. Holly Shit does he turtle

Terry Boers is Gold!

Really wish Robert avoided those hard stretch landings on 1B.

No kidding. People always looking for an axe to grind. The ship sailed on Kopech being a starting pitcher this season the minute he hurt the hamstring.

Every time it feels like we're getting there at full strength, something pops. Rodon - I don't think he's 100% TA - God knows what the hell is going on there. Lynn - Knee? Lucas - Leg WTF ?

You're already short with Lynn going on the DL, so who outside of Reynaldo eats these innings coming up?

Bad effort there Yaz

I wish Lucas Fastball command was so much better. He'd easily be my Game 1 starter if he'd know where the hell he's throwing the fastball. High pitch count game once again by our starter.

Yaz over confident on those bat drops.

I think that's what's turned the season around for him. Felt like way over reliant on the changeup to start the year. Now the slider has become a wipe out pitch. Still need to see much better command from his fastball, I feel that will be key when facing those slugging lineups in the playoffs.

We have a strong history of empty HR seasons. Adam Dunn 2012 - 41 / .800 2013 - 34 / .762

Just looked up 2016 with us, 40 HRS .767. Yet Hawk thought they should build a statue for him.

21 HRs .708 OPS for Hernandez. That's very hard to do.

I think many like myself who bitched about Grandal early in the season are finally pleased to see that pop come out of that bat. And he was doing this just before the inury. Walks are fine, but this added punch in the middle of the order is what we all wanted to see for $18+ million per season.

Let's hope TA's issues are all figured out by October. I'd shut him down for the full 10 days.

People who have never thrown a baseball in their lives don't understand that there is also "wear and tear" just when warming up.

I remember the experts on this board wanting no part of Cease in the rotation this past off-season.

Our offense, feast or famine

About time we crush a soft tossing mop!

Someone throwing now.

No one warning, looks like LaRussa gonna give Cease a longer rope. With the bullpen situation, don't blame him.

He's not running at 100%, that's for sure.

37 pitches by their bum ass pitcher.
