So much uncertainty would be made clear once we know the FO plan for Robert & Madrigal. If they are ready... the other needs fall in place pretty well. Mainly, a quality starter and a couple bullpen pieces.

With evaluating Avi & Jon side by side for the approximate same money I agree that my gamble would have been on Avi. Neither one would probably be part of the next championship but Avi would for sure have made this season more entertaining. Had a better chance at getting us something at trade deadline as well.

This was the first game I was unable to watch. Moncada and I both chose the right day to take off.

I'll take my chances with a 3 year extension.

You don't think McCann & Collins takes care of catcher? You can even have Zivala for 3rd catcher/DH. The 2nd base and RF question revolves around Madrigal & Robert. Cordell and Sanchez work for me as placeholders for a while. One year deals on the right type guys could work but nothing that would block Madrigal & Robert.

He still looks better playing for 15 million instead of 30.

Now that's what I call a fan.

Won't be back until Spring 2020 at best. Barely enough time to show he has anything. His agent won't be signing any cheap extensions so that probably leaves us trading before the deadline for something modest. Maybe he comes back like a house on fire and we recoup something kind of nice. I hate dealing with Boras as you can never find a fair middle ground with his clients.

I agree. No reason to make a deal just to make a deal, Need to get more than a fair deal however. He fits us very well and is not a salary dump. I used the analogy that if you like your current car you wouldn't sell it because someone said I'll pay fair market value.

Ricky had a really good night. He never did a thing that bothered anyone.

There's no such thing as a team that can't be beat. McCann comes back tomorrow well rested.

We have more than a few really nice players.

When Timmy first hit that I thought one of you had sold your soul to the Devil.

I don't think it's as nuts as it sounds.

It seems since Eaton that we had competent RF defensive play.

Ricky having a good night. I agree with taking Lopez out after two hard hit balls. Also, start Beef in a game that apparently didn't need McCann.

Looks like Tilson can play center field.

Dunning has a real chance to be the icing on the cake after TJ.

Apparently a good night to rest McCann.

Lopez will come out for the 8th on a short leach I presume.

I'm on that side as well

Half of us will say hell yes. Half of us will say are you nuts.

YoYo showing what he's capable of. We're going to see a lot of this for years to come.

Have to give Lindor his due. He's good.

Folks need to learn to disagree without being disagreeable.
