Starling Marte or Kris Bryant would have looked pretty fine acquisition at deadline, instead of having to depend on scrubs like Goodwin.

A good defensive outfielder with pop, everyday player, was our main need at trade deadline, not 2 more relievers, especially an expensive reliever like Kimbrel.

Nasty Boys are back.

La Pantera is our 21st century version of Minnie Minoso.

Liam is our highest energy guy. Need his leadership moving forward.

Right on. Problem is that TLR is in station to station mode. Hope he adjusts for the playoffs , putting some Runners in motion when appropriate.

One takeaway from this game is that Ruiz should not be pitching in the playoffs in high leverage situations late.

You mean the 8th.

K. No contact and Leury grounder to SS. Need Grandal to come thru.

We are missing Tepera who would have been a good choice for the 6 th.

Andrew Vaughn had his best at bat of the season. Time off seemed to help him. This is the best news out of this game.

Bad running. But they got bailed out with the Miller 2 RBI hit.

He is a candidate for the Triple Crown of Shitty Play.

Yes. Robert probably catches it, easier for him as he is taller than Billy. Goodwin chance of getting it is 1%.

I think he is our worst overall position player. He is not even hitting now ( hitting in the.220s). He is a terrible outfielder and a bad base runner. Send him out of town.

He was jogging home.

It is a 7 inning game, so is like the 5 th inning.

Goodwin should be sent out of town along with Mike Wright on a one wayGreyhound ticket to Charlotte. Would not like to see these guys in our playoff roster.

We shouldn’t sponge innings in a scoreless game.

Hope they pinch hit for Goodwin with one of our resting guns. Wishful thinking as TLR never does that.

There was no shift in the 20 th century. Is part of the unwritten rules not to shift.

It is hard already to win this game with the mostly Charlotte Knights position players lineup, but you throw in Wright in a scoreless tie you are punting big time.

We should still try to catch Astros for HFA until we are mathematically eliminated.

I am glad he did then. We normally win when we hit homers.

Benetti has a good announcer voice. Compare his voice with Beckham and you’ll feel better. Agree, there will not be another Hawk and his Hawkerisms. Benetti will never say things like grab some bench, can of corn, you can put it on the board yes, etc.
