Love the idea of trading some of the higher rated prospects for proven above average hitters with lots of control. Yelich was a prime example of this.

Thoughts on Robert's swing? Not impressed when you see the side view, as his timing looks way off. Besides the soreness, I think it shows why the power has been non-existent: https://mobile.twitter.com/2080adam/status/1013811407735967745

He's pulling off the ball. Same thing he was doing when struggling early in the year (remember home opener vs Tigers?). Instead of squaring up the pitches he makes contact with, he's hitting more off end of bat or fouling off to the left side.

Yeah you're going to have to throw in someone like Hansen and more. Gray has a ton of value still, as I believe he has the 5th best metrics in all of baseball

and Eloy just hurt his leg it seems on a swing and had to leave the game

But at least we know one person who was overjoyed for four more nights

Beginning to look a bit like the game that caused the 2016 collapse

2 caught stealing catching for Cease also

I'm with you, either put him as a reliever or trade him in a bust for bust deal.

He's not good at this whole pitching thing. Surprised people still think he has a shot as a starter

Really an awesome start given the weather, Rangers being on fire and the poor defense he got today. Smith called a great game. Love seeing 3-2 offspeed pitches, as it's not like our pitchers have good fastball command.

Gotcha thanks. Sick of seeing that injury this season

Rondon pulled from Charlotte. Wonder if he's coming up and Leury hurt his knee again?

Love watching good Avi. Before there was Timmy and Yoan to follow their at bats religiously, there was Avi

He's just pulling off the ball too much vs RHP. Causing him to not make the same quality of contact he had earlier in year against fastballs, and it's giving him no prayer against offspeed pitches. If you go back and look at changeup he missed in last at bat yesterday, it's the perfect illustration of why he's fallen off a cliff.

Lopez picks him up. His breaking pitches have been great today.

My god Yolmer, take the easy out. Very disappointed in his decision making this season.

So I looked it up, he's hitting .194 on the season if he doesn't put the first pitch into play.

Ops in the .430s vs LHP. no way he wouldn't be better than that batting lefty full time

Great slide for Jose

Kind of want to see him leadoff full time and let Yoan bat 2nd. Might result in more fastballs for Yoan.

That was great swing adjustment by Anderson. Had been pounded inside the last at bat and adjusted his swing

Great pitches after visit
