Acuna is a slick defender.

Braden is fouling off hittable pitches, not a good stretch for him.

get out of that fucking crouch and get on your knees and block that s%*#.

come the f*** on quero

A no doubt line drive that cleared the fence by about 3 feet? Stone, go see the optometrist.

DOYLE

He dials it up when needed imo.

Aced him.

Pope is basically just the human interpretation of god's word and sets catholic doctrine. He's not an idol himself, which I can respect. Catholics are pretty big about you worship the big guy upstairs, not church leaders.

Ump giving a long intimate hug to the Cinci 1st base coach. Fix is in.

Yea stone mentioned something like that as well. Well, he should change it up as it's clearly not working for him.

Noticed quite a bit of our guys doing it in Seattle. Probably safer on arm then the heavy ball and gets the muscles going.

Well we got 6 of us from college still in it, 5 of them are from Michigan so yea.

Tigers fans in my group chat chirping too. Crickets for 4 months now they want to talk.

Rooting for a meteor in this Detroit Tribe series. Probably prefer Cle takes 2/3, cool off Tigers a bit.

Would probably be better for him. Gets the rest of his pro rated 40 man salary and can decide to take the rest of year off, go back to Japan, or try and find a new club. That said, he'll always be a big leaguer for those three weeks, even if he never gets back, he's in a very small club. I see Boston is apparently going to DFA Jake Rogers. This would obviously be an option for the Sox.

Playing a man down again. Great. If he's hurt put him on the IL.

I've insinuated they are using technology at home to steal pitches. Someone in twitter speculated they might be hacking pitchcom and have a relay system. Cheating is ingrained in baseball, if you ain't cheating you ain't trying and all that. It wouldn't surprise me if they are doing something.

Reds come in with worst offense in MLB by wRC+. Be nice to see Burke dominant tonight and the other guys keep it going.

Smith has such a funky ass delivery and appears to have tremendous spin rates on all his pitches based on how early some guys were committing. To me it looks like something you can work with, even rocking a very high walk rate. We'll see how he looks when teams get better data, but that was a pretty solid debut. If he's coming out of the pen he just needs 30 juiced pitches so if he walks someone, go get that strikeout at max effort next batter.

I can see that as well. This guy is supposed to be very solid at SS as well FWIW. Acuna seems to get a long well with the club and if we have to cut him here I agree, if he has an option might be worth considering if Getz has a good idea of the personality of Mateo and if he'd be willing to be the 26th man.

FG's database is all screwed up but it seems like he's slightly better than Acuna and we don't need another CF with Doyle added. Does Acuna have an option year? If so easy call. I appreciate what Acuna has done as the 26th man but if we can get better lets do it.

Farmer was the best bad announcer of all time. He had a great voice for radio and would go off on tangents instead of calling the game but he was easy on the ears in a way a lot of rambling announcers are not.
