Mike is 34 and has been playing a pretty hard RF as well as DHing while not getting many off days. You KNOW his body is screaming at him. He's been a good soldier, he can rest up we'll need something from him in a trade or next year anyways.

Did you see the woman ump's literal first call was similar just on inside of plate? Missed by a good 3 inches she called it a strike.

Tigers catcher was laughing he didn't even believe it.

Jesus christ dude. Robots.

Some Gavin Floyd to him. Needs his good command on the breaking ball.

Exactly. He goes off about the awesome pre game sounds the new pitcher had but doesn't bother to name a single band? Dude, that's the sort of thing we'd like to know. Is bro out there to Bad Bunny or Yoan Moncada jams?

lol, it was so obviously a flare. I was thinking it was a ducksnort that would fall in. Glad it hung up. LISTEN to the SOUND John and Jason.

That's bullshit.

God Teal almost screwed up that strike. Horrible glove movement.

Colson's ability to foul off good fastballs deep in counts has been a positive.

Just STFU John. God he's annoying.

ball isn't fucking carrying at all.

We have had a lot of loud outs this series so far.

That's a nasty breaking ball! Good inning bro.

Exactly why I can't fucking stand John. Notes he had some "latin fire" on his playlist pregame AND DOESN'T NAME A SINGLE BAND. Dude, WTF are you doing? It's a sputtering AI of a play by play guy.

It should just be John in a dunk tank.

I can't imagine living there in summer. I'll be down in Florida for a bit at the start of September. Hopefully no tormentas around.

I must be getting old as I'm sorta sick of summer for the first time in my life. Hot as balls here. Supposed to get some cool rain tmr, sounds good. Sounds like it's been rollercoaster in Chicago, lotta rain, lotta heat, the usual.

One of the nicest features of Camden I thought was literally walking in from the street and being basically at seat level. Makes it feel connected to the neighborhood. At T-Mobile you have to go up just to get to 100 level as well. IMO it makes the stadium seem more self contained, like it was just dropped into that particular corner.

He somehow had a 3/1 K/BB ratio and a 2.12 ERA in Charlotte. Not sure, maybe the Sox ID'd something in him. He was awful as a reliever in MLB. Only 25 so some development left you'd think.

Rojas will never die. Seems like once Meidroth is back we have all the IF more than covered even without Rojas, but who knows what they are thinking.

Probably asked him to go to AAA and he just refused. Oh well. Getz has done a decent job managing the 40 man this year. Losing Julks isn't anything to lose sleep over.

We passed Pit in wRC+ but we're 42 runs worse defensively. We're still 2nd to last in positon player fWAR. Even the Nats have almost double.

Well if Colson is really a 125 wRC+ guy that plays a fine SS that's a 5 WAR player and he'll be in there next year. We'll see. Him coming out of the gate like he has, and it's not just a fluke, his statcast is lit up with deep red, has been a huge boost to the rebuild. If you suddenly have a 3-5 WAR SS that sure as hell jumpstarts things.

p**** is undefeated. Him stepping out was the cosmic moment all his karma got sucked out. Perhaps literally.
