Every pitcher should be made available, and every hitter not named Robert or Colas (IMO).

I mean, Vaughn isn't exactly tearing it up the last month, himself...and you burn 2 bench guys by doing that...

This feels like a 1-0 in 10 innings type of loss.

New hitter, same result.

Ump at first, isn't the best this inning.

Grandal with an amazing day at the plate...2 K's and a tapper back to the pitcher.

"We feel like we're right in this thing, until the end. We're out here, looking for another couple of quality arms like Alex Colome and Bryan Shaw, to add to this championship core."

See how awesome Lynn is, other teams in contention? You should try to get him ASAP!

Lol what? We're stealing with Elvis Andrus?

Pound that ball into the ground, boys...well done. Glad the approach hasn't changed in 5+ years.

Who is this guy on the mound, in Lance Lynn's uniform?

Yep, I think this is EXACTLY the time you wave Burger around, as a power bat for contending teams.

Luis Robert, and Colas to a bit of a lesser degree, are the only reasons I watch this team, at this point. I think its insane to even consider a trade that involves Luis.

You don't trade Robert. Most of this roster is expendable, but guys like him aren't going to be easy to find. Matter of fact, to me, the entire outfield stays: 1 because he is cheap and controllable with potential, 1 because he is a legitimate superstar who is signed under value, and one because no one will take his contract for what he provides with 4 years left. Everyone else is on the table.

The pitcher version of Yoan Moncada is back in his old stomping grounds....the IL. Says a lot about how awesome this organization is, when we're throwing Jesse Scholtens, Nick Padilla and Tanner Banks out there, as our pitchers first up from AAA when needed.

True, sometimes I like to forget 2020 was what it was. I guess I'm just at the point where, it would behoove both sides to just move on. We're not going to ever get the player we thought we were going to get. We thought we were getting a top tier talent, and we got a pretty good talent who spends a lot of time on the IL. Unfortunately, we have no answers at 3B, because.....well the organization flat out sucks at talent development and acquisition.

Problem there, is, baseball is a 'what have you done for me lately?' game. And Yoan lately has done....well...very little. 3 of the last 4 seasons, under 1 WAR, for a guy at his salary, is crazy.

Colas probably has the day off, so Sheets can play RF. That's how our organization works.

1 L closer to the sell off.

AV just up there swinging at everything, regardless of the location.

Springer with an Eloy-esque night in RF tonight. Alas, doesn't matter, no big hit there when needed.

TA with 2 hits in the 2 hole, good. Seeing as he isn't going to be moved, hopefully he just hits.

Amazing bullpen work.

7th inning? Time for ReyLo, regardless of the situation. Pedro doing his 'managing by script' method.
