We can blame KW and Paddy specifically for Quero, the Yankees' 1B and Patino. Hahn looked and sounded like that was the first time he'd ever tried to pronounce Quero when he got up to the podium to make the announcement.

Twins Giants Dbacks Mariners didn't exactly distinguish themselves...

2 1/2 back...2 behind Reds Tied a four game series runs scored record dating back 123 years.

De La Cruz arm >>> tiny Madrigal legs

Or Benintendi when Pollock took less $$$.

Can we get Bobby Bonilla back? Or at least Bip Roberts?

Forster Gossage Tanner Allen etc.

Are you from FL? Or CA?

"Age: 23 2022 Stats: 6 G, 6 GS, 20.0 IP, 26 H (6 HR), 11 K, 13 BB, 8.10 ERA Contract Status: Under club control through 2026 Why the Risk Is Low Luis Patiño was the Tampa Bay Rays' big prize in the trade that sent 2018 American League Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell to the San Diego Padres in Dec. 2020. To wit, MLB.com had him ranked as the No. 23 prospect in the minor leagues. Patiño has struggled to live up to the hype, especially in 2022. He sustained an oblique injury in April and never got back on track afterward. Heading into 2023, he's been relegated to a depth option for the Rays rotation. Why the Reward Is High There isn't a whole lot on Patiño's major league record worth getting excited about, as his 5.10 ERA over 114.2 career innings comes paired with too few strikeouts (106) and too many walks (56) and home runs (21). Still, it would be folly to write off Patiño while he's still only 23 years old and has lightning in his arm. He's gotten his fastball as high as 100.3 mph in the majors, and his slider as high as 89.8 mph. As Patiño is listed at a slender 6'1", 192 pounds, whether he can sustain stuff like that in a starting role remains a good question. But at the least, other teams can dream of him as a potential weapon in a relief role." bleacherreport.com

"He's been dealt a tough hand this year for a 22-year-old kid, from the short spring training, to getting hurt and then dealing with the blister and coming back up here,'' Rays pitching coach Kyle Snyder said Sunday. "He's never been hurt, and you have to deal with all the psychological issues of that, too. This is all new to him. He's never had to deal with any of this before, and we all have to remember that he's very, very young. "It's really hard to deal with all of this at the major-league level, too, because there's a whole other level of stress when you're here, trying to get big-league hitters out and winning games when you're on a team trying to win like we are.'' https://www.si.com/mlb/rays/news/tom-brew-my-two-cents-important-remember-tampa-bay-rays-starter-luis-patino-just-22-years-old

KYLe doesn't love the large font...

Just nicely played a short hop into a DP...applauded by former teammate and WS winner Cueto. Early feedback is that he's much more athletic than anyone thought. Johnny with a 4.95 ERA that came a lot cheaper than Lynn's 6+. Marlins' broadcast just mentioned JB Shuck and Emilio Bonifacio lol...

Burger and Yerminator eponymous food specials haven't been very long lasting...

Most predictable thing in the world. Watch Kelly not have a blown save here on out...

Narvaez and McCann were pretty much the only positive developments...Hahn generously helped with Kelvim Escobar's retirement plan.

We aren't even as entertaining as the Washington Generals back in their hey day. I'd even reluctantly go with Shaquille's The General auto insurance ads.

And because they were still on the hook for $29 million to Moncada, which they are stubbornly unwilling to consider a sunk cost.

And Gimenez Straw Clase...Foolishly signed Bell for $33 milion/2 years.

He and his mom gossiped that opportunity away...

Hahn's quite fortunate Liam doesn't seem like the suing/crying over spilt milk kind of guy or there might be another lawsuit filed to take away that one positive memory this year of his short-lived triumphant return to the mound.

Same questions about Hahn Haber Getz ...

Back today at leadoff. Burger hitting fifth for Marlins.

Kelly Bummer Ruiz Shaw Diekman Lopez Graveman Hendriks a lot higher than $35 million, factoring in buyouts too.
