I wonder if this sets us up to include Shultz in a trade for a big fish of the Logan Webb, Mason Miller, or Hunter Goodman mold.

Oh Castillo has one more year after 26?

I wonder if: A.) They buy into the fact that the way Seattle has thrown him around really has effected him B.) Maybe they have identified something they believe will help him return to form. C.) Value his playoff push / playoff experience. ( I haven’t looked into his numbers for those situations yet.) It’s a head scratcher for me at first but if this is one of two starting pitchers we add as the lesser add, we have plans to bring up McDougal, and we also get a catcher / RH bat / more help in the pen - it may make sense. Would have rather had this be for Kirby.

I don’t like trading away from our pen where Dominguez looked to have restored his form and I also don’t like that it included Boston for a rental. I’ll wait until after the deadline because this isn’t the only move and we all know this.

Wonder if one guy we send out will be Rikku in another deal. At first glance, I’m not liking the trade with Seattle.

Lots of rumored players are sitting out their games… it’s about to get hot in here folks!

Lots of it floating around - shocking

God damned Cubs.

Another thing with Soriano is he’s been lights out all year aside from his starts against us and the Yankmes… Maybe the Sox picked up on something with him that they know they can easily change to push him to another level.

Oh snap - wonder if this has anything to do with Soriano also being scratched.

I’m a Seattle and Dbacks Stan right now.

likely bullshit but this is a package of two dudes I would love for us to bag.

It gets us there but I’m not giving up Bonemer for him. No thanks.

Which was still below league average.

Truth. And I seriously doubt a RH center fielder is really high on Getz wish list.

I do recall one pundit reporting that one thing on our wishlist for the deadline is a RH bat. Maybe Getz will shock us and bring someone to man centerfield with Peters ongoing struggles. The next 48 hours are going to be interesting!

Nah - dude enjoys it obviously and brings it on himself. Also gives us some comedic relief when there are tough losses like this.

Hopefully the brain trust learns from this and the team can start executing on the manufacturing side of the offense. We’re going to need to win these types of games in the playoffs.

I wish they wouldn’t have run into an out at second with Braden getting caught stealing and also wish they would have pinch ran Acuna for Grich with Peters laying down a bunt. Manufacturing runs and cashing in with RISP and less than two outs have been this teams weakness on the offensive side. Once they crack the code on those issues, this team will immediately become much much more dangerous. It is my number one gripe with them along with their need for stronger starting pitching and production from their catchers. I also wonder what our record would be this year if both Mune and Teel had been healthy all season.

You should be forced to take this loss up your ass Ron.

Yea, on paper we had no business winning this game. In the box score it’ll show it was closer than it “should have been”. In reality - we could have won this game if just a couple of key things went a different way. This game was THE definition of “a game of inches.”

Yup yup
