Hopefully he's here to stay for a while now.

Got claimed by the Marlins?

Maybe. I'd trade defense for offense on this roster for sure. I also don't know how Baldwin is going to learn what he needs to do in MLB by bashing AAA pitching.

I'm on the same page. Let Colson sustain some success in AAA until after the ASB or trade deadline at least. Bring him up once you're confident he's injury-free and producing in a way that he can sustain in MLB. I don't know why Baldwin isn't up yet, especially over Capra. All I can think of is they think Baldwin is in the Elko camp of AAAA players, but even that's better than Capra.

MLB numbers obviously, but he's still a prospect so thought it fit here

I have to imagine some scouts or other internal employees were telling Hahn he shouldn't trade Tatis. The talent was immediately obvious.

Nah, that dude is a special talent. He shot up the Padres system and hit the majors at age 20, after only 3 years in the minors. I don't even think the Sox could've gotten in his way.

Meidroth definitely safe

700 runners left on base so far

Cannon didn't listen yesterday - you need to give up ZERO runs.

They are hitting Verlander pretty hard

Imagine getting outplayed by this guy

See pitching? All you have to do to win is be almost perfect every game. Easy.

Taylor has missed in the zone with that cutter but they still can’t do anything with it

Well, at least Taylor also didn’t get hurt I guess. Though he’d deserve it.

Yes

Oh my god Taylor missed the plate

There’s one!

Yeah I was thinking that too. With Robert out you might as well play Slater.

Don’t see a ball hit the second base bag like that too often. And that’s why a guy like Noda shouldn’t be in right field.

Adames not having a good day at short

I wouldn’t say I have faith in Reinsdorf, but you’re not too far off. I have hope that enough can be done in spite of his vampiric presence to put this franchise in a position to be successful once he finally dies or sells the team.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen Civale miss this badly. I remember him being a paint artist against us.
