I like seeing PCA screw up.

That team can MASH. Their bullpen is awful, though.

He didn't have to trade Semien, Bassitt and Tatis Jr. He didn't have to bank on signing Machado or Harper when he knew Reinsdorf sucks. He could've drafted better in the first round - of the 12 picks Hahn made, only Anderson, Rodon, Burger and Crochet have provided any value, with none of them still on the team. Jury's still out on the last couple, of course. Point is, he needs to look in the mirror.

How different this team looks when the "bench" players come in.

I met Ray Durham playing mini golf in the Chicago burbs in 2002. Had a real nice conversation with him, and he talked about how they were about to go on a run. He was traded like two weeks later.

Nice play Vargas!

Hope that doesn’t come back to bite them

That was a real nice at bat by Sosa. Very patient.

In the air please Vaughn

Damn. Vargas crushed that.

Elko having some trouble. Hope he figures it out.

I like this “Vaughn hitting” thing

Gladney HR off Burns was the difference. Barons win 1-0. Overall offensive numbers for the Barons are ROUGH.

That's right - think they swept the Rays during that.

This team being .500 over their last 12 games or whatever feels like they're at the top of the division compared to what we've seen for the last year.

Throw strikes please Booser

I disagree

Boy, that turned around FAST

Awful big swing by Rojas with two strikes there

I would assume he was there just to work on some swing/approach changes, and the results didn't matter. He did what they wanted him to do so he went back to Charlotte. We'll see if it makes a difference.

Checking game day and there’s a pitch right down the middle called a ball. Has the strike zone really been that bad today?

I love Elko

Good bounce back after the sweep

So the contact play WASN’T on. “Wheels” Vaughn just thought he could beat that out.

I don’t even think they could get the equivalent of Kimbrel for Vaughn.
