I'm gonna go with 8-9. The Cincy series is gonna depend on who starts for them. If you miss 2 of Bauer/Gray/Castillo somehow, our chances of winning that series go up by quite a bit.

Did that scout just forget about Davante Adams? Don't get me wrong, AR is great. But Adams is an elite WR.

It also means we'll have to come up with a spot start on Tuesday against the Twins. I'm guessing Rodon may be ready by then?

This means Dallas can't be back until 9/17 against the Twins. It also means Reylo is starting Saturday against Detroit.

Uh oh...

Let's not involve Colome tonight Gio...

McCann interferes far too much.

He's trying to throw nothing but curveballs.

Gio trying to make it interesting.

Flores throwing in the pen. I guess he's not starting Saturday either.

That's the best Yoan's looked for a long time. He hit the ball hard 3 times today.

He's inching along. First one was 5 innings, this one 6. Next one will be 7.

Guess they want to keep his pitches down? I mean that's the only real explanation for pulling him. Also if DK isn't starting Saturday and Gonzalez isn't starting Saturday, does that mean Rodon will start that game?

Cleveland just lost to KC. Thanks Royals!

Does Gio throwing mean Reylo is starting against the Tigers?

He had just curbed his strikeouts for the past couple of weeks too. Weird to see him regress against the Pirates of all teams.

We might actually get 7 innings out of a starter today.

He actually has really good exit velo numbers. I think he's at 90.5 average exit velo. He's just got a launch angle under 6 degrees right now.

James saw Grandal getting too close to his offensive numbers and decided to put an end to that discussion

The McCann vs. Grandal debate will continue

I wonder what his pitch limit is at right now. He hasn't gone past 80 yet in his starts

I'm not sure why he's swinging at junk when this guy just walked Eloy on 4 pitches. Somebody has to get in his ear about that.

Somebody needs to tell him he's getting 50% fastballs now.

Good thing it didn't matter.

That ball was an inch or 2 completely off the plate. Didn't get any part of it.
