Vaughn with all the BABIP luck today.

Smeltzer has been giving up 3 homers a game his past few starts FWIW. We really shouldn't be having this much trouble squaring him up.

Engel having problems with fastballs right down the middle at 90.

And he's got good velocity today too. Probably his best in nearly a month.

Robert is gonna go on the IL for having vertigo isn't he?

Now TLR finds the balls to bench his players for playing like ass? Doubtful.

Well at least it's not a soft tissue injury.

Robert's injury just put a huge damper on our odds of winning this series.

Ugh, he didn't look right running home. Also explains the hesitancy on defense.

It almost looks like he's rolling over on purpose when there's guys on base.

I'm surprised McGuire actually got to 3rd on that.

What a stroke by Reese

Might not be the worst idea, although who do you open with? Not Velasquez or Martin.

Rushed a throw flat footed and it ended up taking Jose off the bag. Good throw gets Buxton by a step.

Robert even had trouble catching that one.

His location has not been there at all after the Arraez AB.

Kopech is just not real good in the first inning. The defense let him down today though.

Kopech is gonna need to get 5 outs this inning.

Robert needs glasses

Kopech actually threw 95 in the first inning.

If Pollock isn't gonna hit a soft tossing lefty, who is he gonna hit?

Just IL him.

This may have been the case when TLR was originally hired, but at this point, he's done enough stupid shit as manager that I'm judging him only on his decisions in baseball and not elsewhere.

Yeah Seby has missed the ball at home at least twice. If it hops on the way home, there's a good chance he's whiffing on it.

Seby's been decent so far at the plate, but I'm not sure his numbers are really as good as they seem. He's 2 for 3 against position players with a double and a homer. Take those away and he's hitting .287/.333/.425. That's a 65 point drop in OPS just based on 3 ABs against position players where the game was already decided.
