Zavala has no hit tool. Here's to hoping he gets a start or 2 a week to give Collins a breather.

If we're willing to eat $4 million on DFA, we're definitely willing to take on some money in a trade.

I think a team like the Yankees will probably pick him up.

Yoan out. I was hoping Collins would get a start at DH to build on his good night at the plate. Lefties are much better vs. Pineda.

Yeah he's owed a $1 million buyout and the rest of his $7 million salary.

I actually agree with this. Unless Engel can play everyday, I actually don't like this move. We're once again thin in the OF. I hope this means a deal for an OF will happen soon.

I'm surprised they actually DFA'd Eaton. He's still owed $3+ million.

Well I don't think xBA was a thing when Wise made his catch. This one just seems more difficult given the conditions. Wise's catch was obviously under much higher leverage given the perfect game on the line.

We were more or less no hit for 7 innings and somehow won.

Good to see Hendriks back up his talk before the series. Big win to stop the losing streak. Carlos was the stopper, Collins stepped up big time, and what a fucking play by Hamilton. Not only is that a tough catch he caught it while it was pouring with an outfield that's taken rain for the entire day.

Phew! What a crazy ass game.

That ball had an expected batting average of .800. Wow.

The catch probability of that is probably 1%.

Yeah Billy definitely catches that ball Goodwin missed last night.

BILLY!!!

We really suck against Coulombe.

Maybe they're the French and Spanish version of the same word.

Only 14 pitches for Liam that inning. He can definitely go another.

I think he's only available for one inning while they ease him back into action. The rain tonight probably doesn't help.

Liam got 3 Ks on the curve.

This is actually very forward thinking of TLR. You want your best guy in the biggest spots against the other team's best hitters. It's something he hasn't done this year and it's something you'll see the Rays do.

Another nice curveball. Good to see Liam using that effectively for once.

Nice curveball

Well this is definitely interesting. Never thought La Russa would go to Hendriks for a 6 out save in July.

What are the odds they stop this game? It's been raining all game and now it's raining really hard.
