Ump gifts TA another pitch and gets on.

Well this ump clearly isn't giving Lynn the calls Pineda is getting.

Lynn needs to get the zone Pineda is getting.

His spin rates are down, but they were never high to begin with. He's in the bottom 4% in fastball spin.

You feeling anything about anyone else on the team?

Pineda hanging a bunch of sliders.

It was a good matchup Steve!

Not a great 2 strike pitch there. But he gets out of it.

Not a real good start for Lynn.

And we're doing absolutely nothing against his 89 mph fastballs.

Pineda has nothing so far.

Right as TA hit his single, Kiermaier put the Rays up 6-1 with a 3 run homer. It was pretty much simultaneous.

At least he's honest about it. Unlike a certain over the hill pitcher on the other side of town.

The contract is picked up by another team only if they claim him off waivers right? If he clears waivers and gets released, we still pay him the rest of his salary. I doubt he gets claimed and we're not going to end up outrighting him to Charlotte afterwards.

Maybe Eaton didn't allow any partying in the clubhouse. He's a grumpy old man after all.

Looks like the right FA OFer to sign was Schwarber. I doubt the Sox were even all that interested.

lmao Goodwin is definitely happy he'll have a job for at least one more month.

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.
