Nope. I'd put San Diego and Atlanta ahead.

Basabe with a 3 hit game. Keep hitting kid.

And he's mercifully replaced. Sigh.

6

4 walks in 1 inning now.

Hansen with an awful strike ratio, a wild pitch, 3 walks in the first already. Who broke this dude?

How is this jackass not banned yet?

Shrug. If they aren't calling up Eloy or Kopech, why would they call up Hamilton?

Becuz we tanking baby.

Oof. Sitting fastball. Got it. Gone.

Carlos amped. Hitting 97.

Too many walks for me.

It's disheartening that Timmy hasn't walked this month. His approach to start the year was so encouraging.

Omar is becoming rather interesting with the bat. I wish he was becoming interesting with the glove too.

Yea. I kinda feel you need to follow the Rays model. When a guy is getting close to free agency, you need to cash in that chip to reload. And theoretically you already have a capable replacement ready for him in the system that isn't too far off.

Yup. And I'm not sure when Carlos would maximize a return either. Off-season if he finishes strong? Trade deadline next year? Do you bank on him becoming injury free?

He's really in an odd spot as far as where he fits into the next contention window. Realistically they aren't competing next year. Possibly 2020? At that point you have 2 years of Carlos control left. Do you try to win with him? Or do you try to flip him at some point for a return that will bolster the younger core? I'm of the opinion you turn him into prospects since I'm not convinced contention is happening anytime soon.

Any of you Chris Archer interested teams want a Carlos Rodon instead?

Yup. Dude swings his arms and body around after pitches. It doesn't help that he's been missing strike calls consistently.

Eloy single.

Ugh a Hawk game. Go away.

Bryce Bush with a hit to start the game. He's been on fire since being assigned.

Stop winning! Think of the draft pick!

This new Volstad is very refreshing.
