Like everyone else, Lopez got off to a terrible start offensively. He's playing much better in second half. What will Getz do with him in off season?

Yes, seriously.

He's made 3 horrible plays in CF. this year. Just sayin.

Maybe that's why coach sent Sheets last inning.

Vargus not starting.

Were those things addictive?

What did Law say?

Not sure what the record is that he broke. Just a bunch of hits.

17th round draft pick.

Only his agent knows.

Super rookie. Comes up to D-Backs and gets 3 hits in first game. Not done since 1901.

I'm still pissed off at this play. Grady can't sweep this under his rug. Yes, Cub bench was laughing out loud after the play.

No. The Vargus trade is a real head scratcher. He was a DFA candidate with all the injured Dodgers coming back. So, we give up Fedde, Pham and Kopech for him and 2 A-Ballers.

Baldwin needs to sit for a few days. Grady should make him do cut off drills after the game with teammates watching.

Baldwin has no excuse for non-throw.

Flexen has a mechanical issue.

And, what does the MLBP Union give up for this concession?

Nishida had 3 bags.

Might be true to a small extent.

Vargus makes the Fedde/Pham trade look terrible. Maybe it's just a slump. Nerves. Trying too hard. Needs a shrink.

At least he got a haircut.

My conclusion is that GMs are not very bright, especially compared to agents.

Was Ed Herrera of DSL team one of Paddy's picks?

Back to Vargus. Getz obviously played right into Dodgers' plans. No way were they going to keep Vargus on the roster once their injured guys came back. He had DFA written all over him. Getz could have waited 2 weeks and he would get Vargus for a token.

Robert and Moncada represent the two highest front end MLB signing bonuses of all time, and it's not even close.
