Trayce will probably be in the lineup tomorrow, I would think. What makes you think he will be in the lineup? I hope they let him start in CF or RF and DH either Eaton or Avi

Good, glad he is back. I assume Shuck will be going on the DL

I mentioned this in the gamethread but nobody seemed on board. "He needs the experience" I think was the argument for him staying up here. He has way too much to work and I think it would be best for him to do it in AAA. Similar to Micah Johnson, he could hit but really needed to work on his fielding. Rodon has the stuff but doesn't have the command at all. Erik Johnson has IMO is back to the form we were all excited about last year so I would rather bring him up and see if we have something for the future. Knowing where he is at will help determine what we need to do in the off-season regarding starting pitching.

First post is updated. Still 3.5 games back but being passed by more teams

Glad we brought in the guy who pitched 2 innings yesterday lol

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 08:34 PM) The #4/5 starters coming into the season was a huge blunder by Hahn. I think we can fix one of them with Erik Johnson for now

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 08:32 PM) There's no issue with him being at the back of the rotation, he's basically a pretty good #4 starter who has good upside. But anyone who thought he was going to destroy the league and be this huge record setter as a rookie...was just fooling themselves. He is fine on a team that doesn't want to compete this year and we are that team. He gets experience but we can't realistically believe we can win with him and Danks going 2 out 5 times.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 08:30 PM) It's like this team forgot how to win in 48 hours Or this pitcher isn't cut out for this spot yet.

Rodon is just horrible when he is in the stretch. Wow.

What a bad jump by Adam. Jesus

chip away. Can't let up more runs though

LaRoche pops up or strikes out 90% of the time

I wonder if this offense will just lay down and die

I would rather have Erik Johnson up here to be honest.

Rodon is not ready to be a starting pitcher on a winning club. He needs a lot more work, IMO

game over...

I also don't know why Cooper didn't come out after walking Young

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 07:47 PM) No clue why he is pitching from the stretch Me either. Stupid decisions

great. horrible start to this home stand

Next 2 games are going to be tough.

pitch from the wind up Rodon

Good job Eaton

So Ryan can magically hit .280 now?

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 07:33 PM) s***ty job by the offense there Yeah we didn't get a hit but we worked the count and his pitch count is at 24 already.

at least we made him throw 24 pitches
