Jose Abreu

Nice

Nice

Rodon, Moncada, and TA all killing it? If we pull this out it may be my favorite game of the year

MONCADA IS GOOD

Of course, he's just being really annoying about it. Either way, his pitch count is too high for me to get too excited

Benetti needs to chill with the hinting right now, too

Yeah Renteria sucks

Moncada has been a walk god this month

Rodominant

Leave it to Avi to swing on a 1-0 count after back to back walks

Abreu misses a grand slam by inches

I know this is a game thread but if the Padres ruin their rebuild like this...

Moncada and TA doing very well tonight. Good to see

Nice play TA

I believe Trout is 0-something against Rodon in his career. There's some stat where Trout, Betts, Bryant, maybe Goldschmidt or someone, etc. are 0-20 against Rodon. Purposely waiting to post this until after the AB so I can't be a jinx

My roommate is actually good friends with Kyle Muller from high school. I didn't realize how good he has been this year. I'd be happy with that deal

I think he's this month's grossly overrated Yankee by fans/media so people think he has a ton of trade value. I can't even have a conversation with a Yankees fan lately without them bringing up how good Drury is.

Engel over Leury again, yay

Of course it's not much sample size, and while his numbers may worsen, I think that he has the control and makeup to remain an effective reliever if healthy. Groome, on the other hand, is someone who may never be healthy. Relievers are indeed insanely volatile but I'd still be hesitant to give up on one who's so promising, cheap, and throws 5 quality pitches

I truly think you have to be a lunatic to take him seriously at this point. He says one thing and then backtracks it 5 minutes later and his base pretends that the first thing never happened. Rinse and repeat.

Not really. If we trade 6 years of Fry for Chavis I'd be really annoyed. The guy is a lefty with an 11.6 K/9, good control, and left handed hitters hit .093 against him with a .299 OPS. His deception and profile do not scream regression to me. At some point we need to start keeping the guys who will be here until 2024. I understand the always trade relievers thing but Fry is an exception to me with his team control and consistency. The only way I can see us winning a trade in which we let him go is if he gets injured.

I don't see the point in acquiring a basically league-average hitting, poor fielding, 26 year old utility infielder. As @JUSTgottaBELIEVE said, he's like Yolmer- kind of the anti-Yolmer because he's more offense first while Yolmer is more defense first. I don't see the fit

Exactly, so it’s even more dangerous to play 2 innings and risk anything.

If he were having heart problems that prevented him from playing, then why did he end up playing the last 2 innings anyway? Wouldn't it be best for him to just sit out?
