The Mighty Mite

What if JR decides to use some of Ishiba’s money to sign some power guys? A couple of power guys in the lineup would probably make the other guys in the lineup a bit better, that and I expect guys like Teel, Montgomery and Baldwin to get stronger and start hitting the ball out of the park.

Agree, 3+straight 100 loss seasons is enough, I would be extremely happy to be competitive and play .500 baseball in 2026. I’m not an expert but with Montgomery, Meidroth, Sosa, Quero and Teel I feel we have a nice nucleus plus some good arms on the pitching staff including the bullpen, this years ERA so far is close to league average. IMO the biggest need is some power hitting outfielders. If you notice I left out Vargas in the nucleus, I’m worried about him, he has been struggling for about a month and is beyond a slump, I hope he figures things out soon.

So is Robertson on the 26 man roster or was he sent to the Minors?

Former White Sox player who also played for and managed the Cubs has died at age 87. I remember him in his only year with the Sox which was 1966 but he will be famously remembered for his classic rant against Cub fans in 1983. May he rest in peace.

Worth a chance.

All right, nice win.

Can’t lay off the low and away pitch.

Why doesn’t Venable have our guys guarding the lines with leads late in games?

Not too good.

I still think that they should make a first basemen out of Teel, make Quero the primary catcher with Lee as the backup. BTW, Quero is in today’s lineup.

I thought I read somewhere that that he was improving.

Hopefully Elko has figured things out while in Charlotte, we need some power bats in the lineup.

Tauchman should be the only vet in the lineup. No need for both Taylor and Slater on the roster.

They’re not working the count tonight.

Where did that come from.

Bring Elko back up, I’d like to see an occasional homer.

These guys are as flat as we’ve seen in awhile. Nothing but pop ups and weak fly balls.

Tauchman hotter than a firecracker.

Home Run Derby tonight, no cheap shots. Bad luck coming home and facing the hottest team in MLB.

Horrible call.

Does anyone really care.

I wish him well also, I kept waiting for him to bust out and have a monster season but instead he regressed every year.

A 3-3 road trip would have been nice and it should have happened except we blew the second game in LA.

Yeah, they look uninterested today.

Not sure, I'm fine with Vargas at first with trying Sosa at 3rd.
