Lambert is out after 2 innings in Charlotte.

Yikes. Who cares about the medicals on a rental? Adolfo probably beats that deal.

I dunno, the mlb app says that ReyLo was throwing 100 in the 8th last night.

Definitely worth a gamble for Miami. At the very least, maybe he's a lefty out of the pen. Plus, bonus, he's a local kid.

Eloy looks like he is more toned as well as being better in the field. I think spending a month rehabbing with Robert may have been good for him.

Pathetic.

Nice play!

2nd ab was a walk.

Probably scouted Toro when they played us. He killed us, but hasn’t done much against others. Clearly they are ready to move on from Seager, but to trade your closer for his replacement after he just beat your division rival with a homer?! Well, Mariners fans will not be pleased.

Given the K rate in the game these days, trading defense for offense makes some sense. KC’s rf is O’Hearn, so not better. I predict that Collins’ defense is the one we’re worried about with Cease on the mound.

Line up is out. Eloy in left, AV in right. Sheets DH. Goodwin in center. Could be an adventure, but we need offense.

The bottom third of this order is really rough.

Three. Eloy smoked that ball to third.

I hope he’s traded before tonight’s game.

Minor is starting so: 1. TA, ss 2. Moncada, 3b 3. Abreu, 1b 4. Eloy, lf-dh 5. AV, dh-lf 6. Engel, rf 7. Leury, 2b 8. Hamilton, cf 9. Zavala, c? Or, you could start AV in right with Eloy in left, Engel in center and get Sheets in the lineup for more pop.

2 of the 3 strikes were nowhere near the zone.

2 homers for Mickey Adolfo. Pretty happy to be out of Birmingham I guess.

Man, that strike call was BS.

Misses now 4-4.

I guess we’re seeing why Getz thought he and Hardin Mendoza were ready for High A

I wonder about them giving Nik Turley a try. He’s been pretty good at Charlotte and does throw lefthanded

National league baseball sucks.

Who? Do you mean "the Guardians?"

Oof. Guardians sounds like a fictional baseball team in a movie not about baseball. Gotham City Guardians. I mean, there was an XFL team named Guardians and that's sort of a fiction football league not about football. I would have gone Spiders.

They actually have a lot of options for RF/DH between Engel/Goodwin/Vaughn/Grandal/Sheets/Burger/Yermin. If Hamilton is on the team. he's a defensive replacement only. I like the flexibility because it allows TLR to play the match ups in the postseason instead of stubbornly sticking to a set line up against a tough righthander. I would like to see an 2b upgrade as well, but I think they can win with what they got if their starting pitchers stay hot.
