Rays are activating and starting Archer tomorrow so hopefully we clobber him.

Nelson Cruz is going to somehow fuck us this series isn’t he?

Just saw Wacha's numbers. How the hell is he getting starts on a likely playoff team?

Was clearly referring to the other guys who should/could DH LOL Of the 3 (Eloy, Vaughn, Goodwin). edit: there, included an extra word for ya

Interesting that they have a guy in the DH spot that isn't really an every day player but also probably the better defensive corner OF of the 3.

Only 3 things seem certain with the lineup in regards to the order: TA will lead off, Abreu is entrenched in the 3-spot struggling or not, Eloy 4. Where anyone hits seems to be dependent on the handedness of the opposing starting pitcher.

He needs to go back to being more aggressive again.

Grandal will definitely help. Moncada is becoming frustrating and should move down. I posted this in the game thread yesterday, but pretty crazy how we were a Machado signing away from Moncada being the long-term 2B.

Their middle infield depth seems strong right now. Probably one of the reasons they were good dealing Madrigal away.

Yeah if you can do that to get the taste out of this one and to move on, that’d be great.

Oof hope Andrus is ok.

What the hell lol

I was just thinking post-Madrigal trade that we were a Manny Machado signing away from Moncada being the long-term 2B. Now he doesn’t seem like an option at all.

Damn. What’s our bench looking like right now? I feel like ya gotta bat TA for Collins right? just checked: TA, Zavala, Lamb.

Signing Bauer also probably means they don’t sign Rodon either, unless he took a minor league deal with us or signed to pitch out of pen.

Man, Collins is not a catcher.

Wtf was that

I made a similar comment like 2 days before he was traded lol something along the lines of: “I miss the fuck out of that guy” haha

Man that was smoked. Nothing you can do on that one.

From what I remember he was out of their price range.

I like the “careful Eloy” from Len on the homer to left haha

Thanks for clearing that up all. Like I said I wasn’t watching the game.

Possibly Lynn goes on IL? I didn’t watch the game yesterday but from I read this morning, he was upset at the ump because of how late the substance check came as he was going down the tunnel to be checked by a trainer for a physical issue.

Haha your over-optimistic view of the team definitely blinds you sometimes. Only way Rodon stays if he takes a team friendly deal, which I’m not sure why he would. They’re not going to overpay when they can slide Kopech into his rotation spot.

When Grandal comes back and we are at full strength, I hope Cesar hits 9th.
