Personally, I'd much prefer to get Fulmer out of the game right now and leave his statistical line where it stands.

That would be a huge moral victory, especially after giving up 6-1 and 9-4 leads against the A's his last time out.

Got high fives in the dugout and has has jacket on. Gotta imagine he's done.

Nothing wrong with pulling him here either.  Thought they might extend him after as much as the pen was used this weekend. 

Did that one fan who missed the catch get hit in the balls?

I'd probably take Skole's bat over Palka, but it's irrelevant in the overall scheme of things.

The question is what kind of numbers would you get combining Davidson and Delmonico at DH?  That would seem to be the most viable option, all things considered.

 

In my opinion both Nicky and Matt are hitting too well for limited roles right now

Abreu is so fun to watch at the plate. His swing is beautiful 

All the Moncada talk and Abreu is quietly 4-4, 2 HRs.

this is neat

Gotta love this start for Carson. If you check the box score it won't jump out at you but he really didn't have any issue with his command all night. He needs to work on his offspeed mix but this was a big step forward.

Absolutely. I heard somewhere that he made a mechanical adjustment since Friday night. I see that it also resulted in a couple extra mph on the fastball for Fulmer. I hope that Coop can do the same for Giolito. 

This is much more fun than what we’ve been getting

That's okay.  We're going to get Ace Fulmer tonight.  That one run is all he needs.

I was almost right.

Can Skole play the OF or RF for that matter?

Absolute best at keeping his head down as well.

Jose Abreu ladies and gentlemen!

Every day needs to be dog day

Moncada strikeout rate currently at 39.5%, and that's including the borderline call...

10% left to chop off.

Maybe 3-5% this year, another 5% next year.

Haha had to like that one Alex.

Looks like Skole has only played 3B and 1B in his entire career...although one could assume he MIGHT be able to play LF (see Delmonico).

At any rate, Davidson/Delmonico as a DH pairing is meant for 2019/20.  Definitely not this year.

Beck sitting at 95-96. Got the Ricky Vaughn type glasses on.

Guess the glasses didn't work.

Chris Beck has proven for a while now he's not good at all yet he was called up today. Not much cannon fodder depth currently in Charlotte

Hawkins, Keon Barnum  and Beck were our top 3 picks in the 2012 draft.  Hopefully this year is better.

To be fair there are guys like Gomez and Cedeno who are good but not on the 40 man 

Remember when Chris Beck was a top 10 prospect, good god those were some dark days.

God speed Burdi...
