Had you told me in March that Hector Santiago would be our best starter I'd have said "yes, this team will be awful"

Let Leury Play

Leury's a nice little player. There was a point in time when we had Semien, Saladino, Micah Johnson, Leury, and Yolmer in the minors and it sure felt at the time like we had an embarrassment of riches when it came to high-floor, low-ish ceiling versatile infielders. Turns out we were mostly right. I think we'd be happy to have kept Semien in the system, but getting some value for Micah when we could was impressive and Saladino's age and possibly health ended up making him expendable.

i have a lot to say

Engel with the swinging bunt for a hit,just like he planned it.

Eight years since a win against the Pirates 

Ah shucks , big chance gone

Fry on it again

Yo!mer

At least we found a lefty that can get outs out of the pen. Baby steps. 

Fry & Sanchez are fucking good.

Well now I wish we had developed Fry as a starter.

Send Bummer down and see if they can get him to where Fry is.

Doesn’t seem like his arm could handle a starter’s workload.  Didn’t he have two Tommy John surgeries?

Yolmer and Leury are actually 2 WAR players.  Yolmer might actually be a 3-4 WAR player.  That is absolutely amazing.  Probably the most encouraging thing on the big league club this season.  Just sign Yolmer now IMO.  He's proven he's a solid starting 3B.  Offer him a 5 year extension with some club options at the end TA style.

They're in the National League so we rarely play them but...still 7 straight losses over 3 series. Not good.

Yeah. Shame on #2 for sure now. Hope he can get a decent career out of it still, great stuff and control.

I would like, at whatever time it's needed, for Yolmer to try out the OF. I'm not sure if he has the athleticism to cover CF but you can see some of that Zobrist-esque full-time utility guy in Yolmer.

Uh oh, Soria time

My god soria is awful

Tank Commander Soria in to save the day

I’ll give Greg credit for one thing, Soria is most definitely a stiff.

Stone just schooling Jason on the baseball strategy...lol.
