Palka is more fun to watch than Moncada right now.

To be fair I think you'd rather get a root canal than see Moncada succeed.

Might as well throw all 67 mph screwballs and hope for the best.

This dude was FSL MVP last year...huge jump to majors in one season.

 

Just hope they get DP instead of walk-off...although getting another 4 pick would kinda suck after suffering through this season.

Huge huge gamble to avoid the DP.

Nice bullpen usage Rick

Ricky makes a million pitching changes when he doesn't necessarily need to...RIGHT NOW WOULD BE A NECESSARY TIME TO DO A PITCHING CHANGE.

Have we swept anyone this year ?

Nibble nibble nibble... Falling behind in the count is gonna cost him.

Palka seems to be a good dude to hang out with

You get the feeling that Palka was either messing around or he thinks Benetti is a jackass. Either way that was kind of awkward to watch

Palka interview was great

Might have been our last game without Eloy...

Yeah I give him the benefit of the doubt but if I didn't know better I'd think he was being a prick

Yeah, that'd help, but even without many walks, the dude has an OPS of .785. Extrapolated over a full year, the dude would get something like 65 XBHs, including 35 homeruns. He's earning his spot, AFAIC.

Definitely agree. He’s almost the equivalent of Adam Dunn without the walks. Kind of fun to watch if I do say so myself. 

First 4 game win streak all year for the boys. Must feel good for that young team.

Well benetti can be somewhat annoying with the stupid questions

What Palka provides is exactly what has been missing; a middle of the order LH bat. He provides that kind of presence. 

Sandwich him somewhere in between Avi, Abreu and Eloy and you have a potent, balanced middle of the order, 3 through 6.

When this team is playing meaningful games, that kind of lineup will force opposing managers to make more bullpen changes.
