Mazara can't even hit that BP pitch out 

Mazara’s power is gone. Looks like he but that decently and it went about 300 feet.

I thought Mazara crushed it off the bat...RIP

Thought Mazara might have that one but nope weak flyout.

So is Mazara just washed? What’s going on with him? I thought the dude was strong af- I thought he would have issues with swing and miss, bad pitch recognition, and too many ground balls based on his past but I thought he had raw power...

All I know is there’s not a chance in hell he can be brought back next year

Cease starting to miss badly, as his mechanics a little different than first inning.  His follow-thru isn’t as quiet as first inning.

Cease out of the stretch isn't nearly as crisp so far.

Nice play TA!

Nice DP

6-5-3!

Nice positioning!  Time for a Yoan homer

Yoan almost bungled that on the transition from glove to hand.

Damn Josh Bell is having a rough year. Think 2019 was just an aberration for him?

wow, cease has the 6th lowest chase rate on his breaking pitches of all mlb pitchers

Nick's gotta get that average back above .400

Magic man swinging for the fences.

That's one thing that's been exceptional this year.

I’ll settle for a patented Yoan walk although a homer would obviously be preferable—as it would spare him from potentially having to run the bases hard 

Madrigal works a leadoff walk

Doesn’t get the slider close enough

Command issues. He starts locating pitches and they’ll chase the ones that drop out of the zone. Maybe he should take a page out of Giolito’s book and choose between the slider and curve 

moncada looks absolutely horrendous.

You have to throw strike one and two before you get mlb hitters chasing off speed.
