He never, ever dives. 

that play really didn't require any diving, just catch the the damn ball and worry about throwing after you have it.   Or at the very least, keep the thing in the infield to not allow a run.   Lopez got stung by inept defense that inning, TA and Eaton (boy, he looks like shit out there too).

If you notice though, Anderson took the long route to the ball and even if he fielded it, he had no chance of getting the out.  If he cut across and dove, it’s a much easier play with shorter throw.

Love that hit the opposite way for Collins.  

Never quite sure why people here are so quick to give up on guys like Collins. He’s adjusted to every level and done well. Ricky did a terrible job not using Collins last year as he continued to trot EE out there every game. That’s stupidity right there and likely was one of the reasons he was fired. That and having Mazara out there every game. That’s stupid

I have a feeling we’re all going to feel real shitty at the All-Star break when we could of had Joe Musgrove and instead got a fat Yogurt Sanchez plus the buy-outs for Nate Jones & Welington Castillo paid for by the Rangers.

Which starting pitcher do you sit while Musgrove starts??  Cease, Rodon and Kopek have all looked better than I thought Musgrove looked today...and none would have cost trade assets.   Lopez gives up 2 runs because of bad defense and we say he doesn't belong in the major leagues while Musgrove gives  up 3 because of bad defense and we wish he was on our team.  White Sox PTSD....this team looks really good.

Current thoughts on Collins/Mercedes/Vaughn?

How has Madrigal looked today?

And is Gore at 94-97 mph still/again?  Did Rodon throw the ball as well as his numbers would indicate?

Does anyone think they will trade Lopez instead?  Or just start him in Charlotte as insurance with a regular rotation turn? Is his fastball crisper this time out?

Lots of questions, sorry...

You couldn't trade him for anything.

Other than Katz, what are the reasons for Lopez optimism?  

With Musgrove, besides the advanced analytics, you have the motivation of any pitcher moving from the worst team in baseball to a Top 3 squad.

Buy low/sell high then.  Better to stow him away at Charlotte as insurance and see if he can somehow regain some of his lost confidence.  Odds aren’t that great, and that stadium is like pitching in Denver.  Who knows, maybe he will stare his career crossroads down and come out a better pitcher on the other side?

1)  How could they not keep Collins?   Lefty hitting catcher that looks legit as a hitter. 

2) Madrigal looked very good defensively and very slappy as a hitter.   

3) Mercedes has a great arm for eliminating the opponents running game...does seem to drop third strikes and pass balls...and looks imposing as a hitter.  I think he has an option left so have him catch full time at Charlotte and impress some other organization?   

4) Rodon looked fantastic...lots of swing and miss stuff.  Man if he can be what we thought he was going to be three years ago...lefty starter...I know, I know.

5) I like the idea of sending Lopez to Charlotte...the guy has ability if they can harness it enough...package him and Mercedes at all-Star break and you might get something for him.

MLB.tv is great.
