Hes very bothered by the heat to be fair. Just put in Lopez

But this is how he looked in Milwaukee also. Agreed though, should be a short start.

Rodon regressing was not part of the plan going into August. 

 

This is a circus 

The definition of stupid is to keep doing something that does not work. We have Collision batting 210 and hitting into a shift at least Goodwin who shouldn’t be in the Majors went into the hole for one of the first times this year. A bunt this year is almost a double but our guys with no power try to hit thru it.

whelp. have a good day fellas. I think masturbation sounds like a better use of afternoon free time than this game. 

How did you read my mind like that? Are you also considering pizza by chance?

Leury can't play defense no matter where it is 

Team has look off for about 2 weeks now

I've cut the game off, 1.5 innings in. Sad.

That's an athletic play by Sheets

Thank god Sheets is 6'5.

For all you whiners - this lineup is adding 3 guys with legit 30 HR power (some even more) + a guy on pace for 20+ homers in Hernandez.  Yeah - lets worry about the last week where the team that has been playing down half of its starting lineup finally hit a small slump.  And lets not even forget the fact that getting those bats back in the lineup will strengthen the depth of the team and make its other top players better (i.e., Anderson/Moncada/Abreu get protection/less pressure on them).  

Everyone on here really unerestimates how much talent this team will get back over next few weeks (Eloy here; Hernandez here tomorrow (not on same par as others), Robert (soon), Grandall (sooner).  

Vaughn Sighting!!!

You mean like everyone expressing concern about how many innings he was on pace to throw?  This is a big reason many wanted Kopech to get some starts.

Leury looking more like the guy I'd want to cut at this point instead of Mendick. 

Leury does nothing well.

Nobody looks good against Minor, Keller and Bubic.

Nothing guaranteed.  

Wasn't the point. But the lineup will at least give us some hope. 

 

Gave everyone else a day off, why didn't we skip Rodon?

Good lord Carlos...Nicky Lopez almost took you deep.

The bigger concern should be our sp arms getting tired considering last years low usage and past injuries.

This is the one thing I really don't understand - I don't get why they aren't giving him extended rest at this point.
