Great AB Reese lol…

We might be playing him a bit too much. Once all the night games come back Grandal should be catching 70% of the games.

His defense alone is worth 5X as much as Collins to this team.

Vaughn with the double against the righty and wiped out by tough lefty. Nobody can hit this guy so far, though.

Garcia could hit that ball

How did Kopech look today? Tuning in late.

A bit iffy control to start, but he dominated his last 3 innings. 

Please pitch Graveman in the 8th

i like tim

Tim has something to say about that

Is Cash gonna allow Springs to face Robert and Abreu?

Lefty to LuBob, this could be fun

Well, until former batting champ TA7...need another hit out of La Pantera.

Good day for Tim

I agree with this for what it’s worth. He calls a good game. Wouldn’t have minded him working the count a bit more - but I understand we aren’t playing him for his offense

Harrison and Anderson didn't help him out much in that first inning.

Off speed stuff much more effective, more curves and his velocity increased to 97 touching 98 as the game went on.  Didn't look to be under any duress...calm and poised as a cucumber with a man bun can possibly be.

It's early but it's easy to believe we'll be looking back at that trade and calling it the key to the season.

He just needs a 625-650 OPS and that won't be hard if you look at the back of his baseball card.

Graveman unavailable apparently.

Then don't you leave Luiz out there?

I get not wanting to pitch Graveman 4 times in 5 days, but man, this team needs another high leverage lefty

Changes of scenery can often work wonders.  Matt Thornton and Jenks immediately come to mind...kind of like a career reset.

More likely just that TB has lefty-switch-lefty up this inning.

3 consecutive lefties due up this inning is part of it, I'm sure

How many teams go two deep with Top Ten caliber lefties?  I suppose we could have attempted to entice Andrew Miller out of retirement...

Way to hold onto that Reese

Not sure I like Wander against Sousa
