They should sign another solid catcher this winter. 

Good luck with their 22-23 budget, but Christian Vasquez would fit.

A ton of money for two catchers and bullpen.

If they bring the band back, they don't have many holes. They need 1 SP, a 2B and I expect Colas to break camp with the team in RF, as he's destroying the Southern League. 

Depending on what they do with Abreu, they will probably continue to hide Vaughn or Eloy in LF.

Gavin Power!

We think Tony awake enough to let Banks finish this one, or he gonna burn useless reliever innings per usual?  

Does TLR have a cot in the dugout or clubhouse?

Sheets seems like the only guy on the team who hits better at home than on the road.

Way to go Gavin!!!

0-16. Having some quality outs.

Soto at home!

By the way, I can’t believe Conforto hasn’t been signed yet! Boras assured us he was fielding all kinds of calls with interest and the man is ready to produce late this season still. I’ll take my chances with Sheets for the rest of this season instead but would like to see him out of the outfield please or at least used very sparingly out there.

No he has a clot in the head.

Way too early to make that call on two or three hot weeks from Colas.

AA pitchers will make some adjustments.

Let's at least inquire on Confort...we did Boras a solid with Rodon after all.

Bet your money that Leury will be in the lineup somewhere.  He hardly ever miss two games in a row.

Cairo proxy manager tonight...like 36 holes at the golf course for TLR.

Diezman with a very successful outing.  Hahn extremely happy.

Sometimes the trades that are perceived as being the best end up actually not being all that great and the ones that are just ok or not so great end up being the best. Most thought the Kimbrel trade last year was going to create this awesome super bullpen but it ended up that Tepera was the better trade.

It's only 3 weeks but Colas is making a mockery of the Southern League at the moment. 

I think he might get a look in September.

Salvy is in one of his hot streaks

As he should. It’s not unreasonable to think he could get the callup next month. Most didn’t think he’d be up by Memorial Day 2023 but the man is destroying AA pitching and is going to get a taste of MLB very soon.

We should sign Conforto. I forgot that he’s still out there unsigned.

Eloy looks like he's really having fun tonight.  Enjoy it while it lasts.

Good. Maybe mock them like so…

”Hey Yoan, maybe take it easy on the lap dances you get after the game from your music video and your $80+ million and try hitting the ball consistently!”

”Hey Grandal, we’re you always this bad when you weren’t on PEDs?”

That’s all I have for now.

If Colas is the real deal, where would Conforto play?

It is good to see Salvy hitting late when we are ahead 9-2.  In a close game not so much.  The memo is still valid.  Don’t let Salvy beat us.

LF. Vaughn at 1B, Eloy at DH, let Abreu go. 

So anyway, when I scream about Vaughn's power I think he's never hitting 30 but is going to have a lot of seasons in the 20-29 range. As long as he's hitting .300 that's fine.

Is Tanner Banks on this team
