Can you see this teaming even getting to .500 with this balanced schedule?  I have a hard time seeing them get there.

No way... pitching staff will break down. 

I wish Robert had an ounce of plate discipline too, but some of the conversations we go through when he struggles are ridiculous.

I can see them being around where they are now all season.  In site but not realistically close. 

Nobody wants to get a big hit with risp on the Sox 

Santos hitting 100

500? You're talking 500? I just hope we can win a fucking game.

Robert really seems disinterested.

Another solid defensive play by Jake

Burger looking good at the hot corner.

103 from Santos lmao

Guardians/Indians let go of both Diaz and Harold Ramirez... not to mention Francisco Mejia.

So, uh... there might be something here with Santos

Santos for Closer. 

Francisco Liriano-esque slider there. 

Good to see Grifol saving Cease for October. 

Santos nice inning

I think his problem is recognizing spin. That’s not really something that can be taught. 

Agreed but that's not really observable either. We don't know if he's fooled or just not seeing it. He's had some stretches where he looks like he has no issues. Imo he just takes a while to adjust back.

I think so, Just too bad we don't have a pitching coach who could refine him and not waste his talent.

For which team?

Real nice job Middleton and Santos.

Now runs !

Santos on the season now: 2.45 ERA 9.82 K/9 2.45 BB/9 56.3% GB

guys with nasty stuff like this go from AAA/waiver wire fodder to quality relief arms every year. maybe that's what's happening here.

 

I’m guessing Diaz has a heat exhaustion problem, not hydrating enough? I’ve experienced it while playing golf in the hot Florida summers, not fun.

I know this year has been frustrating, but it's not difficult at all finding examples of Katz doing exactly that

Hope he is ok something went wrong
