Kinda funny that Castillo sucked so much today, we needed to piggyback his start.

Nice inning. Exactly what was needed.

Getz didn’t want to trade any of the top prospects

Which makes it especially tough with how top-heavy our system is. We’re not deep enough where you can trade away our #8-9 prospect + lottery tickets for anyone worth a s%*#.

I feel a momentum swing

Schweizer making up for the circus of suck that was Castillos start

Is that bad? The only I’d be okay with giving up is Carlson and if the deal wasn’t there it wasn’t there.

I think that’s the problem. Their system has really struggled this year outside of Bonemer.

Ugg guys - two pitches… two outs.

Hopefully this past draft will raise the floor of the system.

Is it crazy?

This board flipped the f*** out about trading away a AA catcher with no clear future in the org. It would’ve been Armageddon here if he’d dealt any decent assets for a SP. Getz kept the farm fully intact and picked up an arm that, for all intents and purposes, cost a shitty RP and a farmhand.

It’s not about this year. Never was about this year.

The guy leads the entire minors in OPS, and he isn't even old for his level. Mason Adams looks ready to be a backend starter, and they gave up a DSL lottery ticket too. The problem with the trades have always been that Getz acquired fucking awful players. Nobody would have an issue if Getz got players that weren't garbage.

Is Doyle even a more productive player than Mason Adams at this point? Lord knows we could use a starting pitcher to eat innings.

Yah, I still dont get how Doyle is preferable to Pereia

100%. We need Mason Adams more than Doyle.

Gotta love how Castillo pitching was like pulling teeth and this guy is ending it quickly

Ouch

Benge got that run back from his fielding miscue.

Benge gets his revenge and should get one in the ribs during his next AB
