Might be appropriate to give Enoli another look in middle relief at some point relatively soon.

22 K’s in 16 IP thus far, with a 0.56 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP is pretty damn salty.

I know his nerves/mental issues immediately became evident once the fans returned to ballparks, but I don’t think he should be permanently condemned.

If I was GM of a shitty team I would be all about trying to “buy low” on him via trade and rolling the dice knowing upside potential is massive.

EDIT: Dug deeper and he’s still at 5.5 BB/9 so far this season…dammit Enoli

33 games in 34 days was brutal, hopefully we end it with two W's

Radio broadcast really slips when sparky is on vacation 

Who was that guy with Ford? Ver solid, professional, checked all the boxes in theory, but boring AF.

[Planet Houston 4943]

All my usual apps (MLB, the Score, ESPN, Fantasy) say Plesac

If he ever does a game with Sparky, he's definitely getting referred to as Dirty.

I thought it was Kevin Eschenfelder. But I agree. I think Ford is great, but the broadcast takes a hit when Sparky is out. Still better than Mike Stanton though.

Actually I think you are correct.  It was Esch....Dirty Sanchez was just in the building and stopped by the booth.  Thought he got the call up for a minute

I went to high school with that dude. We had a little morning news program in our high school that we produced and broadcast closed circuit. It was pretty cool. Gerald and Ernie Zuniga, now one of the anchors on the Fox affiliate in San Antonio, really got started there.

[WBT 20750]

It's hard to believe that Esch has hung around so long while being so boring

Let’s get it, finish these 33 games with two W’s

Bregman has been spending lot of time in the video room and batting cage. Feels he’s close

i'm playing against him in fantasy this week.  i played tucker when he was ice cold and then he found it in a big way.  we're good.

[WBT 20750]

Anyone else going to see Facing Nolan tonight?  I'd probably rather watch the game and wait for it to hit streaming but my dad wanted to go.

Fucking around with Ramirez will get you hurt . Just staph

[rvm96 1643]

Ramirez should steal Bregmans celebration for a HR

[Gut Wagon 8119]

Can't say I've ever seen a guy foul off that many 2-strike pitches before jacking one. Quite an AB. 

[TonyTexas 10571]

That was some AB  BY JRam

Strange outing so far from Framber. 7 batters faced,  1 hit,  0 BB,  43 pitches, 32 of which were strikes 

[Scraps 13598]

Yall want to move Bregman down....might as well move Tucker to 8 hole in home games jesus

If Scraps is triple posting now, it going to be hard for us to get a word in.
