[Wulaw Horn 19073]

I mean, this is what he is. He’s a league average pitcher. He will get bombed sometimes. He will dominate sometimes. He will be mediocre sometimes. In more or less equal parts.  I always hated this signing and said we never needed to spend this much money on league average pitching, but he’s not a dfa candidate or anything. Let him have a couple good starts and then flip him to a fringe wild card contender for a couple lotto tickets and call it a day.

Fuck sending Jake down, just DFA him. He's just taking up a roster spot. 

You are more impatient than a kid in line at Disneyland

Hope you and Wulaw are right. If I'm a GM for another team, I would have to be convinced to trade a case of baseballs for him. 

[rvm96 1643]

It's almost like having a better than league average ERA has value.

[tx 3 putt 76980]

this shit sucks

[cabowabo 4487]

Go get him Dusty.

Should I still be patient? 

[Scraps 13561]

There is no reason to go get him. Gotta use up his pitches at this point

[perfectchaos007 6653]

Bad Odorizzi is way more common than good Odorizzi

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that was deep 

[UTEX_ME 4762]

Ax 6 man rotation today and never bring it back 

[Wulaw Horn 19073]

Look, I want him fired into the face for the sun, but we are up 13.5 games in the division, 6 man rotation keeps innings off guys, and his ERA is basically dead on league average.

Or at least until LMJ is healthy.

[runthebone 7989]

He's just coming back from a layoff, so whatever.  Hope he pitches well enough the next couple of weeks that we can trade him for something.

[Wulaw Horn 19073]

We weren’t going to win if we don’t get a base runner though…

[Hammerin Hank 1227]

It’s not going to matter how well or poorly we pitch if the bats don’t wake up 

[Wulaw Horn 19073]

Fucker needs to put down the shovel and stop digging. 

[tx 3 putt 76980]

we have a hit !!!!!!!!!!

[Hammerin Hank 1227]

Hey, a base runner! Let’s get a few more 

[runthebone 7989]

Heasley, you pussy.  Challenge Yordan like a man.

[tx 3 putt 76980]

Come on bregs 

[tx 3 putt 76980]

Odo is done for today 

[Scraps 13561]

Get Dubon home....chip away

[Scraps 13561]

There we go.

Pena go ahead and hit a 2 run jack real quick

[Harrison Stafford 3335]

I like Odorizzi………as a reliever……….maybe.

[Scraps 13561]

LFG....get him home

[Scraps 13561]

Nice dubon

[Scraps 13561]

Odorizzi and Maton the dynamic duo

[Scraps 13561]

Pena is gonna have more errors than Correa did in the past 4 season combined

[Scraps 13561]

Yordan lets gooooo!!!

[Scraps 13561]

KC wants to lose....LFG

[Scraps 13561]

Tucker!

[Macklemore 2872]

Kyle motherfucking Tucker!!

[cabowabo 4487]

Should be bunting here. 

[Scraps 13561]

The yuli!!

[cabowabo 4487]

Dude looked like he’s never laid down a bunt, and I’ll bet he hasn’t. 

[billfromlaketravis 11488]

A bunt is a little cute in this situation. 

[Scraps 13561]

Gotta pinch hit for Lee

Carlos had 13 errors in 97 games his rookie year btw 

[perfectchaos007 6653]

So Diaz will be our catcher in the 9th?

Yeah- steadiness should come later.  ‘Los also had a lot more of an arm that was a weapon. I’ve not been disappointed in Peña’s D by any means, but it’s a step down from where CC was. 

[Scraps 13561]

Well Lee could have done that

Good comeback....lets walk it off 2 days in a row

[rvm96 1643]

Carlos also had 11 errors in 2021. On another note how's the you have to sacrifice bunt crowd doing?

Sounds like Kalas was told by somebody to stop mispronouncing Ryne

[rvm96 1643]

[Scraps 13561]

Man thats impressive by Machete/Pena to get Witt....he is pretty boss....but not when Machete throwing
