Norby AND Stowers fornTrevor Rogers seems like a lot. Maybe I'm wrong and quite frankly I'll trust Elias and company over my own evals. Hopefully this sends Povich to Norfolk, he just isn’t ready yet.
His last 2 months have been good, just had a beyond disaster May Price does seem high but it’s also 2 guys that are completely blocked for a lefty with team control
I wanted more from this deadline. I guess it’s nice we didn’t ship out the top prospects, but I feel like we aren’t really any better than last week. I don’t know anything about the marlins guy. I assume he’s better than any of our current options in the 5 spot.
I think Elias did what he could without giving up too much. I question the Rogers move but if we can get him to pitch how he has in the past it’ll be a great move. gotta see what we gave up for Jimenez but a 27 year old previous silver slugger at the right deal could be a plus add as well.
Just throwing shit at the wall the last hour trying anything Idc, all we gave up was a 25 year old at AA who walks way too many guys(seems to be a major theme in our system) Rogers makes a ton of sense if he stays on current trajectory and we lost what exactly, trade chips for later deals? Neither was gonna make it
Sucks about Westburg but hopefully makes Holliday more relaxed. Mayo isn’t getting called up over ROY incentives I assume, Cowser is now odds-on favorite for it this year
Weren’t winning regardless but that dude was ridiculous, Holliday strikeout was absurd Coby Mayo time lfg
I’m honestly sick of Mountcastle, decent fielder but swings at everything and absolutely useless vs righties
Jackson looks a million x better McCann should just shake his head at him for pulling up at first thinking the catcher may hit him
Pulled a reliever who has been good for a guy that has been a disaster(then refused to pull him) then pulled our 2 hottest hitters vs a reliever who’s better vs righties. 1 of those PHers a rookie straight up out of his depth so far Utter nonsense
We’re holding things together with duct tape at this point. Kjerstad on the 10 day IL for concussion, Rodriguez to the IL for his lat issues. Month of August is pretty brutal too compared to September.
Eflin and Roger’s and Kremmer need to get deep into their starts. The bullpen stinks outside of the late inning guys. Really hope Rodriguez isn’t out long.
They said mild strain a few days ago so hopefully it's that. Today was the most sound they've played in a long time, great pitching and fielding and at bats and just crisp. Had a lot of hard hit balls go right to Rays but did get kinda lucky with that Gunnar 3-2 count but very good performance. It's wild that we're the 2nd best team of the top 5 since June, everyone is struggling a bit.
Good shit Ramon, we nearly blew a game we should win 9/10 times Cowser keeps improving and Adley possibly bouncing out of his funk, cool.
Hyde had a terrible poker face but never seen him so visibly upset as he was with Soto tonight, The guy is a danger to batters with his complete lack of control
1 of those losses I can't be mad about You absolutely cannot pick up Kimbrel's option next year and he may possibly be finished altogether at this point. Burnes will never pitch that bad again, I doubt he's gonna want one of his bobbleheads. Maybe to destroy it into a million pieces.
a couple bad pitches to good hitters. It was bad but not 8 runs in 4 innings typically bad, Red Sox hit well. Didn't really get away with any mistake. This is what you get in the playoffs though so yeah, needs to improve.
Kimbrel did have a ridiculous bad call go against him because McCann dropped it but his margins are so small with his control whatever, just get to October and we'll see what happens. This is not a defense of Kimbrel at all
Povich was very good at least, Cano just threw a very shitty 2-2 pitch with runners on 2nd and 3rd. Wake up bats
People say I’m a negative person some times which I don’t really think so wanna give praise to big Al; epic shit he’s doing recently
Tied for division lead again. When is Danny C coming back? Bullpen is awful right now. Debating going to the game at citi field tmrw. Caught 3 games in Baltimore a couple weeks ago. Love it.
Rogers is pitching so idk, maybe he quits sucking. Gave up homer today but Dominguez has been solid, that was a tough 4 outs today They seem confident Columbe and Grayson will be back in September, Westburg not so much
I’m not having fun that pitcher with terrible stats was kinda filthy but swung at a bunch of bullshit too
I’m definitely nervous. Long way to go but only 2.5 games up on wildcard. We can’t seem to pitch well and hit in the same game.
