Shoulda DFA'd Lackey.

I want to go to a museum with CEJ.

Yes yes yes. Just plug him in the bullpen this year if he's still struggling, with an eye at the 2018 rotation (a la Montgomery last year). He's worthy of Bosio's time, unlike Butler.

Gators are trotting out a Frosh reliever tonight. This series is going to 3 and Lange will get to be abused one last time. Awesome. Today, Dyson looks like a 2019 first rounder. Florida's pitching depth is crazy if they've got this kid in the bullpen.

I fail to see why the Giants would be interested in trading him.

Went from the tenseness of that bottom of the 8th to horsefeathers the closer really quickly. Thanks, Nationals' bullpen and defense!

Jose Albertos starting for the AZL Cubs.

Davis would've had to hit, or TLS would've had to come in to play defense. Maddon really should've left Zagunis in. My problem was pulling Uehara for Duensing. It is nice to see Grimm has earned that much trust.

Should've left Uehara and his reverse splits in. Just bring in Wade, you ass.

Duensing channeling his inner Pedro Baez here.

Would rather have Uehara still in here.

How does a big league umpire miss that call? Yeesh.

Martarano adds a double. He's hitting .467 on the short season.

Alfredo Colorado gets the start for the AZL Cubs.
