  1. I'm a little surprised by this as a replacement for Lopez. I thought maybe Happ was hurt or something. In a DH world, it's easy to never use the last bench guy. This feels like a reaction to the losing streak while still not really having a spot for him.
  2. How has Marquee still not figured out how to keep the challenges up all game
  3. Props to Brett for getting paid, but it's a little unfortunate now opening that site and reading batting order takes based on batting avg w RISP thru 45 games
  4. I can't believe the offense was able to overcome a full series AND a half of struggles
  5. Even if we do get swept, if this series ends with Albies not getting a hit, I'll never be more convinced this is our year.
  6. I still think he'd get eaten alive with consistent MLB ABs against RHP. With the contact issues and no more options after this year, I also doubt his trade value is all that high anyway so I'm penciling him in as a useful 4th outfielder next season.
  7. Yeah I think the look back was the key, not necessarily taking too long. Well Martin being terrible made this win way more fun
  8. I mean not having Palencia or Brown available is why he tried to push it with Rea an extra inning, no?
  9. lol Conforto is fully back and there's no spot for him to play
  10. I'll admit to thinking Hayes would turn back into something resembling a decent hitter playing in Cincinnati. YIKES
  11. Heck of a time for what seems like Webb's only 2 quality innings of the season.
  12. 104 off the bat at 25 degrees to left center somehow for an out
  13. Wait, this guy throws 98? I'm intrigued. Topped out at 98.9??
  14. Him leaving (the clubhouse is thru the LF wall), and without a trainer is odd. Maybe ill, or is Breslow still in the mood for big changes?
  15. Down 4 vs tie game is not the same. That said, I'm very open to a "showing confidence in Pete" argument for a game in April. But we also actually have a good bench now.
  16. That's not an AB Pete should've been allowed to take. Even if matchups later require Suzuki or Conforto in CF, gotta chase runs here
  17. That was a baserunning clinic by Miguel Amaya of all people
  18. Joe Davis is quite good but oh my god can Smoltz please just shut up
  19. I love Seiya. I'll be a little sad if he leaves. He goes through his stretches and his all around game can be iffy at times but he's such a damm good hitter
