Narvaez is the #1 catcher on both sides of the ball.  Making me forget the name of that other guy 

The other guy is the Wong catcher

In a season of disappointments, so far, he's been a pleasant surprise.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Rafaela reminds me so much of Paul Blair. Not great at the plate, but an amazing defensive CF.

[FredLynn]

This one is about to be over 

[TheSplinteredSplendor]

Heads up play by baez to get in the way of bregman's line of sight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A high slider. Is that an oxymoron?

[vegasbob]

Bello has walked the leadoff man in 2 innings ( 1st/3rd).  Both scored.   Hint to Bello, come out throwing strikes, like if only you could, you would, but you can't.

Not sure why the U's won't call that interference . The runner was out of the baseline and blocked Bregman from catching the  throw.   Baez who would have been picked off, scored.

And Narvaez acquires an unfair error.

Similar to what Reggie did years ago and Reggie was called out.

Stupid Bello,  should have walked the leadoff man.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That stunt pulled by Baez at 3rd deserves getting plunked by Bello, but that doesn't happen much anymore.

The results are the same.

Anyone ever attended one of these "day at the bark"?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's bring your dog to the ballpark. Good night to wear your Scooby Doo costume and get in for free.

[FredLynn]

About time for Duran to do something 

[FredLynn]

Like that

“Anyone” seems to mean you or me tonight 

[FredLynn]

Shoulda sent Duran 

Always send Duran

[TheSplinteredSplendor]

Smart play by greene to fool the runner.

You're confusing me with Splintered Splendor.

Vegas is also here causing trouble.

I don’t like Campbell not hustling down the line there. Roomies should always be hustling

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, call me Abreu.

[vegasbob]

It wouldn't hurt for Campbell to spend some time in Worcester relearning how to be a hitter and play an infield position with some smarts.

He gives all the impression this month of being the rookie he is, and in over his head

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I still maintain that Bello is a good #5.

[FredLynn]

Up to our pen to blow this game

As noted above, i see some issues developing with Campbell.  Not running hard has also been notable in recent games.   His ground ball rate is above  MLB average and climbing tonight

I agree. Send him to Woo and have him get acquainted with playing 1st base.
