Rafaela really isn’t very good. By the end of the year everyone will see it. He strikes out on a ball two feet outside 

A lot of players do these days. He’s hitting circles around Duran and most of the team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's truly rare when a 21 year old is the best hitter on a major league team.

[Tedballgame]

Very nice start by Walker!

He is actually very talented and he will only improve as a hitter. He may very well be the best center fielder in baseball and he has ability to play multiple positions. That’s a pretty valuable young player. He’s also signed to a very reasonable contract.

[Tedballgame]

Unfortunately, Navarez is wearing down offensively, but his defense is still excellent and obviously, there is no backup catcher that can hit at all.

He could have his B game and it may not matter with Buehler on the bump. 

I apologize for the Buehler slander.

I was told he wouldn’t wear down and not to worry about it.

[FredLynn]

I’d never throw Rafaela a strike. There’s no need.

Meanwhile Boohler did the job tonight. Surprisingly.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Buehler with a very good start tonight. Since the ASB, the starting pitching has not been the problem.

[Tedballgame]

Now the ump feels he has to expand the zone.

[Duran Is The Man]

nice job by Buehler. 

[FredLynn]

Put Harper on here

[FredLynn]

Chapman has been outstanding this year. I’d be tempted to trade him if we can get a very good return.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

CHAP is the MAN.

Why would you want to trade the best closer in the AL? Nevermind.

Because I think we could get an excellent return for him. He won’t be better next year. And others could close.

[FredLynn]

Refsnyder Ks on a ball in the dirt. 

[FredLynn]

Casellanos should join the Flops. He Ks on a ball a foot outside 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Whitlock has been lights out of late.

that's nuts. they need to re-sign him for next season. you trade him and don't re-sign him, you'll be looking for a closer next year.

Trade Duran and re-sign Chapman.

[FredLynn]

Anthony joins the bum parade by striking out on a ball that was eye level then another one in the dirt.

Game over.

Trade both. This team is going nowhere. Even if the squeak into the playoffs they’ll be quickly eliminated.

Little league ball

Outta here

[Deja Doh]

Can't see Hicks getting out of this mess.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hicks and Wong would make a good battery.
