RIP. I was a fan of his game. He played with a lot of great players (from Rice, Boggs, Clemons, Evans, Buckner, Burks, Dawson, Baylor, Henderson, Pena, Vaughn, Reed, Barrett, Armas...).
Top FA's available.
Pete Alonso (31) <- We need a first baseman!
Bo Bichette (28)
Kyle Schwarber (33)
Cody Bellinger (30)
Eugenio Suarez (34)
Dylan Cease (30)
Kyle Tucker (29)
Trent Grisham (29)
For 5 of those 9 wins we had Yankee killer Devers in the lineup (he hit 3;homers in first 6 games). We also had Anthony for most of the 13 games. That said, our offense needs to step it up.
I thought Cora said he would not take both Hamilton and Eaton. Assuming Anthony is out because he hasn't played in a month, there are not a lot of options on offense. Pitching wise we overstocked with lefties, so I'm guessing a righty.
What's the post season roster gonna look like? 26 players (I'm guessing 13/13). 23 below seem like locks. Who are the last 3 on?
Crochet
Giolito

Sorry, but there is little to nothing on Apple-, unless you have no memory and keep watching the same 10 things over and over. First season of Ted Lasso great. 2nd season jumped the shark. The rest of what's on is pretty much the same.
What do we expect from Harrison tonight? He's never pitched against Tampa before. Will he give us 5? The 3 scoreless innings he gave us 10 days ago against the A's are tough to analyze. Hopefully he gets it done.
9 games left and we have a 1 game advantage in the loss column over Cleveland for the last wild card slot. Seattle and Houston still have 3 games against each other with the Mariners ending up with 3 games at home against the Dodgers.
At least if the game was on FOX you can get it over the air in most big cities. If on ESPN or TBS it's on a typical cable package. But Apple TV, where there is almost no additional subscription free content? Unless you get it free with an apple purchase, who is watching it?
Narvaez again with the catchers interference. What the...
Early looked really poised. 11 strikeouts tying Don Aase for most by a rookie in debut. 5 scoreless. We traded Aase away the next year to the Angels for Jerry Remy.
