Pirates (38-50) @ Mariners (45-42) Jul 4-6, '25...(edit Sun pitcher)

I got home in the 7th and missed Cal's fireworks apparently. Watched the post game for highlights. That first homer almost left the stadium. Unreal. I said he need time off via days off and/or more DH days. It looks like that is what he is finally getting. Love Cal!

All you needed for highlights was to read my prediction above


I shoulda said book it

 

[Goldfinger 007]

But do you play left gaurd?

Don't the Hawks need everything except Left Tackle? The dude at RT can't stay healthy. They're always bad at Center & they keep shuffling in different Guards every year.

You guys don’t really block JS would have already discovered you

 

[Azvacar]

Cry Cry Cry..... We gotta block people because we get offended easily when everyone doesn't think exactly the same way ..... I can block you too. BLOCKED.

You honestly think its because Im offended.. or that you are more annoying with your takes and posts than my children? Please FFS... Get over yourself

My 6 month old is a great blocker….

Why do I want to respond very poorly to this...... but I think I know where you are going with that

 

[Chapow]

So yeah, it'll never happen because it would be perceived as humiliating to both Julio and the Mariners, but I honestly think the best thing for Julio at this point would be to get sent down to Tacoma for awhile.

 

[Goldfinger 007]

I blocked some guys a couple times but I always unblock em right away cause I gotta control me not them. And Julio struck out…. he’s about to get blocked daymit

Foolio striking out & failing AGAIN is making some butt hurt guys on this forum (guys who block) lose their minds as they continue to cheer his praises despite the fact they know he's average at best & they fell for the organizational " in the tailpipe"

Uh... thats not possible right? He's already accumulated too much time for that to happen

He has more than two years service time.. only eligible for arb

They can at least move him down in the order first. Just try to get through to him to find a new approach

 

[Crizilla]

Idk about sending him down. He needs to see more big league fast balls so he can practice. That last at bat was a great at bat just missed the meat pitch. Dude isn't even fouling off a lot of stuff. He should be moved down the line up for sure but it's not gonna happen.
They need to trade for another bat too but it's not gonna happen.

Still dont think they could do it even if it would benefit him

So what takes are WRONG?

 

[Azvacar]

Yeah looked around.. hes considered a "Super Two".. so can't be relegated without hinder, and Im guessing his massive contract has provisions heh

 

[Chapow]

They wouldn't do it anyway even if it was an option.

 

[Sperrydogg]

Not send him down, move him down in the batting order.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yet again, Castillo was $.
He's given up ONE RUN total in his last 2 starts. A select few act like he should be released

The Rock has a 3.31 ERA. Not sure how anyone could want him gone.

 

[Chapow]

I hope they do move him down in the order, but I doubt they will. That would basically amount to publicly acknowledging that he's struggling and that something needs to change. I think they'd rather pretend everything is fine.

 

[Stanton Sucks]

I would move him down...to say Atlanta for Acuna or Miami for a load?
