Logan Gilbert throwing a million pitches yet again.... And they've just missed going deep a couple of times.

Cal day off. Maybe they are starting to realize the burnout may have started. He just needs a couple days off per 10 games and maybe a couple DH days as well during that timeframe.

The last time they gave him a day off was June 8. He followed up that day off by hitting .160 with 0 HR and 1 RBI over his next 7 games. Just saying...

It's a fine line with some guys. Obviously you don't want to wear him out, but you probably don't want to mess with his mojo too much either. Personally, not a fan of the idea of a couple days off plus a couple DH days per 10 games. That's taking Cal out from behind the plate 40% of the time. Cal makes a huge difference to this team, and the pitching staff, behind the plate.

I see the great DMo is in RF tonight..... Can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I would prefer Mastrobouni instead & of course Raley, but we know these guys are obsessed with handed-ness.

I hate to say it, but I find myself hoping for a wild pitch when there's a runner on 3rd and Julio is batting, because it feels like that's our best chance to get that runner in.

The offense is a joke, yet again.

Looks like he'll get another chance
