I love our pitching roster.

I'd still like to see a trade for some quality bats soon. There's so much potential for this team but they also feel flawed at times with the inconsistent hitting where they have the odd game that they get absolutely shut down.

 

[Crizilla]

Low risk signing I guess. Locklear should be called up soon he's tearing it up in AA/AAA.

 

[NoGain]

I love how they say "former top prospect" right at the top as if we should really stand up and take notice. LOL.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Garver should have been sent down or released weeks ago. Brings nothing to the table.

The Nationals are one of my local teams, Robles had high expectations he had a decent year in 2019 but hasn’t done much since then. I wouldn’t expect more than a good defensive replacement at the end of a game

OF defense isn't really a problem for us. Assuming he has minor league options left?

 

[Crizilla]

I don't really get the move but hope I'm wrong. Stanton said theyre open in trade market. TOR says they aren't trading vlad or buchette.

I think you bat Raley second. If he wasn't robbed of a homer that's 3 straight games with a homer only Julio is capable of that. Gotta have these guys in the top half of line up. Julio seems more comfy in the 3 spot than 2.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

He could be any worse than Garver.

I think the risk is if he went back to Texas and started hitting again

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Willing to take that risk. He has been useless.

Can't disagree. I do think they give everyone a few weeks to reassess after the OC got fired. Maybe the approach changes.

Let's just keep winning series after series. Need to pile up as many wins as possible. Texas still has some guys coming back. They are the champs. I'm not counting them out one bit.

I agree. Gotta win EVERY game given the chances. It could make a difference in the the end. (ie. 1 game short of Wild Card)

A's were dumb to swing so much in the 9th our BP did not have it today. Phew

 

[raisethe3]

That was too close for my liking. But a win is a win. I'll take it.

 

[Chapow]

Glad they were able to hold on, but the bullpen is becoming a concern. Nearly every guy out there, outside of Munoz, is looking kinda sketchy lately.
