Tony-OH

If ever there was a park for his home runs to start coming, it will be Bowie. Glad to see him filling out and driving the ball some. His lack of power last year was a concern, so it nice to see him add to that a bit. He's best suited for 2B, but probably needs to have utility defensive versatility.

Nice to see Basallo get of the homer snide at AA.

Man, this is a ton of talk about managerial decisions in a walk off win before an off day.

Yes, Urias would have to be that guy and then you only have McCann to come in and pitch if Tate can no longer go if you were in the 12 inning or soemthing.

I thought about that during the game, but then I thought: 1) With the 1st baseman holding Mountcastle, it opens up a big hole on the right side for the left-handed hitting Mullins. 2) Mateo only has 1 SB this year and those thing tend come in bunches because the players is getting lots of looks and has the timing down of pitchers. 3) Only two batters have run against Jeffers this year in 8 games and he's thrown out 50% 4) Mountcastle is not a slow runner when on the go

Webb hadn't pitch in awhile and prior to today, he'd been sharp. Webb had better XWOBA numbers than Tate, so I can get it though I would not have been upset if Tate was used there.

Yeah, we all know Hays is scuffling, but we also know O'Hearn doesn't hit lefties well and Hays improves the defense. It was the right move. If Hyde is not going to make that move there, Hays doesn't belong on this team.

I agree. I have zero issues with disagreeing with Hyde's bullpen management, but Coulombe was scarily off to start that next inning and Webb didn't looked warmed up right. I hope Coulombe is ok. Hyde made the right move when he took out Suarez too. He typically goes down quick near 70 pitches.

He certainly earned another start. We could not have asked for more from him.

Kimbrel is now tied for the team lead with 3 wins. The new vulture.

5 straight games with 3 or more home runs!

All I want is series wins, but I'll take a sweep any day! 4 in a row.

Hell yeah!!!

Kimbrel looks like a man against boys right now. Just dominant.

Hays does improve the defense in the outfield too, so I had no issues with him PHing.
