Meh move but I'm not sure why unless jones is ready to contribute now in the MLB, our Bullpen might be used heavy this month the way the starters are pitching their 1st time through the rotation, going to need all the relief arms we can get.

Best of luck to Luis. He seems like a good guy.

Yeah, As I have often stated, I think Ayala needs a clean inning and that our bullpen is not built to use him in that role.

I was concerned that his hangover and dehydration might keep a trade from occurring. Glad it did not.

They have been trying to get rid of him since Spring. I think Hunter will have a good rest of the year. Adair ,the hated is working on him keeping the ball down.

I also believe Freddy Garcia would fill Luis' spot if necessary at least as well.

      Austin Hays 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I tend to agree that Hays should get the at bats over McKenna because he has better instincts and because Hays the track record of being a solid everyday player. That being said, he has truly been a below replacement level player for half a season with no signs of improvement this year. (He did have a good 90 PA stretch in August/sept of last year though) For me, Hays should get the at bats and McKenna should play a small role. I would send down HK because they are foolishly not playing him enough. That said, if Hays continues to be a liability for another 100-200 at bats, a real discussion has to occur on what to do with him and if he is relegated to a 4th/5th OFer role, I do think there’s a conversation to be had about who is better suited for that role..McKenna or Hays. But a lot of things need to happen before that discussion can really be had. I personally believe Hays will be fine and with Cowser now established, Hays won’t be playing everyday, which he never should have been doing in the first place.  That may help him a lot.

      We agree to disagree my friend. Not sure about the following orders comment. That’s a bit strange but all good my friend. Miller is a special player for sure. That we can both agree on, alright?

      The Worst Experience I’ve Ever Had at a Game the O’s Won (By Far)

      Really sorry to hear about that Frobby.  Especially the lost calls and voicemails.  When my Grandmother passed (who was like a second mother to me)... for a few weeks I called her cell phone and would talk to her voice mail.. it was somewhat soothing to me for whatever reason.  I got to briefly hear her voice and say things to what felt like her at the time of grieving.  After a month or so, they turned off the phone.  I then later found out she never knew how to get into her voicemail anyways haha. But yeah, I've been to Nats stadium 2 times and honestly, can't stand it.  There's isnt much to like about it and even metro is a disaster getting to and from at times.  I went to a Cubs game at Wrigley this past weekend and loved it and it wasn't even my team.  I can't imagine I'll be going to anymore games at Nats park.

      I wish it would end because I'm tired of hearing about it. This team is good enough for it to go on a lot longer, too, so that makes it even worse.   Those are your words. Apologies for ribbing you a bit over the thing that you actually said.

      First of all, I am not advocating (nor have I ever advocated) for a “Miller or bust approach”. Yet, I do recognize his special ability and I can envision him being a tremendous asset to this team. Second, to say Coloumbe has similar production as Miller is simply not true. Look at the WHIP, strikeouts per 9, ERA, hard contact, etc. They are not in the same class.  I’m not sure if you unintentionally devaluing Mullers K number, but they are astounding 2/3 of his outs are coming on K’s. That is an absolute gold mine of an asset when you get to extra innings with the ghost runner. Next, I can envision a tremendous competitive advantage that we would have next season or in future seasons when we would be able to pair Bautista and Miller. That is worth considering parting with one of our better but replaceable prospects. Last, I have never “clamored for him and him alone”. And as  far as your directive to turn my attention elsewhere, I’m probably not the best poster when it comes to following orders/commands…lol
