Norby and Povich?

I'm sorry for not knowing this, but what's up with Soto?

I've hit this in the game threads, but it seems to me like every starter has this issue almost every game where they just lose command. Last night, Bradish recovered nicely, but it took him 2 innings to do it. I realize this is a common thing with ANY pitcher, but it seems to happen EVERY game with our starters.

Totally agree with all of this. I still think we need a bat, a Reliever, and a starter.

He's gonna groove one to Schwarber.

Yup...our pitchers just seem to lose command every freaking game.

Why do these national guys even ask about trading Holliday?

And...a 4 pitch walk after your team gets you the lead.

Not a fan. I don't want to lose Ortiz for 2 months of Giolito. Kelly has been pretty inconsistent this season.

Phew! Finally get a big hit!

Seems like Urias grounds into a double play every time he plays.

I believe Westburg would be the backup to Mateo for tonight's game.

Fixed that for you...

I'm OK with this lineup. I just wish they'd start hitting with men on base. Seems like everyone might be trying a little too hard right now.

Not saying I'd want this to happen, but what if they are putting him at 3rd to deal him now? If he looks competent at 3rd, it will increase his trade value.

This. Hader would fit the bill.

Yes...this is the BIG concern.

Well...you gotta give it to Philly. They kept the game close thanks to the inept offense and took adavantage of the mistakes at the end.

OK...who wrote this?

Well...it was a nice lead while it lasted...

Typical start from any of our pitchers...one inning where they lose command and fall behind every hitter.

B+ from me. I think they did pretty well, picking a lot of athletes and pitching. I'm anxious to see these guys get started.

Great news...would love to hear the final terms.

Can't disagree about this. If he said he'd sign for 2M, they offer it and he backs out, that's on him and his rep.

If Baumeister has the great stuff that is reported, I'd much rather have him at 2.1 than Ritchie at any price.
