Il BuonO

I’ll watch Means tomorrow, but four games vs the Rays? It could be 15 in a row by Thursday.

Really Abad.

Mateo has a seven game hitting streak!!!

I was excited to watch this game just because Franco and Severino weren’t starting.

Woo hoo! You mean if I stick around I’ll get to watch Fernando pitch A-bad. See? Reduced to childish puns.

Yup, 16 year old kid from the DR with future 40’s across the board would work for me. That might be greedy.

Fry just needs to use the ST, rules be damned. Then, I can get some relief knowing he’s suspended and can’t pitch.

Fry is worth a guy who moves the needle? I hear they always need balls for BP.

Sure am glad they held onto Fry at the deadline.

Poor play by Mullins.

So, this is the end of July/early August Harvey. Looks like May/June Harvey is back.

Nice play by Harvey.

You’re leaving out the fact that he had a TUE for adderall. He didn’t fail for anabolic steroids and MLB had a confusing policy. Beyond that weakness in the policy is that the JDA classifies stimulants as a separate category apart from "Performance Enhancing Substances," a definition it limits to anabolic androgenic steroids and agents (including hormones) with anti-estrogenic activity. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.si.com/.amp/mlb/2014/09/12/chris-davis-suspension-orioles-adderall-mlb-drug-policy That said, I was miffed he wasn’t diligent in having it renewed and missed the playoffs. Also, a few of y’all in this thread are forgetting the ST just last year when he said he was focusing more on lifting and came into camp noticeably bigger than the three previous seasons. Yes, it was only ST, but the board was buzzing with a “what if” attitude if he could continue into season the way he had looked last spring before play was halted.

Your prediction is hopefully in jeopardy. Thaaaa D-backs win, the D-backs win!!! I know, not the same ring to it, but hoping for a number one pick seems more within reach than watching this team play any meaningful baseball.

Yes, so, much more valuable. In any case, my snark was only to say on this team no reason to rush anyone who may have some value.

Knee and he’s technically a one year rental. Zimmerman is a guy who could be a number five starter. Exciting right?

Then, at best, it’s flawed logic.

Too good? Don’t want a player impacting them positively when the goal is so close. I’m only half joking.

They’re saving Wells and Scott for tomorrow when it’s a more competitive game with Akins pitching. ?

Idk, not a lot of vision to demote Valaika and then allow CD to retire without thinking about who is going to eat innings in the blowouts.

I don’t disagree, but at least he doesn’t try to be interesting or funny by telling stories about LOTR or if relish will win the condiment race.

Someone else who can’t pitch.

Yup, won’t shed a tear when he’s gone. He’s tried that a few times now, like JP says,” You have a glove, use it.”

What was the injury and how long has he been playing through it? Not excusing his performance because of that for the entire season, but it’s clear to me that Santander wasn’t himself because of injury for most of the season either.

Eh, Ohtani?
