Quick guess.......Chavez just broke a toe when he hit his shoes in between at bats.

Was thinking the exact same thing. Then started thinking about BRob. Then started wondering why these guys insist on striking themselves with the bat, no matter what body part theyre bashing.

Sorry they don't deserve to win. So far Jake does. Too bad he can't bat, it's the only way we score any more runs.

This is why it's called a TEAM game, and why they say PITCHING WINS GAMES. We don't deserve to win this game? Did the Yankees deserve to win game 1? They stranded bases loaded and no outs.

Listen, I feel the frustration, but saying we don't deserve to win is bs, they get paid to get us out too. But if we win, it'll be because of picting, and we'll deserve it. Good teams win when they aren't hitting- and it's because of pitching...

Chavez's side or back tightened up. They replaced him with Nunez who was evidently still at the team hotel. Maybe not, but he did take his sweet time.

Looked to me like he was about to get sick , putting his fist over his mouth. dont know why hed need help off the field though.

Yanks will get a run here, guaranteed. This will be Jake's choke inning

I'm sorry... but comments like this frustrate me so much in the game threads. I certainly understand what 14 losing seasons can do to optimism, but for crying out loud. Go start a separate thread for dark cloud Eeyore posts.

      Soto has been fine since his first couple appearances and appears to be picking up steam. That makes seven. Problem is Cano has been the most reliable and all of a sudden looked terrible twice in a row. Hopefully he can get in one decent appearance in the final series.

      So It's 13 pitchers for the Wild card round? What position player are you dropping?

      There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!

      While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.

      I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.

      Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.
