Pearce hit it hard, right at someone. Jones still hitless since yelling "can't beat me". Offense needs to do something today. 1 run in last 21 innings. 1st inning looked a lot like the last 2 games. Need KG and the O to step it up!

I actually thought that inning was promising. They got a couple fly balls and Salazar doesn't look terribly sharp

He is a pronounced fly ball pitcher but our offense doesn't exactly inspire confidence right now. Could easily change but they have made 24 outs while getting 1 single since Joseph's double in the 3rd yesterday. Need a big day from our big guys.

Another no name pitcher gonna own us. That first inning was awful.

Salazar a no-name pitcher? He's one of the Indians' top young pitchers, and even started the Wild Card game for them last year. Not having a good year this year, but he's got a ton of potential.

    • Gray has a full no trade, and has expressed his desire to stay in St Louis. It's doubtful that he's going to be traded.   Edited to say that I see you mentioned the same thing in a later post.
    • The standard before was just Eduardo Rodriguez, Daniel Cabrera, Luis Matos, Sidney Ponson, and Schoop, for like 50 years. 🤣. Koby Perez is doing alright.  Also, I count Felix Bautista as an Oriole DSL signing. It doesn’t matter to me that he originally signed with another team and played a bit. 
    • I'd feel a lot better about him if he had a strong 2nd half like Snell did, after suffering early from the weird late contract thing. Unfortunately, JM's halves were pretty similar.  That said, his 2024 does present as a pretty clear aberration when looking at his career. So it will be up to scouting and data analysis to determine if there's a bounceback in him. Seems like an expensive dice roll to me. 
    • Yet another reason why baseball has to get rid of deferred contracts and have a salary cap. Ohtani’s contract was bad for everybody but the Dodgers and Ohtani. It’s bad for California, our country, and let’s be frank here: bad for the sport.
    • I know everyone from the Diamondbacks is doing their best not to distress their asset any further, but Passan's piece this morning digesting the GM Meetings is I think the first big-time reporter reporting he is on the block with ARZ paying some of his too high salary down. He is a Rohrschach as the 2024 was genuinely atrocious.    I'm inclined to give him a grace as overexertion in October 2023 plus the weird contract scenario was I think a bridge too far.    He was one of my favorites at the July 2023 deadline that became Flaherty, and I think it screams Elias target that he'll be on a 1-year term in 2025. Jordan Montgomery, left-handed starter: The Diamondbacks want to move him and will eat some of his $22.5 million salary to do so. He's near the top of the list of players likeliest to get dealt after a rough 2024, and he'll head to his new team with plenty to prove as another go-around at free agency beckons
    • Yes, great players are always helpful. They improve your margin for error.  
    • Why would you say that after the year EBJ just had? He is my Mullins replacement.
