Carroll healthy? I’m guessing he has a case. Rushed him.

He looked healthy. He looked like he's always looked. A guy with a good arm, throws straight, can't command anything, seem to struggle on a big stage.

Did it work?

Sometimes.

Stevie Wilkerson woulda caught it...

That's not a good way to endear yourself to a manager. I'm beginning to think we didn't pick up any real prospects with the trades of Machado, Britton, etc. 

Most folks were aware of the quality of the return before the trades were made.

Still have hope for Kremer, though.

[Moose Milligan]

That's gotta be caught.  C'mon.

I'll see a replay but...that didn't look like a good route.

The whole of the Britton deal, to me, was just guys the Yankees wanted off their 40 man.

Yeah. Obviously the story is still out on Zach Pop, but Carroll and Tate are guys with good arms but little consistent command.

Or Machado.

Machado had some value left.  Britton was expensive, coming off an injury and not all that effective.

The stupid cameramen gave us a replay of the ball in flight instead of the right fielder in pursuit

Yeah, tongue was firmly planted in my cheek.

Good to see the defense starting to catch up with the pitching in suckitude tonight, but there's a long way to go.

Need that mercy rule tonight.

Hmmm...

Season not starting well.  I wish I could have logged it with something a little less obvious, but whatever.

It's great to have a game thread to drop in on.  Hope ya'll are doing well.

I mean, we didn't get much in return for him.  I guess Kremer can be good.  Diaz too, maybe.

It's opening day for the TV crews too.

And Dan saying “whatever”
I swear they just said “here“ and he said ok”
