How Sweet Caroline would it be to have him occasionally sock it to the Red Sox as our 4th outfielder, following in the legacy of the Mandino and Matusz.

Little Yaz is holding his own.  I'd rather have him than Stevie.  Even though I like Stevie.

WIlkerson's ability to play in the infield notwithstanding?

He's versatile, he's got some pop.  I like Stevie.  But maybe I should have said I'd rather have Little Yaz rather than Smith.

Yes, Smith has certainly collapsed after an exciting beginning. Fortunately, we have plenty of time to see if he can pull out of it--and very little need, considering the wealth of corner OF options that should be available soon enough.

Well, Stewart needs some at bats.  We'll see.

Me too. I was surprised we let him go really. It's even more frustrating that Tyler Herb hasn't done squat in Norfolk and hasn't done much of anything noteworthy since 2017 while Yastrzemski had an .801 OPS at AAA that year. Just the pedigree alone should have earned him a good look here. He tore it up in AAA immediately after the trade and is doing a hell of a lot better than Smith. We may not have even signed Broxton at all. Oh well, nothing we can do about it now. Just another bad deal, but can't blame the previous administration for this one.

Why does it have to be Stevie vs Yaz. We didn’t even give even give little yaz a chance last year. The giants are going with little Yaz over Rickard. Rickard got every chance out there to do something here.

Yaz walk-off is fun to watch.

Kevin Gausman came off the DL and pitched 7 innings, allowing 5 hits and one run.    Perhaps it’s time for his annual second half surge.    His ERA is at 5.71 on the year in 14 starts.

It was stated that he is still working on his cutter and curve ball but went almost exclusively with the fastball and split yesterday.  Gotta love it.

The guy is what 28 years old?  He has probably been pitching since he was 7.  He went to a top D1 school and came through a minor league system.  My point is he has had top coaches working with him, probably since he was in his early teens.  If he hasn't come up with an effective breaking pitch at this point I wouldn't hold my breath that he eventually will.

Currently at 1.1 WAR, OPS-ing .803. Nice to see him holding his own in The Show.

Stevie is ancient for a prospect.  Yaz is a year older.  Yaz is two years older than Machado and Harper.

God, how little Yaz makes it to the ballpark without a walker is amazing to me.
