We have Kopech figured out.  

Save energy and don't swing - maybe he'll get tired.

We’re not going to trade Mancini? Why not?

Wow, just saw a replay of Austin's throw in the first inning.   Amazing.

We don't have a hit since the 2nd batter of the game.

It's odd when defense keeps us this close "in" a game...

It's a PR thing. And I mean.... Trey is a GREAT player to have! To keep. But to trade him this year..... it would look COLD by an org. Guy coming off cancer and having a BIG year...

Ok. Makes sense. Thank you, brother

I'm only still watching (with volume) this game and posting because it's the last game for 4 days.

I don't have much hope for this game... Never give up? F that noise.

An actual baserunner.   Good job McKenna.  This dude is pitching for the 2nd time in 21 hours, maybe he's tired today.

[KillerTofu]

Ok, McKenna, let’s steal a bag here.

[scOtt]

Wonder if Trey took batting practice off Distrano today? Preparing.

Did you see Adley’s at bat?  He knew he missed hittable pitch.

Wasn't it a little in on the hands?

Why the heck did I think this was the 9th for some reason.

Because you want the misery to end.

I will say Pedro has a little bit more speed than the typical catcher.   He's beaten out quite a few balls at first this year where my first thought was "catcher running, this will be an out".

Doesn't make up for all the other deficiencies in his game, though.

Slightly. Cutter. You could hear him say I’ve gotta be on time for that. Something along those lines.
