Two of the starts were good. That said definite concern with him. He doesn’t strike out much. 

We need an offensive night like last night.

What are the odds that Tyler Wells is built back up in the minors and put back in the rotation in Watkins' spot?

With DL Hall and Atkins, you could pair one of the up with him.

You either get thrown out at home (a harder play) or thrown out at first. Make them do it. They throw you out either way if they succeed.

It takes a runner out of scoring position.  It’s dumb.

Watkins is a Cinderella story, etc... but I'm afraid that he's just not all that good. 

Everything's up, he's just very hittable. 

They keep talking about Wells and if he comes back, what role. No law against using him as 3 inning SP if they want to. 
Not saying that is what they should do just throwing it out there.

Certainly could do that.

Yeah. It’s possible. Having some solid swings.

I'm not sure what the deal is with Grayson Rodriguez - he would have to replace someone who's injured.. is that accurate?

[Hank Scorpio]

Uh... is Mateo hurt? 

[Pushmonkey]

Was Mateo running there?

[Moshagge3]

Mateo is back out there, but it looked like he pulled up on that DP.

[Moshagge3]

Watkins is falling back to earth.

He was definitely not running at 100%.

[Moose Milligan]

Watkins needs to get it together. Walking that slap hitter to start this inning was unacceptable. 

[Moshagge3]

Scoreboard watching: Oneil Cruz is up with the tying run in scoring position for Pittsburgh.

[ExileAngelos]

Ball was dead middle of the plate.
