Monday July 17: Dodgers in town for 3

[eddie83]

Thing that cracks me up is the recent call ups aren’t hitting cleanup and being asked to be a 1 starter or closer.

The obvious answer is Elly De La Cruz.

Isn't that always your answer?

Vespa may surprise us - we was nails in AAA this year.

And we're absolutely desperate for any lefty out of the pen. He's absolutely deserving of a shot.

Another guy who, if we were under .500, would be getting an extended tryout.

Did you see he had the highest velocity assist in the Statcast era the other day?

Was Henderson limping a little walking back to the dugout?

At least the Dodgers are using their best relievers today. Focus is on winning 2 of 3.

Patience.  I’m sure Elias has at least six overpaid, defensively challenged vets already on speed dial.

Yes it was.

Just not your night when you let 2 avg relievers mow you down 2 innings in a row after giving up the lead.

Orioles are scoring 5.75 runs a game this month and people are complaining about the lineup. Hilarious.

Who cares? Im Not talking about what he did in early June. I’m talking right now, when you and your other alter egos are crying about what Cowser is doing right now.

All 162 games matter. Not just July.

At least Cano and Bautista get another day off.  This offense is the toughest we have faced.  No easy outs. Tons of tough at-bats.  Some others have more raw talent, but this one grinds you up.
