[Hank Scorpio]

Ugh man.. it’s gonna be a problem for awhile I’m afraid. 

Please don’t call up McKenna

And it seems like Franco bats every inning lol

[TopGunnar]

Hicks is brutal. I’m sure this will offend prople

Is this little league?

My coach in little league told us to always take on a 3-0 count.

I figured strategy was a bit more advanced in the majors.

We haven’t done a great job of doing it and I would rather him potentially walk and make Glasgow throw a few more pitches. But I am not against it always.

He’s 33, he’s gonna be a step slow.

We should trade Hicks back to the Yankees.  It would hurt them more than us...LOL

I'm pretty much always against taking the initiative away from the hitter.

He's not a step slow... he's getting to everything,  he just has a glove covered in butter.

the hope would be Cowser force him to the bench when Mullins is back but that outlook seems like its going to take a few weeks, if Cowser is given such time.

How's Randy been since the HR Derby?

I think that’s a fair position for guys with good strike zone judgment which Gunnar obviously has.

Every single hit walk and RBI for both teams in this game so far is by a LH hitter. It’s two different games when a RH is up vs when a LH is.

Gibby in the dagger groove!!! Take that Randy!! 

[Baltimorecuse]

Need a couple more runs.

Who was it knocked in the third run?  It wasn’t the 3 for 30 Cowser? Who do we trade him to?
