[Roy Firestone]

Those McKenna non competitive at bats could come back to bite us....

McKenna just so awful...

McKenna is a platoon hitter at this point.  He wouldn't be in there against a strong righty if Cowser had shown anything at all at the plate.  Even if it is a squeeze play he maybe should be bunting. 

[Emory Eagle]

That hurts.  Trying to gift the Jays a split I guess.

[Moshagge3]

McKenna knew exactly was Gausman was going to do and still couldn't touch him.

With a force at home?

[Uli2001]

Rutschman has got to be more selective there. Wait for your pitch.

[Hallas]

Man Flaherty is dealing.

[Billy F-Face3]

So, what do we think about Daz Cameron? 

Or maybe stick Frazier in left field and Hays in Centerfield. Let Westburg and Urias play 2B.  

[ArtVanDelay]

Vlad is the most overrated player in the game

We’ve been beating up on Gausman.  Gotten him up over 90 pitches in 4 IP.

Still only 2 runs.

You could blame it on McKenna, but that’s a starter you want in your rotation.

I think we should swap Kjerstad and Cowser.  Hays in CF.  McKenna stays as a defensive replacement.

True, but I wouldn't be suggesting it if it were someone else at the plate.  And it would completely catch the Jays off guard.

If Daz Cameron was any good then he would’ve had a shot already.  He’s almost certainly worse than McKenna.

Every time a ball goes to center my heart stops.  It Cowser induced PTSD.

He's not having a great season but most 24-year-olds who have already been worth 14+ wins are not overrated.
