I'm not opposed to it but as a late bloomer whose game is predicated on speed... I'm not sure if we're going to get great value out of an extension.  If Bradfield develops we might not even miss the outfield defense.

If we can sign him until Bradfield is ready, like a 2 year contact.

Why? 

The better run expectancy with 1 out and a runners on 1st and 3rd is generally worth the out if it's at least a coinflip.  That was a close play, and I'm sure Adley/Mansolino thought he would throw home.

Man on third with less than two outs to manufacture a run. With two outs, you don't take that risk. Was the play close? Not watching.

Our bullpen is getting to night off.

That’s basically what happened last year in Philly. Looks to be a repeat.

Damn. What is Adley possibly thinking there? Could have been a monster inning. 

With one out, a chance to get in position to score on a sac fly.

Very long throw from RF to 3B.

WIth Frazier coming home, there's a decent chance the outfielder goes home anyway.

I don't think it was a bad send.

Springer made a great play.

It also draws the throw away from home. I am not bothered by it.

Gibson, sigh.

He's got 2 more arb years left but if Bradfield develops next year then Mullins might get traded in the 2024 offseason.  I doubt I'd sign him for 2026 or 2027.

I never want to see Brandon Belt again...damn....give back run..

[Mooreisbetter27]

Belt is a real pain in the ass. Wasn’t he left for dead after last year? Killing us the last couple of series 

[mrbig1]

Damn.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Here we go

[Roy Firestone]

this game is FAR from over..
