Hope we have more luck not playing a NL team.  I bet we struggle against the Nats.

Now I need to see a replay lol. I could be mistaken because of the shift.

I'm talking about Arozarena grounding out to 3B. The first out of the inning.

Adley is not living up to the hype.  I know he does intangible things to help us win.

Adley's really good, but he might not be Buster Posey type offensive player. He's still good offensively for a catcher.

But if you're going to give an early extension to one of the younger players it's Gunnar or even Holliday.  Doesn't seem likely though due to them being represented by Boras. And who knows if JA is even open to the idea.

I think it’s time to remove Adley from the leadoff spot. I know. OBP and stuff but he seemed more comfortable at the plate before he started hitting leadoff. I am ready for Mullins to lead off again. I want someone who can get in the pitchers head like he did at the start of this past inning when he gets on base. 

Hicks can hit leadoff. He works the counts the best on the team.

Rutchsman needs to

1) sit for a gme or two.

2) stay out of the top of the order.

In this sequence.

you dont sit your generational player in a series regardless of how hes playing. move him to 6/ and let him lead of the top of order

[Moshagge3]

QS for Bradish if he's done, but I think he starts the 7th.

Sophomore slump.  Very common for players. He will adjust.  Not very threatening at the moment though. Seems to be pressing.

Now we just need the official scorer to revise that Westburg play and Bradish can keep his 3.03 ERA.

Poche for TB. 

[eddie83]

We have nobody up so far.

Negative Nancies can shut off the TV and keep it off through October.

It should have been an error, for real. Average play at best.

Interesting idea
