They’re big boys.  I’m sure Gunnar is beating himself up over it and everyone else is telling him to relax and we wouldn’t be where we are without you.   I don’t think he needs an arm around him on the field.  A few words of encouragement in the locker room.   These guys are tight.   

How about in the dugout.  Maybe Kremer should have done it.  Pick one another up.

I think Hays and Mullins have supplied a lot of the veteran leadership.  With Hays sulking and now gone and Mullins probably preoccupied with his own slumping, veteran leadership has probably been hard to find.  Burnes would probably say his leadership is showing up to pitch every 5th day.  Maybe Adley has been distracted by his new gf and it has affected his game.  Who knows what has affected Gunnar.  Going to be in 3rd place in AL East soon if O's don't snap out of it.

I get it … But they are playing poorly. They deserve the criticism as bad as they are playing. When they are good they deserve praise. They are not playing fundamentally sound baseball. I don’t mind losing …it happens but the way they’ve been losing is unacceptable.

Gunnar was probably more pissed than down.  When a teammate is pissed you usually let them be.

Yeah pissed so he threw his next throw into the stands.

So the Phillies upgraded their pen and their outfield and it only cost them a couple of middling prospects.

Pretty shrewd series of moves.

This sucks .  But I think Scott was our target all along.    Hopefully a 2-for from the Fish tank.

When you get a rental and a mediocre at best OFer, there is only so much you will trade.

I hope we try to get Nardi, not Scott.

That mediocre outfielder is a solid upgrade for them, and it is yet to be seen if we're going to adequately replace him.

And that rental reliever would probably be our best bullpen arm.

I hear you … so can we do the same and add Scott?

Maybe we can get both … Not sure I get why you are so high on Nardi.

Yea he’s a guy I wanted but they likely want a lefty. Would have been good to add 2 more guys really.

Because he’s really good

22 Earned runs in 44 innings, a 5 ERA, 8.5 H/9 plus 2.5 walks. I see he strikes out a lot of guys. Looking he was much better last year…  17 ER In 53 innings.
