July 31st - vs Toronto - Jackson Holliday returns to the lineup

[eddie83]

When he throws it there he rarely gets hit.

Make Gunnar watch all the Tom Emanski videos back to back before he plays the field again.

Kimberl is being Kimbrel, walks!!!  Just a very bad pitcher!!!!!!!

So how many more roster moves do we need to make? 3 correct ? 
 

Rogers, Jimenez and Slater?

They optioned him to AAA

Wth?  must be trying to maintain his rookie status for next year.  There is no way that Norby is not one of 26 best Marlin players.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence but it’s funny how much better they’ve played after Hays was traded 

[eddie83]

Phils cut lead to 1.  

[eddie83]

Good location.  

[mrbig1]

Good job Kimbrel.

[TopGunnar]

Really hope 2 or 3 guys in this bullpen step up so we don’t have to see Kimbrel anymore.

Speculation is they will try to pass Slater through waivers. 

Jimenez --> Kjerstad

Rogers --> Birch Smith (Suarez to pen)

Pache survives

Still can't believe Elias didn't get a closer.  Garcia would have been perfect.  I can't remember what was  traded for him, it wasn't much.

[oriolediehard]

Kimbrel is better in  low leverage.

I think Gunnar is just so athletic and naturally talented he has gotten away with it for a long time.  Its good for him to have these issues now, so he can realize hes also got to be more fundamentally sound and work on playing the hop.

Hes a determined guy, he will get there.

Agree.   His athleticism is off the charts and I think he was just starting to get lazy because of it.  Relying on it.  Get back to basics and he will be fine.
