2 for 3 with an RBI….Also Slater is 3 for 4 so far. So some of Elias acquisitions are contributing in a positive way.

Could be a big change of scenery guy, Hicks last year that Jazz guy from Miami Etc, hopefully Jiminez. Has sme of hardest contact rate in the game,

Is anyone here friends with Heston Kjerstad's family?

It doesn't make my blood boil, personally. He hasn't hit since coming off IL, and he hasn't played good defense either. I think he needs to get on track in AAA and put the concussion behind him fully.

Got to imagine they think something is not right since the concussion or they just want him playing every day. The outfield is pretty set with Cower, Mullins and Santander with Slater in the McKenna r

So hopefully Rogers bounces back. I just don’t get the bullpen additions, we are getting exactly what we traded for. I don’t think every player will benefit from a change of scenery

Per Roch … Irvin stayed and is at Norfolk

I’m kinda surprised and I don’t think this is insignificant. He’s been very inconsistent with us, but nice depth to have. Can rip off 10 or so decent starts at times, could be a fifth starter to start next year.

 I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait for the Eloy Jimenez Experience.

So how's the experience going over the last two games since posting this? ;)

Please no. We already just acquired a fifth/marginal/average LH starter in Rodgers. And we still have Kremer to carry on next year's team. Can't afford to have 3/5ths of the rotation be comprised of those 3. We are just climbing out of that situation. We lost for 6 weeks mainly due to a pitching staff that housed a 6 ERA.

Irvin is fine for AAA depth. But the longer he starts the more exposed his lack of talent becomes.

He had two years of being a passable 5 in Oakland. He’s always been jerked around here a bit (rightfully so, we can’t afford how bad he’s been at times).

I’d aim higher for a 5th starter and he’s definitely better slated to be AAA depth (which is valuable in itself) but to start the season you could do worse.

      The Red Sox Series, 9/9-9/11

      At this point if you told me they went 9-9 and finished 91-71 I'd be more than satisfied. Probably wouldnt be good enough for the division though unless 2 or 3 of the wins were against NYY. Hard to see them beating any decent team in a series though right now.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      Yeah I had the thought of moving Mullins back up recently as well. Mainly just to get Adley out of that spot though.

      Yesterday was certainly a hate-watch.  Then I got in the truck and hate-listened while doing errands. I'd like to see some guys come off the IL and get back to playing normal but the clock is ticking and I'm afraid that's too much to ask for.  I'd like to believe that the team can go on a run but as you said that's blind faith.

      I think Kjerstad probably saw the post-game spread and thought Taco Bell was a better option.

      Feels like i‘m hate watching most games these days LOL.    Any belief that this team is going to ‘go on a run’ is just blind faith at this point. This team is like Forest Gump’s box of chocolates - you really have no idea what team is going to be on the field. Will Povich give up 8 runs in three innings?  Or will he give up 1-2 in 6?  Will the offense mash 4 homers?  Or not even get 4 hits? Regardless of opponent you just can’t possibly anticipate.    Also all these lineups with Jimenez, Maton , Rivera and the like are giving me 2021 vibes way too often.

      Looking forward to Bello schooling us again like he has all season.  3 games, and our slash is .180/.286/.279 against him.  That's right, our slugging is lower than our OBP against him. I might not even watch tonight.   I mean, who am I kidding?  I'll watch, but it'll be hate-watching.

      Hi Sanity, On rehab assigments MLB players don't typically intereact with coaches after the game. He likely doesn't have any relationship with his teammates. I lived in FL for a decade and have seen this before when MLB players are sent on assignment or ST games. I understand the humble concept, but I'd rather have him believe he is a MLB player at this point in his career.   No MLB enjoys being sent to the minors.  Maybe he wanted to get the clubhouse in Baltimore with his teammates-maybe he likes the food at the MLB level better than the food at A level.  Maybe he wanted to use the new hitting machine at CY. I don't think it is anything to be concerned about.
