I would be shocked if he doesn’t get sent down after the game.  He needs to play everyday and get his  mojo back.

Who would we bring up? I don't think we have anyone who can help the team until Mateo or Westburg get healthy. Why not keep Mayo around until we need to make a move?

Albert did his job and was great...Im pretty sure thats it,,,But Hyde MAY give him a batter or two...but he was excellent again...I wish Rogers and Kremer were this good

Will be interesting to see bullpen usage today, assuming Perez and Cano unavailable having pitched last two days. Seranthony would be working two days in a row. 

I never feel good about whoever they bring in

I think they will bring up JD Davis who hit a homerun last night.  Urias will play most everyday.  I think it will be just for two weeks to preserve his rookie status and get him back in a groove.

This guy has one of the biggest zones Ive ever seen. Seems consistent though.

Dude you are right.

[Roy Firestone]

I cant believe we have only 1 run today...

[HowAboutThat]

So, last start, on Monday, Albert did 5 IP and 73 pitches before turning over the mound to the dumpster fire. Today he went 6/84, and was at least as good as before. 
I sure wish he’d gotten that one last inning on Monday.

This Uceta for Tampa had been impressive.   Both last night and today.

Everyone hating on Big Al earlier in the year need to apologize.

[Roy Firestone]

Albert going back out...have pen up...but he earned the right to get the 7th...

Him sitting on the bench here isn’t help him figure it out.  Urias is going to get most of the starts right now.  Two weeks and he can reset himself and help this team in September.

Is Maton still in Norfolk?  He was hitting pretty well early in the year.

Springs is the pitcher Rogers needs to emulate. Fastball on corners, lots of changeup, occasionally dump in back door slider to RHs and away to LHs.
