Eloy has no business hitting any longer. What the hell is Hyde doing? He doesn’t hit lefties better. Good god. 

I never understood the move in the first place.  You don't pick up a guy that needs a swing rebuild to unlock his one tool during a pennant race.

Santander at 1B, Kjerstad in RF

Rivera at 1B, Mayo at 3B

Santander is not a 1B. Rivera can probably play 1B but then you would have bad defense at 3B. And I don't think Mayo is better than O'Hearn, at least not yet.

But there are alternatives. 

They are all probably worse than O'Hearn.

Because Hyde loves him some veteranosity,

Don’t trust Mayo is why. 

[O's84]

So that's what a clutch hit looks like.

No. Because he has a massive hole in his swing. He never hits pitch on outside half ever. 

[LookitsPuck]

Alright, Webb. 3-0 or 2-0. We all know it doesn’t matter. 

[SilverRocket]

Feel like Povich could've gone one more inning.

Are you talking about O’Hearn or what

[eddie83]

When an opposing pitcher goes in the same spot over and over why is that?

[spiritof66]

Wow, Mayo fanned. I'm shocked. He's struck out in fewer than half of his PAs -- 19 Ks in 39 ABs.  And he's walked four times and has mashed three singles.

Mayo.
