    Call me crazy but I would resign gogo to a 2-3 year deal if it's fair.

    He adds some juice to this team.

    Well, it's not like we have a lot of quality outfield options.

    Well, at least there was only one dumbass calling for Harris to be removed from the closer spot after 1 bad game. That's an improvement.

    The rest of you negative Nancy's should know better than to proclaim a loss with this team before it's over. They've won how many in the last bat?

    Its a no Springer/no Rasmus lineup.

    Watch them explode.

    Today's lineup looks like it will be 6+ or < 3 runs today. I'd like to see Reed get going today to give him a boost of confidence heading to the all star break.

    Is Springer hurt?

    Just a weird time for a day off, he didn't make the ASG so he is about to get a 4 day break.

    Just a normal day off, prob will be in the game later as a runner/pinch hitter. He will start tomorrow's game.

    Rasmus out due to an ear infection. Springer just getting a day off.

    Not loving the lineup very much. O/U in Vegas currently at 8. Seems like a pretty good bet to me.

    Just a really weird time for a "day off", with 4 days off coming after tomorrow

    Or maybe Geoge is going to the ASG as a replacement and it just hasn't been announced yet

    Lol Ashby. There's not a single player in the league who would start waking to the dugout after that wild pitch strikeout.
